<r>Now, now. Lets's not be bitter!!! It is unbecoming. I will admit luck was a factor (always is), but lets not overstate the facts. Only one carrier was damaged sufficiently to have to send back to Pearl (Enterprise), and one had to be laid up in Brisbane for extensive work, but the others were ...

<r>Game, Set, Match for Dascateer!!!! <br/>

And thank God for it. This game was entirely too close for comfort up until this point.<br/>

I was rather impressed as I saw all of those 20 mm rounds slicing through your belt and tower armor doing catastophic damage. Could not even watch all of the replay seeing that ship and all of those poor Jap sailors suffering like that.<br ...

Bravo Zulu!!! This will get ya'll at Matrix a case of beer.

<t>My, my. Aren't we cocksure. Actually no, it does not. And I seem to recall your losses being in the 40+ range for that most recent engagement as well (do your Oscars count as real air-to-air kills? Just curious.) Actually the question comes on the heels of seeing a picture of CDR Dick O'Kane from ...

<t>Has there been any thought to allowing subs to be used in a lifeguard capacity for airstrikes? Giving them a special mission and placing them in an enemy base hex during airstrikes, and allowing them to "rescue" a percentage of lost aircrew would be historically accurate and allow a player to ...

<t>Setting simple geographic boundaries would be a simple and tacitly effective method of modeling this issue. Later in the war (beyond the scope/time frame of this game) the Marines commited six VMSB squadroms to assist McArthurs liberation of Luzon. This group was a model for interservice ...

<t>Concur. In addition to the added frustration among gamers, I am not certain how anybody could realistically model such internal friction. Hard enough to do it with the tangibles, much less with the intangibles such as interservice rivalry and personality conflict (which was what much of it was as ...

Yes, Army-Navy Football is a classic!!! Pleased to note that Navy Crushed (note, with a capital "C") Army this year. Why could they not have done so in the past years which I managed to attend?

I will give you a run for your money. Fire a game up as the Japanese, as described, and send the first turn to dascateer@aol.com. Looking forward to it!!
