Hello all :
Ottawa Canada :
533pm Saturday May 14 , 2005 :

[X(][X(]Jap and German embassies coding experts were busy this week. [X(][X(]

There appears to be suspicion about the others degree of commitment and -well-lets face it....BASIC intelligence.[:@] Why Japs would want to spend scarce production on research for needless parachutists MUST be questioned.[:-]
Despite the need, a long range bomber has been assigned to fly German military advisors to Tokyo.


Game starts.

The German subs are off to a grand start.[;)]
On land, there is NO equal.[;)]
[:D][:D]Whew-ee.[:D][:D]

The horizon is boundless for the German spirit.
The troops are vibrating with excitement for the next dash.

The only sore note might be those talkative Yugoslavians.
They promise one thing, then ask for more! [:'(]

Well, no followup by my Jap busom buddgy.

A review of the first turn by all players.
hmm. The playback appears to work...going through frames...but no action
other than a little bit of movement.

Even my lonely sub in North Atl 1...remains lonely.
Perhaps the Allied player didnt see it? [&o]
newgamer i guess. doesnt believe in gifts like the Trojan war horse.

2 WA BBs in the west med with a carrier.
hmm. did i move that South Italian ftr elsewhere or is it handy?
mighty fine target - that carrier air unit.
[X(]and NO destroyers![X(] Subs WHERE ART THOU??? Come HITHER! joy joy joy!
2 BB and a lushy juicy Carrier in sight! go go go!

Central Med...ok
1 BB, 2 Dest, 4 Transport.
hmm. what happened to 3rd BB.
scrounge scrounge...oh yeah, lack of supplies left it in port . WHEW...thought it had quietly sank beneath the waters.
but what about this 3 and 1 transport. What does the 1 in lower right of the one single transport mean? think i remember seeing something about such in the rules. time to dig and TRY to find it.

East Africa remains GERMAN. How kind and sweet of my WA compatriot. I must find a means to reward that charming women typist who mis-sent(i mean re-directed) the order.
Wonder what the clerk in Australia did with it. Not to bother.

ok, 2 WA transports in Red sea.
WAIT. there are ALSO 2 WA transports in east Med.
....along with 2 WA ftrs...from where one might ask. Good question.
ENGLAND is denuded of ftrs! [&o]Go bombers GO![&o]

Egypt has one WA inf and one WA art.
I should review the setup . I thought Cairo started with only 2 MIL.
Should be a mincemeat operation with my 8 local artesans starting from Tobruk.
Those 2 extra transport though(east med). What is my opponent thinking.
Could he dare to invade BEHIND me at Tobruk after i kill Egypt.
Some heavy thinking required here...me thinks.[:-]

A lone WA sub in "North Sea" beside Britain. Something to occupy my West German
tac bomber I suppose. My Baltic 2 destroyers might join the fun. for training purposes that is.

Lazily back to news from my jap partner.
Partner?
hey, Is FREE resource center ...not EXACTLY what you are looking for.
What do i not see? measily partisans?
Looks like a whole lot of nothing in FOOCHOW and LIUCHOW.
I can understand ignoring the useless Liuchow province...but FOOCHOW does possess
a mine resource point. Oh yeah, the japs turn was BEFORE the Chinese could hastily make a gift of it. I must REMEMBER to watch my mouth (er thoughts).

well, 11:52pm midnight...and I KNOW my wife will be by to wake me up at 600am to take a shower before she gets home from her exercise gym for her shower...before we leave for work. Just hope that stupid summer bird keeps quiet. It starts chirping in the tree outside the bedroom window as early as 430am in the morning ...when the sun shines.
Devices for bird <real life>disintegration welcome.
Please advise ben6249f_at_yahoo_dot_com !

G turn 2 completed....finally
No followup from any of my opponents/partner?
Gee....this sounds like the set-up for a major FALL.

Turn 2 saw an awful lot of guns firing.(most of them German).
I suppose this is the objective.

[8D]Mimimal losses to date [8D]
Those Allied fleets in W med were/are a continuing nuisance. They are one less carrier air however. G TAC Bmbr got him![&:]

Allied sub in North Sea was soundly trashed.[>:]

[:D][:D]SCOTLAND is now learning German due to a brave commando coup.[:D][:D]
There is little hope of taking England however [:(]

The trade-off of capturing Scotland vs using the supply points to rebuild
Spanish/Yugoslavian industry was a real gut wrenching decision.
WHAT if the invasion failed! [:-]

Fall 40..turn 3 ..... May 19 935pm Ottawa Canada :
The few surviving G infantry from the company in Scotland found a convention of scientists in the locality. They were politely escorted to a holding jail in a celler of the city center for ransom.
Surrender terms were not accepted by the British coming back to Scotland in their fury...
so all sorts of grenades and such like had to be dropped in amongst the scientists.
<the multitude of Allied supplies for nefarious activities...surprised the G high command. The favourable interpretation is that no research is being pursued by the brits in their dumpling soup>

It is hoped that this great sacrifice by such a courageous G commando company will
benefit the Reich and their colleagues in far off Japan. The loss of Allied scientists should
aid in the cause to capture Australia.
The additional death of a G Destroyer and damage received by a G Ftr in support of the doomed transports in the N Sea was unexpected by planners of the Scotland raid. Several planners have been invited to explain their rationale to the Gestapo.[&:]

Otherwise, the MED is developing into a RICH target practise environment. Bomber crews are practising their torpedo abilities in anticipation of visiting the 5 local allied battleships and lonely carrier(sans airplane)

[:D]Rats scurried out of Gibraltrar to avoid the freedom being offered by G troops to the local inhabitants. Somehow...most appear to have reached Cairo?[:-]

Arrival of v 033...led participants to decide to end the game .
