Frontpage News from the Pacific

[CarnageINC]

Howdy all,
Once again I'm trying pbem, this time with a friend down the street where I live, Treznor. I'm going to use the same format as I used with my aborted game with Scott1964, sorry Scott for not be able to continue on with that one. I probably will not do day to day, but instead only do major events or weekly updates.

Using Big B's extended map scenerio 192.
- No 4E bombing under 10,000ft.
- Full units for invasions, no sub commando groups.
- Treat this as realistic as possible, all disagreements will be debated about personally.
- Player defined upgrades
- No overstacking airfields.
- Any other tactics used is war, learn or die

I've decided not to move or change anything on first turn.

Let the hounds of war loose!

If only Force Z could do that well for me...but yours seems to have suffered the same fate mine always does in the end.
