Another very useful thread. I will understand all aspects of this game in another 30 years,

Duly noted guys, thanks.

For what it is worth I have been playing with 27b ( I updated without paying attention) but so far it has not suffered any issues. But then again I am pretty easy to please.

That sounds like a lot of work. Hats off to you for diving in. It sounds like an interesting scenario.

I am enjoying reading these posts from the point of view of a relatively new Japanese player. And thank you Ranger Joe for your comments. I am taking notes !

Good video, thanks.

Perseverance and patience are so important as an Allied player in the early stages of the game.

Great points guys, thanks. I am inching closer to finally playing PVP with me taking the Japanese side. I am learning a lot.

I just read about your surgery. I am sorry to hear that.
