at Darwin we keep on having supply problems.

March your HQ between Alice Springs and Tennant Creek. It will pull 50,000+ supplies and then Darwin will draw on the supplies from Tennant Creek without the need of an HQ in the hex. SWPAC HQ does not pull supplies (it's bugged along with SEAC and other command HQ's), so make sure you use the Australian HQ.

Gotta check...i hope i have the Oz HQ at Darwin....
I'll try that tactic! Thx Jim...
However at Sydney now i have 200k supplies so my supply TFs should have easier times.

Jim might have a good trick there, I have yet to try that one. Otherwise, my experience is that all supplies must be shipped into Darwin.

Regarding Troll's Tricks:

He might have meant Eniwetok, and you messed him up with Ponope, so he has too few troops prepped.

Remember that the Home Islands are probably empty because the rules prohibit any aggressive action by the allies.

All of those daily bombing runs on Karachi are giving him a huge force of ultra-high experience bombers. When he is ready he will transfer them to the Pacific in hopes of slaughtering your naval forces.

I seriously doubt he was coming to invade Eniwetok...he would have been a foul and troll isn't a foul!
He would have faced a Marine division, 2 RCT fully prepped, 4 Cbt Eng rgts, 3 Marine CD units, 4 AA units (in this mod AA is deadly), 1 Air HQ, 1 U.S. Army HQ and 2 Tank units....and he barely has (imho) 1000 AVs at Truk...maybe 2000...but nothing more!

However Ponape is still another matter...he still has the force to invade and win here. But every day he loses, it's a day where my defences got stronger.

Yes, i know the problem about his super high experienced naval bombers...those betties bombing for 5 months in a row Karachi are surely up to 90 exp...so deadly! I'm starting now to train some of my bombers and fighters...but oonly few of the are actually under training sessions, cause i badly need them everywhere!

Hope, really hope the pace will get a bit better....1 turn every 2 days is really depressing

Trollelite says he has no time now for playing, despite his exams are over.
So the game, at the moment, must be considered on hold till he decides to come back and play at a normal pace.
 
Don't know if heades' and nemo's games are actually going on. Mine isn't.
 
Sorry guys. I hope we can resume the match asap, but it's not on me now...

I haven't heard from him in about 5 days. I've emailed but gotten no reply. Hades game seems to be continuing, yours is on hold and I haven't heard from him. Has he said why he is so busy?

He just said he has no time to play and that he will resume it (if in a next or far away future he didn't say) when he'll have some leasure(sp?)

Hehe, well the lack of courtesy in:
a) his reply to you and
b) his complete failure to reply to me
 
can hardly be a surprise. I think it fair to say he has amply demonstrated how good of an opponent he is here. Rule exploitation is one thing and we all draw the line differently, common courtesy in dealing with one's opponents is another and really is a must have.

Does this mean you'll be kicking my ass in our game GH?

Don't know nemo. Sometimes events of life are strange and you find yourself with not even the time to draw a pair of lines by email even to the closest friends...let alone pbem opponents. Despite i'm not justifying his way of acting, i can, under a certain pov, understand that it may happen.
Anyway, i really do hope he's coming back soon. It would be a terrible pity to let die the game for no "urgent" reasons...

Hope the same for your game, obiously[:)]

Sorry to hear about the game though [:(]

GH,
 
You are right re: life and some urgent issues preventing one having the time to play BUT his game against Hades has been update within the last 24 hours. If all 3 stop then, fine, life intervened, if only 2 stop then one must question what is happening.

So you don't think that the punch in the nose at Ponape and the retreat into Chungking had anything too do with the .....ahem...pause.[;)]

Sincerly...i hope not. If it was so, well, better to stop the game all in once and not stand here waiting for something to change....
Japan still has the upper hand all over the map. It would be absolutely crazy for him to stop now for Chungking or Ponape. Chungking will surely fall...maybe with some more months but will fall. Manila is falling too...only Karachi has some chance of holding. And Ponape is still a battle to fight!
So i believe it's just a "real-life problem" that forced him to pause the game. I want to believe so.

I would hope so too otherwise 90% of our thoughts have been vindicated here. Let's wait and see I guess if his other game stops too and how long a break it is.......

Still even if Troll may have to give up with the game because of the real life, the very interesting settings make that you'll undoubtedly find some other worthy opponent interested in taking over and go on with the fierce battle.

Well..yes, if Troll gave the pw to someone else i'm sure i'd find someone interested!
..I'd be interested!

Ok, i've managed to chat with Troll for few minutes.
The game will be resumed somewhere in the next future (maybe even this week end), but the pace will be slow he assured. ...i hope at least 1turn/1day....let's hope.
However he didn't seem that interested anymore...but, as i told him...there are things more interesting out there...parties, girls, alchoolics etc...[8D]...so if he's abbandoning me for those kinds of stuff, well he has my blessing[:D]
 
(not that you can't do both at the same time eh...i always try to keep my foot in both shoes[;)])
