PBEM from May 42: Mogami-san VS Capt. Ron

[Ron Saueracker]

Blehheim 1Fs are rated as dive bombers? Fighter Bombers? I thought they were level bombers more or less.

[Ron Saueracker]

PM always gets shut down in one turn. Same stuff is happening to Mog in the DEI at Kendari, Amboina etc. I'd like to expand PM but right now, it is too risky as invasion is very possible.

These were employed as night interceptors with radar. They may not be modeled correctly in the stock scenario. You could check the CHS scenario database, though--they might be modeled right there. In Lemurs! Scenario 15 they are fitted out with radar and listed as night fighters.

[mogami]

Hi, They are night fighters in this game as well but since I rarely bomb at night they are being used as night bombers.

[Ron Saueracker]

Can't wait to get this puppy going again! Perhaps a couple weeks.[8|]

[Ron Saueracker]

Gawd...I have not played a turn in almost two months!!! Can you say withdrawl boys and girls.[:(]

[mogami]

Hi, Can you say "what was that password again? Or "I wonder what was going on here"
How long can a game gather dust before you can't get back into it? I play tempo tempo tempo. Hard to tell what is going on after 2 months. I seem to recall I was getting ready to massacure a herd in Burma or something.
