RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo

<t> The USS Nimitz suddenly emerges from the swirling clouds of a strangely electrified maelstrom. 2 F-14 Tomcats sit at cats 1 and 2 straining against their launch shuttles in full afterburner. An E2-C Hawkeye taxis slightly behind them waiting for its turn. A figure in yellow gives a snap salute ...

Not sure how you can be running two games at the same time and even hope to keep them straight. Either you must write alot of stuff down or you have a talent to keep two similar, but separate trains of thought coexisting in your working ...

RE: Bill Brings Banzai

<t> Not an expert on the Japanese R&D tree, but from the perspective of "what if", I would go full tilt into the oppotunity to run the Japanese economy within the game engine contraints. Historically, the Japanese were hamstrung by many factors including political, economic and philosophic. As ...

My family comes from the SW corner of WI (Lancaster) and reportedly has one of the earliest Civil War monuments on the Courthouse grounds. Apparently fund raising begain in 1862 and the monument ...

RE: Notes from a Small Island

<t> What does the "dot" base hex like southwest of Nanking? Can't you land there and avoid a direct river crossing assault into Nanking? Or, does this split your forces too much? A drive up river to the other rail line is proably really attractive as well and I would suspect that is the direction to ...

RE: The Good The Bad & The Indifferent

Canoe, if this is a feint (Singapore), why are your units in move mode in the screen shot? If you don't intend to jump the shark here, wouldn't it be more prudent to have the units in combat mode, lest something unwanted happens?
