That's good analysis by BBfanboy. I agree that Japan starts with an advantage the narrows. In this case, it'll flip entirely once the Allied get Soerabaja's big yard.<br/>
<br/>
I'm not sure Allied damage control works any more. My past ...

A little off topic:<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
In this game there has been 10,000 strategic points scored by bombing since DDAy at Sakhalin on June 6th, 1944. <br/>
<br/>
I am not reading the Allied side, but quite frankly I almost never see a ...

Of course since my game is against the AI it can't truly be used ad an example for yours, but on the one very disappointing atomic bomb drop I made on Tokyo, I held back for the longest time over fears that the mission wouldn't get through ...

Like most house rules it was proposed in good faith to address a perceived problem but had troublesome, nettlesome, unintended consequences.<br/>
<br/>
The house rule is highly disadvantageous to the Allies. Knowing that the threat of ...

<r> I do not see how this is an over-extension on IJ's part. He removed a goodly potion of the allied naval oob with his brief raid of Portland. He has essentially closed the Indian Ocean to reinforcements from the west. Moving KB to close it off from reinforcements from the east. <br/>
<br/>
What ...

<t> This smells like a trap. Sure, if you can catch his oilers/refueling fleets it would be a considerable hindrance BUT, he has got to know what he is doing would draw a response. <br/>
<br/>
This scenario is custom made for CV battles. He could be trying to lure you into a fight with a "lesser ...

<r> My apologies, I meant landing at hexes with no base OR even a dot. NYG further up the page "1 SW of Wenchow sees a TF unloading. So, non-bases invasions are on the table for this game. "<br/>

<t> There is zero shame good sir. I think you are most wise to exit now as I think your frustrations would just increase over time.<br/>
In a short period of time you dealt with:<br/>
Uber-stack of death<br/>
Non base/dot hex landings<br/>
The magical resizing of air-groups to 75<br/>
and a ...

<t> If I may humbly propose.... <br/>
This is your mod (along with NYG). You doing an AAR not only does it go into your strategies but it also showcases your mod. Also, you can get considerable feedback. Even if you don't want feedback I think posting what is happening in the game on your end, with ...

<t> Personally I think the only thing stopping you from taking all of India and Australia (and more) is yourself. You are limiting what you take as to not take too much too soon and your opponent go "No Mas". You're in February and can take all of India, Australia, and soon China as you have posted ...

<r> I know this is humor and hyperbole but have you been watching the other game using this mod (NJP (J) vs NY59 Giants (A)) in FEBRUARY Japan has taken; All of Ceylon, most of India, All of western and northern Australia, invading Eastern Australia, and the historical stuff. So your humorous ...

Having gone to Virginia public schools in an era where answering "the Civil War" on a history test was marked wrong, and having said public school being a few miles from Hampton Roads where the battle took place, we were ...

<t> Something to ponder (*and this might be a total crap idea). You have a line of forces in China near his Army front. Even units, and especially units, that have older version of Chinese forces can all be moved up to occupy hexes with his forces. You don't have to attack along a wide front but it ...

<r> Random thoughts...<br/>
I do not profess to be an expert, just going by what you showed in the Victory Point screen a page back and that your opponent is shepperding his invasion task forces with his big Allied KB (Big Sheep Dog - BSD). <br/>
<br/>
1. The continuing sheppard-ing will make the ...

<r> Just from the outside looking in I want to explain how this comes across. You may simply not care, and that is fine.<br/>
1. You are playing a mod that gives lots of extra benefits and ships to the IJ side.<br/>
2. Like some, you keep the KB or super KB+ (with extras) all together as a hammer ...

<t> Attack vs. Lay Back?<br/>
<br/>
Reasons to Attack:<br/>
1.) Morale. Enemy morale likely is shaken. Loss of second carrier fleet must hurt. <br/>
2.) If you outnumber him in planes you have an advantage (your historical DS numbers versus KB numbers)<br/>
3.) If you have the planes and pilots ...

I am willing to do a 1 v. 1 but wanted to see if people wanted to try the 2 v 2 to allow the issues of one person being busy and #2 able to continue game while they're on vacation/busy, etc.

Any comments or suggestions? Just comparing "Hits" on this versus messages or posts.
