<t> Hello Michael, [:)]<br/>
<br/>
I've been waiting for a while for you to make up your mind about playing with me!<br/>
I guessed you were too scared [:D][:D][:D]<br/>
<br/>
Anyway I'd like to stick to stock, scenario 1. I don't have the time or the inclination right now to learn a new one ...

No one??

<r> I’m looking for an experienced player as I believe I am. I do not recall (but my memory might be selective [;)]) losing a match with the Allies in UV, WitP or AE (although I did recall losing with the Japs!).<br/>
<br/>
I’m also looking for someone able to play an average of 10 turns/week ...

Excellent! [:)]

Thank you guys [&o]

<t> Quick question<br/>
<br/>
My opponent (Japan) switched the combat animations OFF while preparing the first turn.<br/>
Is it possible to switch them back ON while in game or do we have to re-start?<br/>
I'd like to know before investing countless hours in the first turn [;)]<br/>
<br ...

<r> There are a few of things I don't get.<br/>
<br/>
1) What's the difference between having a "copy" of the directory and simply re-installing the game from the CD and then upgrading it with the original patch (which is what my opponent did)? If anything it should actually be even better. Good ...

<t> Hello Chikenboy [:)]<br/>
<br/>
I'm certainly not going to shout at you, I did ask indeed [;)]<br/>
It's a good point. I'll keep in consideration and forward it to my opponents when they want to upgrade [:)]<br/>
On the other end how can I know that it's the patches and not something wrong ...

<t> We used the latest official patch and it worked for several turns, then it stopped working.<br/>
It's not an issue related to the "kind" of patch, or to the upgrading procedure.<br/>
<br/>
Matrix says: "start a new game".<br/>
I'd like to be able to continue the one I started months back.<br ...

<r> I had PBEM running for a some months and we got to May '42.<br/>
My opponent (Admiral1) and I kept upgrading the game as the patches came out, to our complete satisfaction. [&o]<br/>
<br/>
A few turns after the comprehensive patch he could no longer read my turns (while I could still read ...

<r> Hello<br/>
I'm an experienced WitP (and UV) player but I played so far only 1 PBEM with AE (my opponent bailed in 10/42).<br/>
I have one other slow moving PBEM ongoing (I always play the Allies).<br/>
So far I've only played scenario 1, I <I><s>[i]</s>might<e>[/i]</e></I> consider 2.<br ...

<t> Bomb Efate's port from Noumea. Just a few bombers would be enough to build up enough damage to stop (or greatly slow down) the airfield build up.<br/>
Especially given Japanese building capabilities.<br/>
Without airfield Efate will slowly become a trap for the troops stationed there, more of ...

<t> Hi GBL, welcome back! [:)]<br/>
<br/>
Can't you get a couple of A-24 Banshee squadrons to Noumea? They can prove a great disincentive to Japanese CVL. [;)]<br/>
They are certainly not very effective due to the initial low experience, but just 1 bomb on deck is enough to create a very unhappy ...

[:D][:D][:D]

<r> The picture actually says Merry Xmas (Buon Natale) [;)]<br/>
<br/>
But it's a very cool picture [:)]<br/>
Love the SIAI Marchetti [8D]<br/>

A great New Year's Eve to everyone!! [:)]

And thank you to all of you for all the help and support provided daily on this wonderful forum!

<t> With regard to Northern Australia, I find Babar (small island north of Darwin) an excellent defensive position. It's 8 hexes from Darwin which means that can be reached at night by the Repulse or PoW and any CA/CL based in Darwin and it is within range of DBs from Darwin too.<br/>
Once the ...

About time! [:D]

If a Japanese player really wants Ceylon, it's his. Only later can you make it too costly.
<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
<br/>
Yes, if he REALLY WANTS it. But that means he is not taking something else.<br/>
But I agree, you cannot hold it IF ...

<t> The 11th rebuilding sounds good [;)]<br/>
I mean with the 11th you probably go up to 500 to 700 assault points.<br/>
Which - very approximately - means that he needs at least 3 full divisions to kick you out. And until he does you hold the airfield and port and are much closer to a supply ...

<t> I respectfully disagree[:D]<br/>
<br/>
If you hold Ceylon you also interdict any real possibility of attacking Western India and even Madras is within range. And attacking central Eastern India without control of Ceylon is much more dangerous if you are Japan.<br/>
Why would you say that the ...
