Anyone for a game?

<t> AW1 and BB57: I was born in Sioux Falls, SD, but spent most my early years in Sioux City, IA. Back in the day we used to play football against Sioux Falls O'Gorman (sp) and in Omaha, Boy's Town. Married my high school sweet heart and promply joined the Navy in 66 as it was my turn....third ...

But I'm somewhat masochistic. Anybody for a game? Any scenario; any rules. However I would like at least one turn or more everyday just to keep me interested.

Got a game, thanks guys

<t> Wow! What a fight!&nbsp; In the past I have tried to keep my USN CV's south east and hiding behind Noumea's air cover.&nbsp; Otherwise they can get caught in Brisbane. Plus, if the CV's do get hit near OZ, the planes are stuck there.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
One time, as the IJN, I thought I chased ...

<t> Loading problem drove me up the wall! Took days to get the troops loaded? They'd start to load, and sail with nobody embarked? Then had to send em' back to try and load again. If I landed the second wave much sooner I think the game would have been better. Not that I would have won, would have ...

<t> We're both losing massive amounts of men, planes, and ships. However, that is the all or nothing cost of trying for an auto-victory.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
Trying to land a second wave of IJN Marines in an all out effort to take Townsville.&nbsp;Re-attack took longer than expected due to loading bug ...

<t> JMHO...<br/>
<br/>
It's been said before but don't make it another WinP! Which is too invovled and too long. A good UV player can develop a turn in minutes for fast turn arounds.<br/>
<br/>
Make it possible for opposing TF's to engage if both are moving through the same hex. Right now in UV ...

<t> Couple of questions/observations:<br/>
1. I know that hexes are 60x60 miles, but it seems that two opposing surface forces moving through the same hex might engage. I have tried numerous and it seems the program will not let it happen?<br/>
<br/>
2. I find it difficult to keep a bombardment ...

Having the same problem. Have to do it 3-4 times to get it right? [:@]

<t> Yes, the Iran vs Iraq war. This was my forth deployment to the Persian Gulf. Once as weapons officer on a Knox class FF, and twice as the weapons officer on AE.<br/>
<br/>
There were about 5-6 tin cans in the gulf attached to COMMIDEASTFOR who's flagship was stationed in Bahrain. Our orders ...

I don't understand why the US damage control was off?&nbsp; They had the ability...why toggle it off?&nbsp;&nbsp; [8|]

You are absolutely correct. Look up USS Stark (FFG 31) attack in 87? And if you want to know the real truth I'll tell you. I know, as I was XO on another ship which was there at the time.l
[:(]

Nice post. Missed a few of the pennants, been along time. LOL "Uncommon Valor" [&o]

Easiest one was "Oscar" Man overboard! Had four while OOD on Tin Cans...practiced all the time, but when real, scared the crap of me!

<t> Great AAR guys thank you both. Tocaff...questions? I'm playing the USN in much the same scenario. I hold Nevea and am building it up fast with a huge infusion of Seabee's. Date is early January, 43. Both the KB and US CVTF's are undamaged, and both navy's have suffered little loses.<br/>
<br ...

RGIJN: What's your objective in this game? You in it for the long haul and hang on and win on points, or an Auto-Victory?

<r> Abe: Welcome to UV! You'll be sorry as this game can become quite addictive as you can see.<br/>
<br/>
BTW are you related to Bart? LOL<br/>
<br/>
I've played a lot of games over the last eight years or so, but am still learning.<br/>
<br/>
As you read the manual and start playing the AI ...

<t> Well the you know what hit the fan this morning. He got a little too close with his CVTF's and:<br/>
Enterprise: 7 bomb hits<br/>
Hornet: 8 " "<br/>
Yorktown: 5 " "<br/>
Saratoga: 7 bomb hits<br/>
Enterprise: undamaged<br/>
KG: undamaged<br/>
<br/>
Was amazed that the Kates scored no ...

<t> Well as you all know I'm after Townsville. I could have attacked anywhere, but thought this scenario might prove interesting, as most players as IJN hit Luganville/EPV.<br/>
<br/>
Losing some assets, but once entrenched the IJN ground forces will be hard to unwedged. So far the KB remains ...

Tocaff: Only one to beat you in an auto victory? Jeez, does that make me famous? LOL

Not sure why you have to take PM to hold OZ? Planes won't fly without supplies...I'll starve them out.
