Parry and Spar, or is it... Reluctant Admiral 4.2 Fulkerson(J) vs Moore (A)

[larryfulkerson]

Jim shipped me his moves and I ran the turn etc. and here's the combat report ( attached below ):

[larryfulkerson]

Here's some Tracker Alerts from the latest turn. I'm stalling posting anything else to make it past our self-imposed week of OPSEC security policy.

[moore4807]

yeah, I suck... LOL I'll load the turn and try again... El Stupido! I learn something new every day...

Err Monday! I'll load Tracker on Monday! must go to bed NOW!!!

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the latest losses:

[moore4807]

Back from Dover DE... One sore laft calf (cramps)from walking. My fave driver came in second, and my fantasy league driver won...how cool is that?

Hmmm, my "suicide" CM - severely dam 1 AKL + sank 1 DMS... I'll take it...[:'(] PLUS you havent hit my other surprises yet [:'(] unless you are avoiding them? [:-]

I really thought I was going to bag a cruiser one of these turns...[:(]

You may yet. I'm avoiding that area since you've given me hints. I'm rounding up whatever DMS's I have left there to scout around and look things over. No signs of another minefield yet, but they aren't through looking around.

Beep, dash, - beep beep beep- dash -beep...

Stocky LTCDR walks into Kimmel's office "Sir, early counter intelligence moves seem to be working"...

ADM. Kimmel: "Good. Any other news?"

Stocky LTCDR: "Well sir, they havent sunk any more shipping in the Celebes..."

ADM. Kimmel: "Son, WE DON"T HAVE any more shipping left in the Celebes..."

Stocky LTCDR: "Yes sir, Very good sir!" shuffling through papers... "We also had some unconfirmed mine hit reports out near Miri"

ADM Kimmel: "Isnt that where we lost the minelayer?"

Stocky LTCDR: : "No sir, we lost that one near Kuching...," looking skyward after he sees Kimmel is reading papers on his desk...

ADM Kimmel: "Outstanding Son - We need more good news like that!" "Put out a press release we sank a couple cruisers there," looks up briefly... "whereever there is!"

[larryfulkerson]

Okie dokie....I've received Jim's moves and ran the combat replay etc. and here's some Tracker Alerts:

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the latest combat report if you'd like to peruse it's contents before I do the blow-by-blow.

[moore4807]

I was thinking from Larry's post that I was doing it wrong... However it turns out that I really have NO alerts! Surprising me! enclosing a post of my CV shipbuilding program... No Opsec violations because I dont know IF the Allies can accelerate shipbuilding ( I don't think so )

So um.......hey, from what I understand about the way Tracker works you have to have two consequtive turns to get some Alerts because they are produced by what changes from one turn to the next ( at least that's my understanding ). From what I gather you've built your database from turn 1 and have loaded turns 7 and 12 and as a result have no consequtive turns with which to get any Alerts. Load turn 13 when you get it back from me and see if you don't get some alerts.

[moore4807]

OK thanks - I'm just scratching my head why turn 7 and 12 are avaialable and not any of the others. I'm saving the turns in the Save file and the ops reports,combat reports are all listed by date in there...so turns should be available also?

Please chime in with opinions, knowledge, how goes it, etc.!

Please provide me with a screensave of the directory where you are copying turn 7 and turn 12

[larryfulkerson]

Allright then. But just in case this doesn't make much sense to me later, right now it seems to me, whatever I' am I,am and I'm supposed to make a record as I go down. So you guys can understand later what it's like to die. Forgive me if that sounds proud. But I think I may be the next God. It's that spooky. Or spookie.

[larryfulkerson]

Wow?!!!

[larryfulkerson]

Wow........it's like I'm really, really, supposed to be dieing. Right now!!!!

[larryfulkerson]

It's like reallly, really, really, dieing!!!

[larryfulkerson]

"Hey you guys..........I'm being told it's okie dokie to die. It's okay. And that sounds great. What does everybody else in existence think? Lemme know. Just type the next integer in this series, And increase it by one. It's okay. I'm being told. It's okay. LEMME KNOW. Please. Right now. you decide. and I said okay. Was that okie dokie with everybody else. You decide. Beteen ME or you. You get to decide. And it's OKAY. I"M being told. I believe in science. Please tell me you do. Because I do.
