CHS 155 team game needs replacement Allied team

[tsimmonds]

Halsey and I are IJ. CHS 155. Dec 8, 1942 (a year into the game). Allied players are unable to continue to play.

It's not really so bad. Not even 3:1 in points. Enterprise and Saratoga sunk, all other CV, CVL, CVE for both sides still afloat.

IJ controls PNG, Gilberts, Solomons, Midway, Wake, Baker, Western Aleuts to Cold Harbor. US controls Canton, Johnson, Samoa, Fiji, Luganville. Edit: previously stated US controlled Baker. This is incorrect.

Allies have Mandalay (contested), Akyab, Ceylon, OZ. Brits driving on Lashio (IJA controlled), trying to re-open Ledo Road.

IJA controls Changsha, Nanchang, Wuchow, Nanning, Ichang. KMT has Kweilin (contested), Liuchow (contested), Sian (contested).

Current map available to serious inquiries only!

[Halsey]

PDU's are off
No auto subs
Allied sub doctrine off
IJN sub doctrine on

Japanese made only historic landings on turn one.

Looking for a player for the CW, and a player for the US.
Unless the new team wishes to split its forces differently.

AB's extended map ver 6.2.

[KPAX]

I would be interested in exploring as Allied.  Can I see the map ?

[Milman]

I would like to try .

1. Does game ends on autovictory ?
2. Loses for LCU , BB , CA ? Any amph. attack by allies so far happend ?

[Vladd]

I'm one of the retiring Allied players (ran the west side of the map) and can vouch that Halsey and Irrelevant are honourable and capable players.
 
When a replacement player(s) is agreed on by all means PM me for a sitrep.

This sounds interesting. Count me in if you still need players. Been at WIP and UV forever it seems, but have never tried a team game.

[tsimmonds]

Anyone who is seriously interested should PM me with your e-mail address and I will have one of the allied players send you the most recent turn and their password.

KPAX and I would like to join forces to battle the hated Japanese Threat. I think that I will be commanding the US, Aussie and NZ forces, while KPAX will control the CBI and the Russians if you would invade! [:D]

I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PLAYING. I AM IN TWO LONG TERM GAMES NOW, ONE AS THE ALLIES IN 03/43 AND A SECOND GAME AS JAPS IN 04/42. I WOULD AGREE TO THE HOUSE RULES WITH ONE EXCEPTION AND THAT IS ON THE NIGHT BOMBING MISSIONS. I DO NOT THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE ANY RESTRICTIONS ON THEM OTHER THAN THAT I CAN LIVE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE.

Replacements found. Thanks to all who showed interest.[:)]

[Halsey]

Glad to see you guys take the challenge.[8D]

My very first game as the Japanese.
Maybe you can give me some pointers.[;)]

I'll give you the courtesy of answering your question about this issue.[;)]

The night bombing has been patched, unfortunately they forgot to fix the night fighters capabilities.
The glass is half empty.
When they fill it up, I will never use this restriction again.[;)]

Thanks for your offer though.

Due to some RL commitments, I am looking for a new partner for this game - on the Allied side. The Allied position is a bit weak, but not disasterous. I am willing to play either the CBI or the USN - NZ - Aus. I would rather play the CBI, so if you want to play with a lot of CVs and such - just ask. Anyone serious, send me a PM or email. Or answer here - please?

[Nomad]

OK, bilbow has stepped up.

[tsimmonds]

bilbo baggins, we hates it forever!!

err, I mean, welcome aboard, Bilbow.[;)]

[bilbow]

Close to the truth. "Bilbo" was taken when I joing the forum.
