RE: AK -> AR?

I just had a look at my game. The 5000 unit AKs, disbanded in Osaka, have the conversion options.

RE: AK -> AR?

I don't think so. I'm playing Japan in a CHS campaign and am building a few ARs. They need to be disbanded in Osaka.

RE: OT: Dunkirk the Movie!

I should put emojies where I intend a joke. No, we're used to foreign stars absolutely butchering the Aussie accent. I think the spelling of the name itself would give a clue that our man Coburn is American. I suspect an ancestor would have called himself Cockburn.

RE: The Game Map

<t> It would have been impossible to build a rail line or even an all weather road across northern Australia during the war. The distance, remoteness and climate combined to make any such project a non-starter. We only got a sealed road across the north in the 1970s and large swathes of that are reg...

RE: As IJN sub commander : i feel good , so good

I'm wondering about the PoW. If you used the historical deployments, given the date, she must have been sunk by one or both Kongos. If so, that was a huge achievement. Or did you send the stronger BBs to the NEI with the first turn jump?

RE: Veteran Player needs some advice - No Hooper!

I just wonder is it time to find a new opponent or play different sides. The underlying economic, military and geographic features push both sides into strategies that are predictable. Can't be helped. The historic actors only had one go at it, but the game gives us endless opportunities.

Hi Honda
Yes, you're right. It's a sorry state of affairs. I'll take you on. I have never been successful in sending PMs or e-mails through Matrix, so can you send me either and we'll take it from there.
