The Gorn Supremacy; stock AW1Steve v. geofflambert

[geofflambert]

OK, OK, that didn't do it for you. How about this?

[witpqs]

Better!

[1EyedJacks]

Do Gorn slow down in the winter due to the colder temperatures? I'm just wondering when the action is gunna start? [;)]

BTW - I do appreciate some of the pictures you provide for entertainment. I'd say you have a good eye for beauty but it looks kinda like each eye-socket has about 47 silver eyes in it. Do Gorn have vision similar to flies?

[geofflambert]

I haven't discussed what to do with AMC surface raiders. In some ways they are like subs except they can't submerge and hide. I'm not going to tell you what I do with them, not because I'm hiding anything from Steve, but because I still haven't figured out what to do with them. Whatever it is it will be dastardly evil and something he shall never forget.

Yeah, and eat your heart out. Remember it's not winter south of the equator just now. If you think I'm sluggish now just wait.

Does this mean you importing warm, bottled tropic air just now? Isn't that kind of gamey? Bottled air wasn't available in 1941. [:-]

[geofflambert]

Darn it, gave away another clue to Steve. I'm mostly operating in the Southern Hemisphere, preparing to invade Antarctica.

Some of them have larger airgroup support than others and / or can be converted to something useful (IIRC, AK or AP) for amphibious operations. Others have pretty decent speed and armament. They're not all the same 'value' to keep. Use some of the more borderline AMCs as surface raiders. Keep and convert those that provide value beyond the limited raider.

In any case, your 'happy time' for AMCs will only be a few months at the outset. I'd consider sending them where you think lightly escorted supply or fuel convoys are going. Pago Pago, Christmas Island, Tahiti, Suva, or somewhere on the path to EnZed would be points to ponder for an early war Allied supply / fuel dump.

[geofflambert]

When I was still playing Allied one of my opponents sailed two of them straight into my carrier force (3 at the time in January I think) not far from Christmas Island. That was the end of them.

[geofflambert]

Just reporting I'm still slogging through the first turn. Soon.

Soon.

Geologic time? [:D]

Just kiddin, takes effort to get that first turn all set up [;)] I wouldn't relish it.

[geofflambert]

Geologic time is delineated mainly by asteroids and comets falling on your head. I hope to get this thing going before the next time. Doing a lot of stuff that could wait, but just want to get it out of the way. Setting up ship conversions e.g. I am going to wait some on most production stuff til later.

What's to say? We agreed to face off in this grudge match before Christmas. I am beginning to suspect that I'll be in either a nursing home or the graveyard before I ever see a turn. Scientist tell us that dinosaurs were not really slow. This one is slower than anyone in a old Harry Hasenhouser film. He moves with a Brontesaurian dash speed. While I intend to possibly use delaying tactics , I'll at least use them IN THE GAME , not to delay the game it's self. I expect that if Geoff could figure a way to delay by discussing the size or shape of the negotiating table he would. So instead of engaging in pseudo trash talk encompassing Italian movie stars , bad literature or photoshopped movie and TV stills, I'll go back to studying the maps , AAR's and game databases. The longer he delays , the better prepared I'll be. [:D]

Quit harassing the Gorn, he is a sensitive being. [:)]

Someone said it takes 100 hours for the Japanese first turn. I believe them.
