John III took the Hawaiian Islands in his current game with NYGiants (the game is currently suspended, but I think they plan to resume).<br/>

My impression of what John did was that he took Hawaii just for the sake of taking Hawaii ...

Read Quitoxe's Road Less Traveled. IMHO this is the best Japanese opening available.

We need to defend the game and the forum so that people who stop by to look don't swallow what the odd Timotheus says, someone who is into fantasy games and not historical games. I think that is his fundamental problem. This is the best ...

Canada does everything the way we Yanks do, they just add "eh?" to the end of everything*. They even drive on the correct side of the road.<br/>

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Apologies for the slightly late response. I have been closely following your opponent's AAR and dipping into yours from time to time for the "view from the other side of the hill". I am surprised that no one else responded to your point 1. I feel a bit odd about giving ...

<r> If you are getting ambitious why not make it hurt. John always likes to stage from Marcus island, it is a tough nut, but while his navy is hurting over the next several months the time may be ripe. The island is also isolated - yet <B><s>[b]</s>heavily<e>[/b]</e></B> defended.<I><s>[i]</s><e>[/i ...

I remember watching an NBC White Paper about the modern navy sometime in the late 80's or 90's...before the end of the USSR as I recall. They were interviewing an admiral on-board a Ticonderoga or an Arleigh Burke, and the admiral explained the ...

There exists a realistic possibility that drones with missiles will replace even today's capital ships. Swams of drones launched from much smaller platforms with the capability to deliver devastating strikes.<br/>
The slim and only argument ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>What can a 16 inch shell do that a missile can't do better? The only thing I can think of is that anti-missile systems might struggle to deal with a 16 inch shell, but that's a moot point considering the range limitations and the problem of accuracy.<br/>

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>So I fully understand if John is feeling awesome at the moment (hey, he just took his cavalry division on a gallop around the Army of the Potomoc, generating favorable press and making General Meade look clumsy).

Has anyone competed the first ASL "Guards Counter Attack/The Tractor Works" or their combined mission of "The Streets of Stalingrad"?

Hoping someone makes this and posts it soon!

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>To measure a slave owner in 1860 by 2016 standards yields extreme results.

<t> The kind of counter attack you are expecting would be far and away more desirable than a well planned and prepped Operation designed to do deep damage. A counter attack would again show he has yielded the initiative and is reacting to you while an Operation into a pre-planned offensive (like ...
