Name, no sure, but I believe it is Japanese.

March 27 1945

Yesterday Aussie forces started landing on Balalac Island, north-west of Banggi Island. That day the Imperial Navy seemed rather passive while their fly-boys revelled in a virtual massacre of a large group of landing craft leaving the area.

This morning, however, the Imperial Navy ...

Thank you, Terry, excellent de-briefing! Your intelligence officers may know something you don't...

P.S.: One of the APDs did actually sink but most of the crew and passengers were saved.

Sitrap March 24th 1945

Today Banggi Island was captured by US Marines after two days of all-out attacks on the ground and regular naval bombardments, mainly by destroyer-type forces, for a period. Banggi Island is situated outside the north-eastern corner of Borneo in the sound between Borneo and ...

I'm still somewhat new to PBEM and don't have this problem nearly as much I guess with the "AI" games.

As Japan, I sweep at the beginning of the game, max alt, with A6M2 and Oscar 1(variant) and get crushed, never better than 1-1 k/l ratio.

As allied, I sweep, max altitude and get destroyed. I ...

Sorry about misnoming Terry for Matt. Seems we had played for so long that Matt got stuck in my back head.

Yes, Terry, you can need some good advice now……

Fred

Thank you - appreciate it!

Hi, everybody!

I am pleased to announce that the game is up and going again. Matt, a previous opponent, has stepped up to, hopefully, help me finish it to the end. After some heroic efforts by him we have managed to line it up. We are about a week into the start-up - mid-March 1945 and we have ...

Hi, guys, after finally getting started with Rookie II again, with a new opponent, I find that ALL allied ship's types, civilian and military, have had their AA capability/capacity denomi.nator exactly halved. As an example the Fletchers show a 290 figure - normal being 580.

Having checked "ships ...

Cool project!

Fred

Good luck with your new venture…

Fred

Thank you everybody, for your support, but I have decided to close the thread. Sad but I see no other solution.

Fred

Hope you find someone. It's been a great read.


Thank you for your kind support! I have, however, more or less resigned to fact that no new opponents shall turn up, which isn't so strange considering the stage this game is in. His would necessarily have to be an uphill struggle.

Turning 80 in ...

Hi, everybody, I was not able to get Dili aboard due to disagreement on a house rule - fair enough!

So, there's still an opening for opponents who want to save the Empire from a dismal end! No house rules, though - hasn't been any for all these years. I think it has worked out fine.

Fred

Hi, everybody, I had hopes to get Dili onboard but we could not agree on a house rule - fair enough.

I shall, however, try some more but for eventual interested parties - no house rules!

Fred

Hi, Dili, I am waiting for a confirmation from my opponent. Cld we communicate on regular mail? my address is; hfjs10@hotmail.com

Tks, Dili, that would be great! Please let me get back to it tomorrow, need to coordinate with the previous opponent.

Hi, guys!

My present opponent experiences some wear and tear due to the increased complexity of the game as the war intensifies and expands. Only today he expressed a desire to be relieved of his duties if possible, due to various reasons. Here is a link to my "Rookie II" thread. Please see bottom ...

I'm on my way. Thank you!
