Looking to play the DBB Guadalcanal game as Allies...
now, I have NEVER EVER won a game , so I am looking for an opponent who
has an similar skill set...(or slightly better) I just dont want to be stomped
I can probably average a turn a day...

<r> I am playing stock Guadalcanal game...<br/>
game is now in the first week of October..<br/>
I have my Bettys in Rabul and Truk on stand down<br/>
zero training...<br/>
<br/>
however, the last 2 turns they have launced without escort over PM and have been shreaded..<br/>
any idea of why ...

<t> All -<br/>
my opponent brought up something 'strange' in his Tracker<br/>
regarding my (Japanese) points<br/>
Stock Guadalcanal<br/>
PBEM<br/>
current update.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Aug 15 turn<br/>
Allies have Tulagi and Lunga<br/>
Japan has<br/>
255 Political Points<br/>
21 bases ...

ok.. thanks for that info...I appreciate it..
tough to plan for amphib TF until I get lots of political points.

Playing a game of Guadalcanal, stock scenario
and about 20 turns in, question is.. how do the infantry units get out of
"R" status... is it just using political points, or is there a time they are no longer "R"
(I assume that means reserve)
any help is appreciated.

<r> Well I have yet to win a game against a human player.... maybe I should play a gorn.<br/>
while it totally stinks getting beat like a screen door during a hurricane, I still enjoy it..<br/>
that is until I have no fleet left...<E>:)</E><br/>
maybe we should have a 'losers' bracket that will ...

<t> well game over... my hat off to my undefeated opponent Joe.. a class act all the way<br/>
I played well (considering) but, learned a ton....<br/>
thanks to Joe and the folk who commented<br/>
<br/>
end result a decisive Japanese victory<br/>
I never took Tinian.. although I blasted the ...

<r> Hello my followers...<br/>
well while I learned some valuable lessons in this one, I took notes from my opponent<br/>
and from my followers (thanks !!) I still fight on..<br/>
I will lose the game.. still in a fight for Tinian and Pagan...<br/>
I deliberate attack for a few turns.. then ...

<r> update time..<br/>

I continue to land at Tinian/Pagan and soon Saipan<br/>
my CV TFs tore up his aircraft from unknown locations<br/>
CAP and LRCAP did the damage thanks to the advice of my followers.<br/>
<br/>
The ...

<r> Update time... well not the best of turns...<br/>
my amphib landing at Pagan was smoked out of existence by his BB TF..<br/>
although my CV TF was to provide cover, they missed the boat (no pun intended)<br/>
amphib minus cover vs BBs = goodbye to the invasion <br/>
also amphib at Tinian was ...

<r> hello fans (or curious followers)<br/>
well, still unloading at Tinian... my amphib TF got lit up by the bad guys...hopefully they had too much saki.<br/>
but my LRCAP from my CVS also chewed up his airgroups... thankfully.<br/>
<br/>
as you can see from the pic.. the next few turns can ...

<r> hello followers<br/>

however, summer weekends are tough <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>

my CVs are still supporting the landings<br/>
<br ...

<r> hello again my faithful followers <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
finally a stroke of luck for the good guys.<br/>
still landing at Tinian, but this time my CV TFs LRCAP participated in the turkey shoot.<br/>
to quote my friend and opponent.<br/>
" I sent a couple squadrons on short range to hit your ...

<r> bad day at the office...<br/>
while I had a few CVs lurking near Tinian to provide air cover ... a few other went to various ports to refuel/re-arm.<br/>
with that being said, landings at Panape, Pagan and Tinian continued.<br/>
my amphib TF at Panape encountered a IJN CA but that was fine ...

<r> Hello again -<br/>
<br/>
quiet turn for the most part.. .I had a sub put 2 more fish into CV Junyo West of Tinian.. one for the good guys..<E>:)</E><br/>
but my sub sunk by his escorts.. Capt. will get a posthumous medal for his service.<br/>
<br/>
landings at Tinian continue, while I also ...

<r> Hello again to all who follow..<br/>

but... not much action...<br/>
I had a sub put a fish into CV Junyo east of Tinian...hope it stuck his rudders...<br/>
