Ah, I forgot about the date restriction. Thanks.

Will an invasion of Luzon activate Kamikazes? Or has that happened already?

Heh, I loved your interpretation of that sub encounter!

Well ... at the moment, maybe. I ... heard a rumor ... that something significant may have happened a ...

<t> Congratulations for your continued progress and success against this souped up Japanese OOB. Are you to the point where you can try to set up 2 ops -- one in the South Pacific, and one toward the DEI -- with the idea that the KB has to choose which side of New Guineau and can only defend against ...

<t> That was a lot better than your massive but failed strike sometime earlier! [X(] I will be interested to see how this looks from the Allied point of view ...<br/>
<br/>
Was this really the last dance? Is it still possible for you to assemble another Kamikaze strike package of decent size? If ...

To get back to the original point of this thread, I find trying to introduce strategic wargaming into a classroom more difficult than one might think. I tried to use the orginal WITP and found that a semester was not nearly long enough to ...

ND has a very large energy production industry. Could that be the source?

Erik, many kudos to both of you for a great game and persistence right up to the end. I followed Dan's AAR so naturally stayed away from yours -- no offense meant. Suppose the game had continued. Could you have defended the Home Islands (minus Hokkaido) from a big invasion attempt?

Ah, sorry, I didn't remember where you dropped them. [:o]

That's a great testimony to the job Erik has done holding his air defenses in solid shape. If we extrapolated this game to real life, I imagine the ultimatum to Japan would be: surrender or Tokyo gets nuked.

It is impressive that the Japanese have held on so long, against pretty much the rest of the world. It will be interesting to hear their side of the story once the official end comes.

You could stretch it out a few days with another big raid over Tokyo ... [:D]

... put the Yamato out of my misery.

Not how this is usually put, but I like it better this way! [:D]

<t> The Chinese have a lot of people. They can afford an occasional bloody battle as you had.<br/>

I am curious to see how your Kurile campaign will go. In my game I didn't go there until very late (March 45) and by then, the Japanese Kamikazes had been in operation for a long time. I took ...

PBEM games usually take 5-6 years minimum to play through ...]

Possibly a lot shorter against a human ironman! [;)]

Sweet! I don't think you planned the Lingayen move on the basis of a supply grab (or did you?), but that is certainly a nice bonus!

<r> I'm puzzled about the "fragments" HR. I <I><s>[i]</s>think<e>[/i]</e></I> I see the sort of gamey things it is intended to prevent.

<t> Kudos to you for sticking it out to the bitter end. Next time, be careful where you ship the sushi! [:D]<br/>
