A bold new experiment!
I'm currently in the last three months of gameplay with Drex (me as Japan and him as Allies) for a long game and I'm ahead in points. Since we're both in uncharted waters -- and I doubt many other players have gotten this far -- I thought I'd write about the last few months as a AAR.
I was thinking about the best way to do this when the thought occured to me.....rather then try to explain in long winded details what was going on, why not just offer the game file for download? I'd give my password so even lurkers could see what the overall situation from the Japanese side was, and I'd post enough here so people who did'nt want to download it did'nt have to. I don't believe it's been done before! Also that way it will help people understand things as they are happening, especily if Drex is too busy to post here.
Only one catch -- I'd have to get Drex to swear on his family name and every other good thing in the world NOT to cheat. I asked him in e-mail, explained what I wanted to do, and he gave the go ahead.
So......the first file and story so far has been posted in the AAR area.
One major request! You are free to make comments on here, offer advice, etc. based on what you see in the game file, but remember that what Drex knows about my forces are limited! He knows a lot (I'll say what I believe he knows in my first note) but he does'nt know, for example, what I have docked at Rabul or the number of troops in PM. PLEASE do not post classified info from what you see in the game file. Make sure what ever you post is vague enough in talking about my forces that it does'nt tell Drex anything he does'nt know.
