Thanks.

This game was odd in that I probably made every wrong decision possible that there is to make. I played a much smarter one vs SierraJuliet in my other one.

Just hoping I don't bungle the Japanese moves like I did last time I tried this side.

Congratulations on a spectacular victory, Castor. You held on to almost everything you took and inflicted crippling losses on your opponent time and time again. Mundy made mistakes, to be sure, but an opponent's error doesn't ...

Good to see you, Mundy. Thanks for the info. I'll add it to the 1945 folder. [:D] Seriously, I haven't had any experience with them. Wonder if mines will make a significant dent in them?

Probably. I think I had 20-30 of them in each group.

I really didn't feel bad about it at the time as he had been handling me roughly the whole game.

<t> Hi Mike,<br/>

Glad you're up again.<br/>

One warning about the late war when you get to it:<br/>
<br/>
In my game with Castor Troy, I was sending invasion groups to atolls and included a bunch of the rocket armed LCI(G)s. I'm not sure how well late war things were tested in ...

I bought it originally for my debriefs in DCS. Having it work here is just a bonus. [:)]

I've found on very long ground combat resolutions, if I <ALT> tab out of the program and go back in, it's instantly over.

I had an opponent once who like to use them against me.

It was down around Samoa, before I could establish that base. Fortunately, PG Charleston was along and dealt out a lot of pain to them. [:)]

I never played WPO (although did some WITP). I might try out WPO at some point as well. <br/>
I'm not sure whether this will be regarded as illegal advertising, but if one likes pre-dreadnoughts, and ship design since early 20th century in ...

If you love pre-dreds, you'll get them in spades here.

I always had fun with it. Getting opponents was an issue for me.

Extending my reach a bit.<br/>
<br/>
B-25s headed north and struck some Japanese tankers and escorts. This was about 2 hexes west of Takao.<br/>

Welcome Back Mike.

We deal with DLA all the time where I work.

Picking up the pieces...<br/>
<br/>
Carriers have reached Pearl. I've got about 4 CVLs, 3 CVs with another on the way, and about 12 CVE present there. The Jeep carriers have all converted their fighters to F6Fs, since I have like 800 of them in the pool. Fleet ...

<t> Thanks, BB. I know you have my back. [;)]<br/>

My big convoy is about to depart Pearl. I've got lots of support troops, and lots of maintenance type ships along, including AR, AEs, ADs and ASs. I've got a 55,000 ton floating dry dock reaching Pearl in a few days, and I'll have to summon ...

Didn't think of that. Have to get one out there.

Thanks, RJ.
