Morning tithe. Cant believe its Thursday already. [X(][:D]

Welcome back to the "job" world ... [;)]

Look whose talking. You dont work, youre in the military. [:'(]

Jokes aside, I'm loving it so far. Besides learning the ropes and the systems, I'm trying to curb by exuberance to avoid appearing unnaturally enthusiastic. [:D]

Sorry for overreacting yesterday. It was the ass-end of an ass-end of a day, and I was not a happy camper.

Welcome back , O prodigal one! Yuri's rounding up a calf! [:D]

Seriously Kristan, I hope that things are better for you.[:)]

Couldnt find a calf. I got a chicken. And I'm having its breastuses for dinner. [:)]

Good move. Gotta support the industry. [&o]

Very well played! [&o][&o][&o] Still seems a suprise that my forces , despite sighting you 1st (via RADAR) and being evenly matched , came off so badly.[&:] Lesson learned! [:D]

Thank you kind sir. My take on advantages is as follows:

1. I had Tanaka [&o] as my TF commander. What was your commander's Fetchmyslippers' naval and agressive ratings?
2. You had just finished bombarding the p*** out of Attu when I caught you. I would bet your CA and CL AP ammo. was low from the onset of the surface shoot out. There's also the issue of the 'bombarding disadvantage' when such a TF is caught by one intent on surface combat.
3. You did get the first shot after RADAR identification. However, your CA's first salvos were ineffectual, thus remitting any bonus conferred by said ID.
4. Early salvoes from my CAs selectively hit your fire control centers-particularly on the Santa Fe. I would venture that this rendered her command center a charnal house aflame.
5. Long lances make a mess out of damaged light cruisers. [&o] I believe that Kiso provided that kindness. [&o]
6. Don't know why the allied torpedoes failed to score. IIRC, Nachi scored with 3 TTs against Wichita herself.
7. CA Maya was dealin' it with her 20cm guns. Penetrating hit after penetrating hit after penetrating hit. Working up and down the line. Her gunnery was something to behold. The allied reprisal was muted by comparison, but Maya got into the action a little later than the others.

I don't know my commanders ratings , but they should have been good. His name was Raymond Spruance. He survived , but I fired him. I've been having a problem with him, he doesn't seem to like to fight. In a match against the AI he had 3 CA's 2CL's and 6DD's and he went up against a AK. He ran. Three times he refused to engage. Full of fuel and ammo, lot's of op points. [&:]

Thanks Simon. That matches my assement totally![:)]   BTW , is anyone currently doing a WPO scenario? [&:]

I was very excited about WPO myself at first. Then the more I saw peoples reaction, the more I got the impression that strategically and game-wise it was not a success. My impression was that there is a flurry of activity and a bloodbath of violence in the first few months which turns into boredom and inactivity. So I never bought the game.

Once again , I like the shorter scenarios. The long ones are , well long. And they draggggggggggg............[:D]
