Who was the poor bugger that you were playing and how far into the game did you get?

[wobbly]

Wasn't me! I haven't given up.... yet

Ill leave the honourable gentlemans name anon, as he displayed all the desirable attributes we all look forward too, reliable turns, understanding when E mail glitches occurred, and very funny name calling and threatening.
we only got about 2 months in, interestingly wobbly, I used the exact same master plan on him as failed so far against you, a very very quick grab of PM,GG, dobadura and buna, and lunga, which saw heaps of A/C caught on the ground at PM, plus regiments lost.
His CVs came out to play, we exchanged strikes, he lost 1 sunk, the other basically out of the war, I had 1 damaged
I cant remember too well, but several nasty surface actions, and my CVs staying in the area saw quite a few CAs and DDs sunk trying to support PM

He invaded Rennell Island, 2 regiments, and again lost heavily, even as this happened I took espirito and was well into Lunganville, when his reinforcements 2CV,6CA turned up, only to get sunk straight away.

I think He surrendered more in shock than anything
Anyway, he is a very good fun opponent, and we are going to swap sides, so I can show him how the Allies should do it:D

Personally I think it was one of those games where I had all the luck, plus some.

Bah, no reason not to post his name. No shame in losing an honourably fought game.
