<t>The photo of Admiral Crutchly which Emporer Devada has attached, appeared on the front page of every newspaper in Australia. It was a very clever ruse by Prime Minister Curtin, to divert public opinion away from the slaughter of the sixth and ninth divisions in Bribane last week......Rommel was ...

Roosevelt's Failed Strategy

<t>At the beginning of the war, Rossevelt's strategy was clear.....Germany must be defeated first.<br/>
<br/>
Consequently, the orders to Halsey and Mcarthur, were to delay as much as possible in 1942, and wait for a decisive battle in 1943 when Hellcats and better army units are expected to be ...

Thankyou

<t>Thanks Captain,<br/>
I have windows 98. I completely deleted autoexec.bat and config. sys, a few lines at a time. That succeeded in booting the game when got up to 590K of free memory, but I kept getting "cannot find file" messages when executing. After lots of other trials, I reloaded the game ...

Some dumb questions

<t>First dumb question:<br/>
What prevents a PBEM scenario from being edited by either one of the players, to give increased power or experience to the combat units of one side?<br/>
<br/>
Second dumb question:<br/>
My computer died and the hard disk was reformatted. I also had 256meg of RAM added ...

to endure the unendurable

The Allies have offered an honourable peace...all they require is that the Emporer says he is sorry for Pearl Harbour.<br/>

Tokyo Invasion

<t>The six Japanese divisions defending Tokyo, had their readiness reduced from 99%, to between 21% and and 33% BEFORE the first wave of invaders even hit the beach...the allied bombardment was just awesome in its power and duration.<br/>

Despite this loss of readiness, the Tokyo defenders ...

November 1945

<t>A bloodbath in Nagoya....four Japanese Divisions with half strength squads, without tanks, without guns, experience in the low 50s, defending against 13 fully armed allied divsions, who are supported by uncounted aircraft and bombardment fleets.....a hopeless fight, but every week that they hold ...

Nagoya has fallen

<t>The four divisions defending Nagoya were reduced to an average readiness of about 40 by the most intense bombadment in the history of warfare, and they finally surcumbed to the combined might of about a dozen Allied divisions.<br/>

There must be around 25 Allied divsions in the homeland now ...

Nagoya

<t>Allied forces landed in Nagoya, but were met by four entrenched Japanese Divisions, who were motivated to defend their homeland. Odds zero.<br/>
<br/>
Unfortunately, even with these odds, it is impossible to inflict serious casualties without tanks or guns.<br/>

No nukes needed

It is end of August 1945, and no nukes have been delivered.....but that is hardly necessary. For example, last week the Emporer lost 35,000 loyal subjects to a single carrier raid on Aomori.
Maybe the a bomb cant be used if there are no factories left to destroy?

IJAF

<t>The Japanese airforce is making a surprizing good comeback, paradoxically because of the shortage of re inforcements. They cannot be commited to full battle every week, so they have plenty of time for training, and the air groups are not losing experience by adding raw pilots....of course the ...

A most bizarre battle

<t>Tanaka was reported on his way to Argentina, to pick up Nazi scientists. This was actually a cover story for the real reason Tanaka was going east......he had no fuel for the run past the allied subs, carriers and airfields in Australia.<br/>

without so much as damaging an allied vessel.<br/>

<t>Defeat of Japan is still possible, I think. If Devada keeps on inflicting casualties at the current rate, he only need to take about 20,000 to 25000 contol points off the Japanese score, add these on to the Allied score, and I think it will be close to 2:1 by end of 1945.<br/>

RIP Mushashi

<t>Mushashi already had 22% damage from numerous hits by 500lb, a couple of 1000lb and a 2000lb bomb. She scored a couple of 18" hits in return , on an Iowa class I believe, but no damage was visible on the Iowa.<br/>
