not sure that switching mid game is possible

Dean is currently playing multiple games right now so I imagine he is busy.

Wow I literally took a 1 year break from this game after my previous PBEM vs deaniks fizzled out. It's good to see that your PBEM and AAR is still going strong a year later. Congratulations on making it this far and merry christmas!

Why are the carrier strikes unescorted? If they were escorted, they might be more effective. Any chance to sink at sea those American BBs now should not be wasted.

I've been reading your backlog and saw the multiple carrier strikes that went in unescorted and had to say something.

Kates with bombs at 1k feet are better against DDs and transports than when they have torpedoes. Just leave the armament to "torpedo."

Today was another close call, a small Allied surface TF bumped into the carriers which had continued on after the earlier debacle to attempt to raid shipping, as all allied carriers were accounted for. Thankfully no significant damage was dealt this time on my end.<br ...

Dont forget to also ship a healthy amount of resources back to the home islands along with the oil! I underestimated how much resources I needed and payed the price.

<t> OK so I've been on vacation in mexico over christmas, and away from my PC at home. I stopped writing the AAR a few days before I left on the 18th, because I was royally pissed off and I'll explain why. <br/>

<t> I have a question that will hopefully prompt some discussion. In what roles do you guys use your AMCs in? I'm aware that their technical role was as a surface raider or escort, but do you guys have any other useful ways of using them? I often have ended up using them as fast transports for high ...

I was both lucky and unlucky today. The bad luck was that dean was able to sneak a carrier TF north east of Rabual and get off a port strike. The good luck was that the weather was Thunderstorms, and 14 fighters showed up to defend. The net result was several DDs and ...

Dean attempted to resupply Karachi today with ships moving from the off map base of Karachi. The problem is that he had no air cover to protect them. At least some of the TF was carrying fuel for some reason and thus was easily set aflame. Movement of the Division at ...

It's been on my radar for years, so I should probably pull the trigger. Does the game hold up pretty well (I know this is a silly question considering the forum that I'm on)? How does it compare to other Grigsby titles?
