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

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

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]

OK, let me get it installed this weekend or tonight. What are your thoughts on NikMod?

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. [&:]

Isn't Spruance a carrier commander?

Cruiser commander turned carrier commander through a strange confluence of circumstances involving Halsey getting a weird rash. [X(]

Welcome back!


BTW, at least you don't have imprint of a motherboard on your forehead like me... [8D]

Hows it going Johnny Mnemonic? [:'(]

Started to think and talk binary... [8D]


Leo "Apollo11"

I dont think you can blame the motherboard for that. I once knew two programmers who would have conversations in code so no one would understand. [:)]

So you saw the movie too? [:D] There was a lot less concern at the time that a carrier commander be an aviator at the time.Halsey got his wings in his late 50's with the promise to Pensacola that he'd never come back or fly a plane again! I don't belive that Fletcher was an aviator. And with all the CV's and CVL's and CVE's rolling off the production line , they would have been hard pressed to give everyone and every TF an aviator with the approriate experince and seniority.

The back is improving , and is no problem if I move relatively slowly.Thanks for asking! [:)] My backside has never had a problem , despite Chickenboy's claim to the contrary. [:D] One robin does not make a spring , and one minor victory (his only one thus far) does not win a war. OK , so he killed two of my cruisers. We are still very close in points and I've only just begun to get my heavy units,troops and amphib ships. I expect CB will be very quiet about our PBEM for the next couple of turns! [:D]

Gnarly would be a synonym for righteous, and an antonym for bogus.  [:D]
