<r> well a picture paints a thousand words so they say. Timed my support group badly and I paid for it, or should I say my poor troops did[:-]<br/>

that is great advice[:D] just a turn to late[X(]

<r> Update, finally have new opponent (mike) and I decided to hang around Pearl for a second day of strikes. Never did that before in any of the playthroughs I have done as Japan in this mod. Now I know why, 102 planes lost.<br/>
<br/>
Needless to say that hurt. Otherwise things going well so far ...

<r> Anyone have any idea why I am getting this? Could nboth players not running the same version of a mod cause this?<br/>

nothing better than an opponent dropping out after you do turn one[:(] Looking for new allied player

<t> Had an opponent but he had backed out at the last minute, my turn one as Japan is done and all I need is a committed allied player who isn't to great a player[&o] just so I have a chance[:D]<br/>
<br/>
Here is the setup and house rules we had agreed on, of course HR's can be changed<br/>
<br ...

After watching that carrier massacre earlier I have some hope as Japan in my game now. That was awesome[:D]

<r> Southern area plan. Also going to take Makin and Tarawa as per usual. Will expand from there.<br/>

<r> Well for what its worth, turn one is done (whew I hate that turn)<br/>
<br/>
Spent a lot of time moving transports to where I will need them for resources/oil. <br/>
<br/>
Pearl Harbor raid will be by 4CV 2CVL TF plus oilers. Am not expecting to sink much as in my previous games using this ...

anyone know a good screen capture program that is cheap or free to help with my AAR

tried, he is going ot pass on that. It is a lot of work if you do a good one

<t> ok here are the house rules we agreed on, am going to work on turn one.[X(][X(][X(]<br/>
<br/>
PDU on<br/>
<br/>
FOW ON<br/>
Advanced weather ON<br/>
Allied damage control ON<br/>
Historical first turn OFF or ON<br/>
Dec 7 surprise ON<br/>
Reliable USN torps OFF<br/>
Realistic R&D ON ...

I sent my revised HR to kris and if he agrees I will post them and begin the long turn one plot. Have been going over a lot of stuff regarding aircraft and supply etc, have an idea for a plan and will post it once I have it plotted on paper[:D]

Wouldn't do that anyway as it is gamey to me (am a big history buff and do try and play somewhat historically) But I do like the full unit invasions, as that what i would do anyway.

Most dot bases I wouldn't invade anyway, as it takes godawful long time to make them into anything, and Japan doesn't have enough good engineers to spread around, but you never know what you may want to build in this game and I have never gotten to endgame.

This is why I am asking for feedback[:)]

<r> Well, I have finally decided to start a new campaign and try an AAR. Have been playing BTSL for over 2 years as Japan trying to learn the complexities of Japan. Krsihub1492 has accepted a challenge so we will be starting soon. Having been so long since I had a new opponent the house rules are ...

are you still interested in playing this, I have played 2 games with this as Japan (one ongoing) and I find it a blast. Am not a great player by any means but am willing to give Japan a go again if you like.

Log in every day just to read this thread, fascinating stuff.[&o]

Good advice, but so you know I didn't know that base was within range of those bombers, this is the first game I have gotten this far.....
