Banana AAR

[Nikademus]

gangs just about all here. Took long enough


Troop fatigue is at 25% and rising (the banana is not concerned)

[Luskan]

my banana is detatchable [:D]
Sooner or later I'll add Nik to my pile of scalps (just had one opponent play 2 turns and then bail on the whole game). But want to wait a few more patches out before I start throwing down gauntlets to other testers.

[Nikademus]

bah.....the banana told me all of Luskan's secrets. Invade Japan on Turn 2....all of his units are invading India.

[:-]

[UncleBuck]

Any News?

[Nikademus]

The invasion fleets are have (finally) linked up with the surface elements. Expect the invasion to begin tonight.

Next stop.....Washington DC!

[UncleBuck]

I wonder if the Rocky Mountains ahve those impenetrable red lines through them?

[Nikademus]

no stinkin red lines are going to stop the Banana from getting to Washington. Heads are gonna role.......skins are gonna be peeled.

[Nikademus]

The Banana is NOT pleased! Heads will roll after the successful conclusion of this operations!!!!!

[Nikademus]

The Allied player is now "fairly confident" that the Japanese are going to attack San Francisco. Measures are being implemented. the 41st INF division has been given orders to proceed to the city.

here is the current status....a new FORT level has been achieved.....will it be enough?

[Nikademus]

NEWSFLASH!!!!!

JAPANESE TROOPS HAVE LANDED ON US SOIL!!! HIDE THE WOMEN AND LOCK UP THE BOOZE!!!!

USAAF crews took one hell of a beating trying to stem the tide of invaders and suffered massive losses. But on the bright side....a hit was recorded on an enemy CVL and another has been SUNK!!!!

AAAIIIII!!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD!!

(I live in San Rafael, just a few miles north of the Golden Gate.)

I'm actually kinda surprised the coastal forts haven't done better. I've been to those sites. Those things were built to out-range and out-fight battleships. Even before the Nike missiles were installed. [:D]

A few comments for this enjoyable AAR...

1. Whoever was in charge of the Honsho TF should be executed (4 Claudes on CAP?! [&:])

2. Those coastal guns are not as effective as I expected either.

3. That's ALOT of troops in San Francisco!

Congrats on landing in California and now like all Japanese tourists, buy something and GO HOME! [8D]

All this proves is that Nik is a crappy player [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]
