<t> Hi All, I'm coming back after something like two years of not playing. My last two PBEM opponents disapeared on me. Thinking about starting a game versus Japan AI. I saw some misc. posts saying Andy updated AI. Are these the stock scenarios after update? Or do I need to download a separate file ...

Fighting fires on those things must have been the closest to hell one could get on earth.

<t> Hello forum,<br/>
<br/>
A few months into my latest PBEM, playing as allies. First time in the latest beta, my last PBEM was some earlier iteration of stock WITP AE. (I love the beta!) Some of this has contradictory info in the forum, so I figured I'd start my own thread. A few quick questions ...

<t> In the beginning of the my PBEM game I set combat animations to "off" to speed the initial stomping up. Now when things are settling in to a routine I want to play combat animations because there is a lot of detail in them that isn't shown otherwise. I can't make that happen. I set it on the ...

Thanks forum. Starting a game versus zeta16. Will probably keep a loose aar on the forum.

<t> Hi Forum,<br/>
<br/>
Greetings after a bit of a hiatus. Looking for a Japanese opponent experienced enough to run a decent campaign. Scen 2, or open to other suggestions. I have several AI campaigns and one campaign versus a human under my belt, so, mid-level veteran opponent would be best for ...

<t> Thanks for the reply, BB. It's great knowing somebody else looked at my ravings here.<br/>
<br/>
That's crazy with the japanese sealift. Sadly, my airforce and surface fleet has not hurt these ships nearly enough. Although, Diamond Harbor's guns and mines sank quite a few, and damaged enough ...

I used my CVs somewhat aggressively, resulting in good things for the Allies, despite some setbacks resulting from my bad habits from playing the AI.<br/>
<br/>
Through carefully laid CAP ambushes I stripped the entire aircraft complement ...

<r> I have neglected this AAR, We are now in mid-March 1942, so I’ll update it a bit here. It has been an interesting game, a sort of modified Sir Robin on the part of the Allies paired with a very aggressive and efficient assault by scenario 2 Japanese, and I think maybe some readers will be ...

Thank you, I guess I could have figured that out for myself. Hope I didn't keep you from doing more important things!

Second Day

<t> Thanks for looking at this Michael. I do not have the "real turn." That is, the turn after the devices upgraded and that I ended and sent to my opponent. I do have the turns he sent back to me (from my email) So, I am sending you two turns. The first is the day I ordered the 17th Div to upgrade ...

<t> For a PBEM started under the latest official patch:<br/>
<br/>
When a unit upgrades devices the old devices disappear and do not go back into the pool. For example, the 17th Indian Division recently upgrade 20 18 pounders to 25 pounders. Those 20 18 pounders did not go back into the pool to be ...

They should be there, along with the 1st 2nd and 3rd and 4th tank divisions... if not, I made the doc editable by anyone with the link.... which means everybody here

Sorry, forum posting and PM rules don't let me attach xlsx files, I posted a link in the war room for a <LINK link="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoGuKJ7G2U_AdFpTZnZzMkJoOG5iRWQ2cUxNNzJTWlE#gid=0"><s>[link=https://docs.google ...

<r> Here is a spreadsheet listing all Japanese Divisions at the start of the war in Scenario 2. It is sortable, so you can keep track of stuff. I don't think I can post files here, so I'm providing a link to google docs. If you want the xlsx file, pm me and I'll send it as an attachment.<br/>

<t> I made a spreadsheet with every Japanese division listed. All 83 divisions are there(I think) even if some elements of the division don't arrive until much later in the war. I list the division, and I have a field listing the elements, and what date the last element arrives (making it possible ...

<t> I never finished a game versus the AI, but I brought a few into 1944. I had a "major victory" my late 1942 every time. The trick is, I think, to not break the AI. this means, let them have places you could defend, and leave some assets at home. Don't rush divisions forward, protect major ports ...

I love your AAR title, I hope the game goes better than most snipe hunts!

if you disband/withdraw a group early that is slated to be "withdrawn" at some future point, you'll actually gain PP's.
