<t>Congratulations to Dan on big (Unconditional Japanese Surrender) win.<br/>
<br/>
Unrelenting, error free by him vs overly gung-ho mid -war action by me (PH and Australia debacles).<br/>
<br/>
Had a bad PH fists strike but still no real issue; failed to force a Midaway type battel or othwerwise ...

My three (one ex dutch) Hudson groups are now 80+ experience in ealry 1943 (game vs LST) and as he will testify are red hot at sinking IJN. 5 range is a joy.

vcr atached - you know war is over when kaga and the girls get bested by CVEs.

Apologies folks - game continues . VCR attached

You know the war is over when Kaga and the girls get bested by CVEs....

<t>yeah me - sorry all for slow posting but reallife.... <br/>
<br/>
Well I THINK I might have stalled the rush,l it is after all September 1942... sunk ratios are (IJN to Allied) ; <br/>
CVs 3:4 (but the 4 includes some RN) <br/>
CVL 0:1 (dear old Hermes) <br/>
CVE 1:0 (which is worth a CVL to my ...

<t>Beware of making making manual changes to factory production - make sure you FULLY understand the 'development upgrade paths' in the notes for version 3.2. If you do not you may decide that an aircraft model is rubbish and switch the factory to a current hot model , only to realise that the ...

<t>Well the allies are about break the 1000 barrier on sunk Japanese MCS (999 at moment), having also sunk over 100 IJN subs, 100+ AP and 120+ DD/DE. <br/>
<br/>
IJN losses = over 40,000<br/>
USN losses = 4600<br/>
<br/>
IJA losses = over 17,000<br/>
comined CW/Aus/USA losses are less than 10,000<br ...

<t>Yes - set the end of the resoultion phase (when convoys and return paths run ) to medium delay and max detail and see all the recent enemy paths - of course in 3.2 those paths are much more flexible than manual for old 2.x versions says, so choke points matter more. <br/>
<br/>
Any boat off a ...

DAN - please do not open this attachment: too much info.

For benefit of all others I offer a rare insight into the Japanese situation - please treat replies with care. The attached zip contains 'savei' files The password is spitfire.

For where you DON'T want to be as Japanese in early 1944 please see attached. Note the 3 CV TF batting off air raids form bases holding 200+ aircraft as if nothing....

<t>We bring you this latest report from Imperial Headquarters on Operation U-GO-DI <br/>
<br/>
Having carefully watched allied actions in the Solomons and noting the softening up bombardments on Rabaul we assessed that Rabaul was about to face a landing. We also noted that the Allies now felt ...

Indeed Capt H , so drastic measures were taken. See attached zip which contains startling film footage of the Battle of Rabaul. ie a savej.vcr file.

Fuller AAR post to follow.

<t>Maps and scores/losses attached.<br/>
<br/>
The allies crawl up the Solomons and not even 80+ raids of betties can stop them (not when Dan's CAP is 170+ fighters..) . IJN keeping powder dry as pointless trying anything near allied LBA<br/>
<br/>
Losses: CV ratio quite reasonable I think for this ...

try now

<r>whoops map went wriong see next post<br/>
<br/>
********<br/>
See attached for maps and scores - note the big loss number, largely from that Canal disaster. <br/>
<br/>
Oh yes and we apologise for any problems the maps might cause IJN radio tracking and sub location teams.....<E>:eek:</E><br ...

<t>In my limited experience of 3.2 on both sides it seems that allied land based air is rather too good at sinking (big) Japanese ships. Take the AARs coming out of mine game vs LST (and I had the same when playing Japanese). <br/>
<br/>
It seems that Dutch and CW crews, either with their starting ...

Dumb q1 - becuae the password system SEEMS to works on the editor(s) too ie a pbem file won't open in the editor

Dumb q2 - still dumb

<t>together with entire general staff. huge re-think in war effort... <br/>
As LST not posted I should inform a (laughing) forum that I just surrendered two US and two Aussie Divs on the Canal. If I was Japanese I would be sharpening the old blade right now, but as I am Allies I am off to command ...
