My AAR thread has been hijacked by two Euro-dips. Please page Triumph the Insult Comic dog to deal with these two Star Wars nerds who've never laid eyes on a female of the species.
While i'm always interested in seeing different ways in which Photoshop can alter the appearance of reality, i'd still like some advance warning before you send it so that i can be sure the contents of my stomach are empty. [:)]
Ahem ... can we have some actual AAR details? Where did those shell hits on the IJN DD's come from--strafing? And what does the line-up at Clark Airfield look like?
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?

-Nagumo: Any news on the location of the #@$$#@#@@@%&** who attacked our defenseless Tanker?
-Yamaguchi: No, and we are running out of fuel. It´s unlikely that they will be sitting close to here just waiting for us. Don´t remember that the enemy saw us yesterday, close to Singapore
-Genda: Hmmmm...actually I´ve just received a message from one of our E13A´s. They saw a few enemy biplanes about 100 miles from here, they are coming from East.
-Nagumo: Maybe this is a bug. Didn´t Nik introduced some WPO features in his database?
-Genda: No, our pilots indentified the planes as being British Swordfishes, similar to those who hit our Tanker, these planes aren´t in WPO database.
-Yamaguchi: Is the enemy attacking us with biplanes? What about the escort?
-Genda: The report doesn´t mention escorts
-Nagumo: Well, we can prepare them a welcome reception, and then...aren the bombers fueled and armed?
-Genda: Yes, but I suggest to launch more fighters before we bring the bombers to the deck, remember what unescorted bombers can do...didn´t you read "Shattered sword"?
-Nagumo: "Shattered sword", what is that?

CLEARLY the loss was no fault of my own since once again KB scored way too many hits due to a flawed model that does not represent the intrinsic truthism that makes top heavy CV's with big tripod masts hard to hit due to overwhelming ugliness.
