Called it several days ago.[:D] (See post 51.)

Seriously, sad it turned out this way. Was looking forward to a nice long 'bloody' war. How morbid am I?[:(]

Way too late, Rusty. Alfred called it before it started.[X(]

Yes, I can claim my first call was on 31 July, post #463 on page 16. With subsequent follow up calls in posts #529 and #544. All before the first turn had been sent to Lowpe.

Actually, there is an upside.

This AAR holds the world record of pre 1st turn resolution post/page discussion. How about bookending it with a new post end world record of game post/page discussion? We could run a fantasy league of Japanese moves and get Lowpe to inform us of his fantasy counters. Imagine the "fun" of having several different fantasy turns proposed by the readership, readers voting on the winner for that turn, and then getting Lowpe to respond. At 2 day turns, why we might get this fantasy game up to the start of February 1942, with luck all the way to the end of the amphibious bonus period. Surely that would make this the longest post end of game AAR.

Your last post about the game was number 1112 for a total of 37 days which equates to how many turns? 19 turns? If so, that is over 58 posts per turn? If I am not incorrect with my math, but that may also be a record, could it not?

I still want to see Lowpe as the Allies. There must be some Samurai out there. I think it would be a great contest.

But it carries a valuable lesson for all JFBs. Do not tarry in the beginning! Strike the iron while it is hot else you are in a world of pain in the hands of a competent AFB

Also, it was a not so balanced match up skillwise and now Lowpe's is free for another game

Apparently so. Either that, or they said "Oh, Shitta!"
