Alfred - hands down.

Never met a AE question he couldn't definitely answer...

How's his eye contact?

Even the dogs have chauffeurs in Newport Beach.

I wonder how many men SG junior has driving her around Greece? They're very nice over there to blonde SoCal girls, I'm led to believe. I'm sure she's in good hands, no worries.

How isnt this game over yet?

I guess that old yarn about "if you ignore it, it'll go away" is so much stuff....[8|]

Oh, you are so off our Christmas card list now.

We are trying to win but they started fighting back.

Long Island Ice Teas are SO yesterday. Now you need to try a Nuclear Long Island Ice Tea...patent pending. Has Uzo, and Blue Curacao in it as well, it sorta glows & sparkles in the dark if there are black lights on.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

What is the VP point differential? Is this a matter of January 1944 and a required differential of 3:1? Will Oki take you over the top? Or will victory require strategic bombing points?

We are not even close. The strategy of bypassing bases and major LYB troop concentrations means we don't gain much in the way of victory points.

And the idiot staff flunkie who lost 12K Anglo troops at Lingayen didn't help very much either. There are at least 140K LYB's trapped on Luzon and 100K trapped in Oz and Dobo but they are still alive.

I think, however, the situation is bad for the Shinto Boys. We have seen no opposing carrier for some time. The surface raids are reduced to DD's and CL's and spectacular numbers of Bettys have been destroyed. Oil delivery to the Home Islands is apparently not coming via the South China Sea.

Pretend I don't know how strategic points work. [:)]

At some point, just from the standpoint of game enjoyment by both sides, it might be appropriate to suggest a peace treaty, but right now we are running short of uncommitted ground troops. We have restricted divisions still in Hawaii and the West Coast but we are a bit shore of points to activate them. [:)]

If they have 50K Emperor-brand Kool-aide drinkers on Okinawa we will have to wait.

Shinto boys are still ahead 42K to 33K ... you all have a ways to go ...[8D]

As I read AAR's not many games get to the point where the Allies start reducing Japan to ash .. but when they do .. and When the LB's start strategic bombing ... not only do you get the side effects of reduced industry like Aircraft factories that do not research or produce ... but each attack on the Home Islands that destroys industry also gains strategic points in the form of VP's ... A LOT OF VP's can be gained this way ...

Radier vs. Greyjoy if it played out would have been such a demonstration .... B17's and B24's bombing from Sapporo cannot be a good thing for the IJ .. lots of stuff within fighter/bomber range..

I did note that the IJ have gained some VP's by attacking industry ...Does the land of Oz accumulate strategic VP's for the IJ?

JJ did bomb something in India once. That is probably where the 60 points came from.

An Arried level 8 airfield at Naha and a fighter strip at Amami Oshima would also be a disaster for Kyushu.

That sounds intriguing. It's a close relative of the Darwin Antipersonnel Bomb(Crème de Menthe, Guinness and Irish Whiskey [Protestant or Catholic]). This particular crowd pleaser has not been invented in WWII(c), as I recall.

I don't know any places around here with black lights. Wait, check that. We have one at work to check for skin fungus.

No turn yet. < Sigh>

Stalker Girl has her own stalkers at work. 3 of them. The Mexican janitor. He says sweet nothings like, "Joo are a bery beeuuutiful lady". Then there is the security guard in the ER. The guy claims to be a Viet Nam vet but seems waaaay too young. He is bat shit crazy. All the nurses have blocked him on facebook.

Then there is one of the surgeons who told SG, "I have SPECTACULAR junk" (spoken with a Georgia accent). [X(] Turns out this is a she-surgeon. We had both thought it was simply bragging but have now discovered it really was like throwing a sardine on a hook.

Why such umbrage? One side clearly didn't read the script. Another side clearly didn't read the manual. Sounds like a perfect match to me. [;)]

Who is trapper and trappee on Luzon still seems a matter of conjecture, kind sir. How many BWBs are on Luzon now?

Alright. The expurgated version: bomb or capture **** of strategic value. Get points.

BWBs="Big White Bastards"?

We have 37th ID, 8th Aus, 7th Aus (1/2 strength), 4 USMC regiments, 2 US Army regts, substantial armor and a bunch of arty.

We got caught in move mode in clear terrain at Lingayen. Of course, I blame the staff flunkies for not having good intel. I don't think the Mongol Horde in Northern Luzon can take either Iva or Vigan at this point. Manila is Mexican standoff unless they move South. We can probably take Aparri and Laoag after some air bombardment
