<t> Hello,<br/>
<br/>
He is busy bombing PH, two attacks so far.<br/>
Yet I got the first kill of the war, one of his subs.<br/>
<br/>
I am afraid to send the PT boats after him, who knows what might happen...<br/>
They fire 4 torpedoes , score 5 hits and sink 6 carriers[:D]. And then restart ...

Somehow, i doubt that mc3744 expected that [:D]

<r> Hello<br/>
<br/>
And the actual results:<br/>
<br/>
Day Air attack on Pearl Harbor , at 112,68<br/>
<br/>
Japanese aircraft<br/>
A6M2 Zero x 82<br/>
D3A Val x 134<br/>
B5N Kate x 143<br/>
<br/>
Allied aircraft<br/>
F4F-3 Wildcat x 2<br/>
P-26A x 6<br/>
P-36A Mohawk x 2<br/>
P-40B ...

<t> Well, we did play with house rules, no new TF and such...<br/>
I just had the rare occasion to have the carriers close to PH due to a random event and I said "what the hell...”<br/>
<br/>
I just agreed with mc3744 to keep my nuclear carriers away and not mess things up. [8D]<br/>
<br/>
So I ...

<t> Hello,<br/>
<br/>
I had to look in the manual to understand what happened to my carriers and to their location.<br/>
<br/>
Quote:<br/>
"Operation Infield: If this random opening occurs, Kimmel forms a surface fleet which he keeps at Pearl Harbor and brings both Carrier TF close to home port ...

<t> Hello,<br/>
<br/>
And he could have attacked someplace else, or set naval atack as first priority for some groups, or be out of range of his carriers, or have held a sizable CAP.<br/>
And I could just as easily lost 2 of the precious Us carriers. So there is nothing smelly..<br/>
<br ...

<t> Hello,<br/>
<br/>
I was faced with Operation Infield. I had the carriers north of PH. So I just sent them to a common hex. <br/>
No other orders, no new TF , only land movements in China.<br/>
<br/>
It was funny to see the result. I could have lost you know...[:D]<br/>
<br/>
Restart it is ...

mc3744, I understand the reasons behind your decision. If you wish to continue our game then I am all for it, it is in my advantage after all. I also accepted a restart, your call.

And remember:

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
He quit on me this time and I am not upset. The next time however I will be furious.<br/>
So I developed two strategies:<br/>
- The first one is to allow him to win something in the early months [:'(] (this should not be too difficult) before wiping out his fleet;<br/>
- The ...

<t> Actually, we already agreed on a restart and I am waiting for his first turn.<br/>
<br/>
I understand that it is difficult to loose the war in 4 days and go on. He did loose some other things, not only the carriers, about 30 AP's ships in all and he has a ratio on 1:1 in aircraft losses with ...

And I was so looking forward at invading Tokyo in 1943. At least one should play and give the opponent the chance to have fun. It's all laugh and fun as the Japanese till someone looses an eye... [:D]

<t> Yes, I guess I did.<br/>
Yet you allowed that, the attack by KB on Soerabaja without any fighter escort, against 100+ fighter aircraft from DEI and Singapore.<br/>
<br/>
I am a little upset by the fact that if the allies suffer horrendous losses then its ok, no problem, historically correct ...

He did just that.
I guess is hard to accept losses as Japan. Only the allies must take it and soldier on...

<t> I stumbled on his invasion force when running with the carriers from their initial positions. I actually set as rendevous for the 2 TFs a hex in which an invasion TF sailed that same day. I was lucky.<br/>
On the onter hand it was scary to see enemy TF's in your carrier rally point and wait to ...

I am willing to play and already sent you a mail.
