<t> Unfortunately this game has come to a close. Differences in play style and how serious we are about the game were the underlying factors. I hold no hard feelings towards my opponent and he says the same. He has been playing much longer than I have and don't think anyone should form strong ...

<r> The results in the post above... you can ignore those. After much debate and with still a strong protest, the hotfix was applied and the Sptember 7th turn was rerun. I will not talk further about why this was done in this thread as my opponent has no chance to tell his side of the story.<br ...

The American carriers parked about 200 miles south of Milne Bay on the 7th. I moved my subs into their general vicinity and got lucky. They did not move between the 7th and the 8th. CV Enterprise took 2 torpedoes and CA Australia took 4 ...

<r> Thanks for checking back in Aprezto. I'm learning some things that you just have to learn the hard way, such as the tendency for Betty's to strike at ships in port hexes. I'm sure it won't be the last lesson I learn in this scenario and probably won't even be the most painful I learn. I do still ...

<r> The list from the game only tells part of the story. I've kept track of others ships I've damaged over the course of the scenario. Their victory points are listed.<br/>

xAP Neleus 5 bombs heavy fires, heavy damage 12<br/>
xAP Moreton Bay 2 torpedoes on fire, heavy damage 26<br/>

This was a very bad day for the Japanese Empire. 48 Betty's that left base this morning were never heard from again. This was due in large part to poor intelligence the day before. Almost all of these were lost over Lunga. The ships ...

<r> Thanks for reading Galahad. I found a ton of useful information in AAR's so far but I didn't see any complete AAR's for this scenario, part of the reason I decided to do this.<br/>

On August 31 I got sigint that there was a high volume of radio traffic just 80 miles southeast of Cooktown. I took a guess that these were transports headed for Port Moresby or possibly an attempt to retake Milne Bay. With the amount of ...

<r> d0mbo - It was in fact FOW. The losses for those planes dropped significantly as time progressed.<br/>
<br/>
Long gap since the last update. Basicly, I've run a good example of how to screw up an operation as much as possible and still be successful. I did say I was newb right? I'll run ...

- One squadron of Betty's escorted by Zeroes using drop tanks bombed Allied transports at Lunga. 8 F4F's were shot down for 5 zeroes and 3 Betty's. This was a one time raid to remind my opponent that he is not invulnerable there. We may do this again but it will be a while ...

<r> Quick update. Just got the next turn and prett sure I got a tanker (heavy damage, heavy fires) with a sub.<br/>
<br/>
Also noticed that Unyo's speed is only 21. With the next slowest being 29 and the limited zero air groups available, I'll keep her out of the fleet.<br/>

<t> Thank you both for the advice. I&nbsp;really appreciate the time it must have taken you to put all that information down apretzo. I will read it and reread it as this progresses. Some of it I knew, some I didn't (like the 9k supplies I need to go grab). Having no shipyard is a PITA. I know the ...

<t> Fatr -&nbsp;Can it be taken if the allied player doesn't move&nbsp;reinforcements in? It seems&nbsp;Japan&nbsp;will receive&nbsp;enough troops to defeat what starts there but I don't know much at all about land combat so I'll take your word for it.<br/>

<t> This is a recently started Guadalcanal PBEM. I hope this will be more a discussion of upcoming strategy rather than reporting what has already happened although you obviously can't plan without knowing the situation.<br/>

We are using historical settings and one day turns.<br/>
The only ...

<t> It's almost like the resources are accumulating past the 999,999 cap at accumulation points&nbsp;with the excess being lost but it could just as easily be&nbsp;transportation losses. I hope they do something about this for the final patch 2. I'm guessing they will. This is the most interactive ...

<t> I ran a test to try to get an idea how resources flow from Kyushu to Honshu if they do at all. This is using the new Beta patch. My findings were a little disturbing but hopefully someone can explain what I don't understand and hopefully I made enough sense that this can be followed.<br/>

<t> I have no illusions that this is a fast game. I've had the game for several months and have been lurking around the boards for almost as long. I expect at best if using one day turns it would take half as long as the real war but most likely longer than that. I plan on doing a smaller scenario ...

I have thoroughly enjoyed this AAR. I've picked up some tips and have decided to take a plunge into a PBEM game myself once I find an opponent. I'll be following this one to the end.
