Any commitment to improvements gets my vote

How come the Battle of Britain hasn't had a mention - best flying sequences in any film because all most all of the flying is real!!

<r> Came across this project to use AI to catalogue Time Magazines photo archive of over 4,000,000 photos, 95% of which were never published. Should be plenty of interesting photos for the WW2 fan.<br/>

I think the unusual aspect in this situation is that the combat took place at 2 hexes. With the Japanese advantage in aircraft range, how did you manage to get so close before striking?

Interesting to see an early mark Spitfire in the background of the first 2 photos - is it under restoration?

<t> You should know by now that we Brit's never surrender - <br/>
<br/>
we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing ...

This is Scenario 2 with all settings set to historical e.g. US torpedoes, production etc

If I have time, I'll look into an AAR but it will be slow as I don't get a lot of time these days to devote to the game.

<t> Just started a new Grand Campaign playing the Allies against the AI (I don't have the time to devote to a PBEM). Now I've been playing this game since it came out and thought I was reasonable against the AI, BUT this campaign has already got me on the defensive.<br/>

Lost Prince of Wales ...

<t> I've been over twice in the past - no one mentioned that it's the BIGGEST aviation event in the world, regularly hosting 10,000+ aircraft of all shapes and sizes and it has it's own float plane base. There is no way a person can see everything in a week, it's just too big.<br/>

I camped ...

You think you have problems I've been forced to reinstall windows 7 this weekend after my machine started to throw tantrums and wouldn't boot at all. But I've spent a day and a half trying to get windows update to run without any success

If you get the chance, go to the Shuttleworth collection - best collection of WWI aircraft in airworthy condition in the UK.

26, but I got lucky on a few of the guesses.

<t> Tried raiding Truk in an old game against the AI. Must have been late 43 and I had about 1000 aircraft spread around several CV task forces only to find the AI had 2000 aircraft on Truk. Lost 6 CVs over a three day period without denting Truk's defences much. Now I engage in hit and run and only ...

<t> 150 plus a random value in the range 1 to 150. So in this case keep the number of aircraft in a task force to AT MOST 300, but preferably nearer 150 to minimise the risk of bad coordination.<br/>
<br/>
p.s. I also try to use the weather to my advantage where possible i.e. hide in the poorer ...

<t> I have 2 ARs at Johnson already, plenty of supplies and some LBA just in case the Japanese come calling. Hopefully the temporary repairs can be conducted quickly and I can move both BBs back to the States via Pearl in a month or two.<br/>

Must admit I would have been more upset if I had ...

<t> Following a somewhat fruitless and in hindsight, stupid, attempted bombardment of Wake Island in February 1942. <br/>
Colorado and Warspite were badly mauled by the Japanese land based aircraft. Colorado initially suffered 91% <br/>
floatation damage and over 50% systems damage.<br/>

On my third game as Allies v AI, never finished one yet. Still learning after about 6 years playing. Currently in March 42 (Ironman scenario) and doing OK. Check the forums daily. Best game I ever played (apart from Elite on a BBC micro)

Shuttleworth web site is <LINK link="http://shuttleworth.org/"><s>[link=http://shuttleworth.org/]</s>http://shuttleworth.org/<e>[/link]</e></LINK><br/>

East Kirkby is <LINK link="http://www.lincsaviation.co.uk/"><s>[link=http://www.lincsaviation ...

<t> Two lesser attractions which are well worth the visit are East Kirkby (home of the Lancaster Just Jane which is undergoing restoration to air worthy condition - On Wednesdays they taxi her around) and The Shuttleworth collection at Old Warden.<br/>

I'll post urls to the web sites tonight ...

Cheers guys - stars as ever [&o]
