Can we see a VP screen; curious to see how the land loss equation is shaping up.

<t> A post that pertains to the recent discussion here about taking over games...I'm going to post in this thread as it gives both you and John a chance to respond. Would it be possible for the two of you to make a few saves at various points in that game once completed. It would be interesting to ...

<t> Looking back at my post from July 1st, it still looks a lot like 6th Army at Stalingrad. I do appreciate one thing though about the Pacific strategy in the real war, an invasion of China would have been a blood bath due to the numbers of Japanese troops that might have been engaged. While people ...

Merely a curiosity question; has this project gone on hiatus?

You must be reading John III's AAR. He's a half step ahead.

Respectfully negative on that! I'm not familiar with ZOC for hexes but I note your green dot is essentially surrounded by the picture with the two ...

?Is the unit(s) cut off north of Amoy? What's up there in composition?

<t> Kind of a Jeb Stuart at Gettysburg move...daring but ultimately stupid. I honestly admire those who play this game, as its akin to a Japanese fantasy in that to survive Japan either is augmented or the Allies nerfed. Sorry for the rant, I just don't get the pull in playing alternative history in ...

I have been enjoying your exploits from the sidelines as always. I've opted to function as an Allied observer only as I find the omnipotence one garners from reading both threads make it less fun for me. Having stated all of this, let me get to my message.<br/>

Q) Have ...

Have you considered taking Horn Island and Meruake? If lightly garrisoned, you could take them easily and begin to threaten the Timor sea region.

<t> Based upon the heavy fires, heavy damage statements, these carriers may be toast. <br/>

<t> Ok, I'm confused with the installation order and how things work in this series. Right now I feel like Costello in the Who's On First skit.<br/>
<br/>
If I understand this correctly, <br/>
<br/>
1. Install OOB: WW2 first<br/>
2. Install OOB: Pacific<br/>
3. Install OOB: Morning Sun ...

Time will tell! Agree, I would have invaded in early 42.

<t> Nice to see your preparations. I remain a lurker on the sidelines as to playing this game (I don't have the time to commit), but have read enough AARs to say that we've seen over the years many extended perimeter gambits. I think the problem with these gambits is that if they don't play out, and ...

I do not think the opponent is making such an obvious mistake. Thus, he must have a purpose for transporting all those excessive units to Hawaii, not reinforcing or developing the North Pacific, and halting his ...

<r> I think you'll be sending your bombers into a meat grinder at Rabaul with very little to show for it. I think even with the bleed off of KB fighter strength, your still likely to come off worse in the carrier battle. I like the alternative of hitting Lae overland while invading Bougainville ...

Well, I don´t need it for SOPAC and I have no intention of going CENTPAC. Not before 44 unless I need the VPs. And by then having PH as the Japanese is more of problem then anything else. [:)]
