Red sky at morning, sailors take warning

Good luck, Zulu. It's fun to have two old-timers locking horns.

Well..not as old as Dan and CERTAINLY not as old as Michael!

The December 8 orders are out. I'm guessing there will be no comment from the empire....
I will post this week on the opening days. I will say it was aggressive and not what I'm
used to seeing. I burned out clicking on the orders for the eighth and hope I did not
forget anything critical or of high value. At this point I only have a hazy idea of how
I may react. I can say it appears there will be a concerted effort to clear the PI, Malaya,
and central China (I see movement arrows, ominous places).
Dan, I sense a veteran player across the table...
John, I feel a very aggressive IJ. I expect some of your trade mark pursuits.
Zorch, TRav, I play conservatively albeit with a hunting sense, comment at will. I will
get this thing rolling on Sunday when I have time to reflect on Mind Messings opening
moves. PH got it, I don't think he attacked one AF. Hong Kong was turned into a reef.
By the morning of the ninth he will have at least eight bases on Luzon.

This should be fun. What are the parameters of your game?

Cheers,

Will gladly watch and 'toss' in my .02 whenever.

Wish you the BEST!

Let the carnage begin.

Good luck!

Thank you sir! Interesting opening; I look forward to catching up on clicks soon. I'll get it rolling with
the air raid Pearl.

[PaxMondo]

Good Luck!!!!

Slap him with a fish!

I mean...

Beware - he likes to be aggressive with the IJN in 1942.

Good Luck!!!!

No! No! don't say that!
AARs are show biz, you jinx him if you wish that. You have to tell him "Break your main shaft" or "May your propeller get screwed off" something along those lines.

[Lokasenna]

Break a keel?

Breaking your main shaft sounds like something that could happen if your propeller gets screwed off. Anybody else suddenly miss college?

Throw a bearing!

Severe wind storms knocked out me cable, Blimey! Cable repair guy shows up Saturday and replaces our gear outside the house so we
are back on track. Why does this sh_t only happen for the weekends!!! We do have four days played now and my orders are out for the
11th. Click, click, click, click, FLEE mateys FLEE! So many miserable little tramp steamers mixed with the few high value tankers and
merchantmen weigh anchor only to be deep sixed and sent to old Davey Jones......

I try a major effort in the PI sweeping an IJ base on the eighth where it showed over thirty fighters on the ground. The P40s are shot
down in droves. The follow up from the B17s gets one on the ground and cratered the strip but over all I would not do it again.

In Malaya I hope our guys up north entrain before the IJA arrives, I'll know tomorrow. No graphics for now as I am still to busy clicking
my ass off. Truth be known, at this stage there are only ideas anyway.
