Pffft...........................Dink!

Edit: [:D]

Tell that to the numerous AK/AP and other irrelevant Meatball ships you've lost in 3 months of war...PPPPPPPFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTT KABLAMMO![:'(]

And to think that over 1/2 of my subs force has been inactive from War Patrol perspective from war's start. Wait until they really get going[:'(]

So Speedy, why is half of your sub force inactive? From all the dents and holes in 'em? [:'(]

I have multiple spreadsheets, notebooks, and word documents with notes on troops, planes, etc. available. I set up OOB charts tracking which divisions are under which Corps/Army HQ. I also have another set for Japanese production. I track some other information (upgrades, etc.) in WitP Decoder. I printed out a large version of the map (24" x 36") but I don't have the room to hang it up yet.

What I really want with my next computer upgrade (soon hopefully) is dual monitors so I can have WitP open on one screen, and Excel/Word open on the other. That should make taking notes a lot easier. My computer desk isn't really big enough to put my laptop and my desktop on (my current "dual monitor" solution).

Dual monitors is the way to play.... then you can have as much, or as little electronic notes open at the same time. My problem, with four games on the go at once, is ever finding the time to think in any depth on what's going on - there's normally another turn arriving.

It doesn't make any sense, Admiral. Were we better than the Japanese or just luckier?

I have a really big corncob pipe and before each turn I recite " I have returned!"
But seriously, I do keep plenty of notes on several tablets I keep on my desk. Sure have gone through plenty of pencils.[;)]
Sometimes I read the AARs to help me set the mood.
Bah - wimps! i break the water pipes in the wall and set the room on fire whenever i lose a ship!! [:'(]

it does tend to breed a sense of caution... [8|] [:D]

Do you do that Robert, or does the money pit do it on its own?[;)]
