Hi Steven,

I don't frequent the forums these days.......otherwise I might of suggested a re-match after all these years.

Hope you're well.

All the best.

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
Due to Covid-19 I am facing a summer without work and find I have time for another game.<br/>
<br/>
I am an experienced Japanese player with over 20 PBEM under my belt....but would like to play Allies.<br/>
<br/>
I have only played the Allies once to completion and was ...

<t> I did ask Bill, our moderator, to have a look at this thread. <br/>
<br/>
I suspect he may not have had time.....but I think it is a shame that this thread has become more than somewhat politically toxic.<br/>
<br/>
I joined this community 16 years ago......it has made me laugh, enlightened ...

<t> I've been following this thread with interest from a distance....esp. since I have had Covid-19, a very unpleasant experience. <br/>
<br/>
As always with this community I have learned a lot from folks with a great deal of expertise across a broad area of subjects...the strength of this forum ...

<t> I started a PBEM with Bill just before Christmas last year.<br/>
<br/>
I can't in any way say I knew him.....but in every interaction we had in the last three months I found him a genuine human being.<br/>
<br/>
My thoughts go out to his Family and friends...….a very sad loss.<br/>

This match possibly answered two questions that might be of interest to the general community:<br/>
<br/>
1) Is it effective for Japan to play conservatively, to avoid stretching the Empire, spending fuel and supply, taking chances; to ...

<t> As the Japanese player......I would like to congratulate Dan on a well played game and richly deserved victory.<br/>
<br/>
…..and also for such an entertaining AAR....almost as much fun to read as it was to play.<br/>
<br/>
The pace of the game was blistering and great fun......although I ...

The turn I have is Stock Scn 2.

e-mail me if you would like to make a start.

<t> Hi Dan,<br/>
<br/>
I might have space for another game if you think I fit the bill.<br/>
<br/>
I am re-starting as Japan against Herbie......and so have a ready made Scn 2 first turn, so we could start as soon as you like.<br/>
<br/>
PDU on and the only interesting wrinkle is that ...

Where in China are his B=29s flying from......while you might not be able to hurt the airfield where they are based......supply is everything in China....can you counter attack by bombing supply in other bases?

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
It looks like I have time for another game.<br/>
<br/>
I have an ongoing game as the Japanese..... but my Allied game has ground to a halt.<br/>
<br/>
Really happy to play either side scn 1-2... any house rules.....stock only as all the fuss of mods stresses me.<br/>
<br ...

<t> I'm not sure you should be crying......<br/>
<br/>
You missed 1-1 by a hair...<br/>
<br/>
In China if the allies defend in Cities...... I'm always happy.<br/>
<br/>
Japan has supply and air power......and time....don't worry about false deadlines.<br/>
<br/>
Train air groups and kill ...

<t> I have had the privilege to have played both Herbie and Miller.....and I'm happy to go into bat for both of them......<br/>
I have found both of them to be fun, fair and skilled opponents.<br/>
Sometimes games don't work... for anyone of a variety of reasons....I hope they can shake hands and ...

Wow....just had a chance to catch up on this AAR.
Great scrap from both of you.
If you are worried about points......concentrate on harvesting strategic bombing points....so many to be had.
The air war over Japan at this stage is the key.....I think.

Intel received....forces on alert.....

Looks good

Also, if you want, you can give orders to Force Z and the two US CVs at sea. I never did like the insta-death of Prince of Wales.

Great......I'll try an avoid disaster....

No worries......take your time.

<r> Attack where you will.....I have no problem with that.<br/>
<br/>
I would like to be able to issue orders to the Chinese on turn 1 as they are already at war.....but no other orders issued to other Allies as they are not ....if that is OK.<br/>
<br/>
My e-mail is <EMAIL email="fabertong ...

Great.......Pick Either Scn 1 or 2......we can discuss any HRs as they arise.
Agree about port strike turn 1.....perhaps also paying PPs to move troops from Manchuria to China?
Let me know.
