Islands of Destiny: RA 5.0 Japanese Side

[John 3rd]

Here is the current map of Sumatra with movement reflecting the two Marine Rgts getting kicked out of 45,79 and booted to the hex SW of Tand???.

[John 3rd]

That is the news Team.

I am around and working on RA 6.0 presently while I await school starting Aug 12th. If you have thoughts, suggestions, or some good humor I welcome it.

Once school starts then we shall let things settle some and then restart the game here.

Double check your leaders on Sumatra. Make sure after unloading troops that the general did not drown. [:D]

Since you have been on your hiatus, LarryF and I ressurected our AAR's in the 4.2 RA mod... We made it to Sept 42 and its definitely different than the stock model game... I am eagerly awaiting your AAR return as I have been playing the Allies vs. LarryF and I copied some of the tactics applied by CR. This is a great test bed and helps me both ways as you both are a very clever players.

I'm trying not to say anything that will affect your game, but know your literary skills are missed![8D]

[John 3rd]

THANKS! Appreciate the thoughts and am happy you guys got your game going again. Will check the AARs...

I told Dan that we'd look at restarting about August 12th and here we are. He wrote me a note asking for what my status is and I guess it is about that time. Plan to write Dan back and commit for a restart next Monday. Want to get RA 6.0 to the test phase and that should be do-able. Thought I'd Post and let you guys know!

Will speak to Dan tonight...

Excellent!

Good News. I have handed the RA 6.0 Files over to Michael for final tweaks and then he'll send them back to me. The playtesting files will then go to our playtesters and they will have 7-10 days to look for problems. Will do final tweaks and publish the Mod at that point.

In getting the files to Michael I am now open (since the hard work is now done on 6.0). Figure the BIG Southern Paddler and I can recommence this brawl sometime in the next few days. Think we'll target Monday for that. Shall email him my readiness to get back to having my A** kicked!

[John 3rd]

Came home today to a pair of PMs letting me know that Dan might want to leave AE for a while. Wish I KNEW this! Hmmmm...I just sent him an email asking what is happening...

[John 3rd]

Probably explains all the activity on his AAR over the last few days.

[Capt. Harlock]

Probably explains all the activity on his AAR over the last few days.

Actually, they've been discussing the speedy Geoduck. (You'll have to ask CR later ... [:D])

[Chickenboy]

I still think his gainsay negative response to the Cotton Rat is utter nonsense. Hopefully, CR will come around. [8D]

[moore4807]

I'm thinking CR has a AE burnout syndrome going on...

(cheeky pun) Quick is there a doctor in the forums? There must be a pill for this... [:D]

[John 3rd]

...whereas, I am filling rather charged up currently. The work on the new version of RA has been a tonic to my system. Have good feelings regarding the release of 6.0. Things are looking pretty good.

[Bullwinkle58]

So, a turn pretty soon?

[John 3rd]

Today shall see the re-commencement of this absolute disaster!

[moore4807]

Woo Hoo! Glad to hear it! [:)]

[John 3rd]

OK. We are now running the turn and are OFFICIALLY re-started...
