Ah, ok - I thought the ice started in October. You'll be marking off the days from here to November, then...

Japan didn't do anything today that poses an obvious threat to the Allies.

That sums up the whole game to date[:D]
By the way, Happy New Year Dan.

Malaybaylay: Imperial Guards and 6th Guards Division show up at this isolated Allied outpost in the Philippines. This base, garrisoned by 450-besieged Allied AV, had withstood several IJ attacks over the months. Steve has decided to finally and desicively deal with the outpost, but this was overkill that gives the Allies important intelligence. These two divisons were last seen at Semereng, Java, in May. One of them was reported prepping for Oosthaven. Their diversion to Malaybalay suggests that nothing major is about to happen in the DEI (not because their current deployment is conclusive, but rather that it is additional evidence that Steve is defensively rather than offensively minded). The Aliles currently have tabs on six IJA divisions outside China - these two, two isolated at Padang, Sumatra, and two somewhat isolated at Magwe, Burma.
Other Than That: Another quiet turn as the Allies are awaiting arrival of reinforcements at Oosthaven, the staging point for the upcoming push to garrison or reinforce key Java Sea bases north of Oosthaven.

Best wishes for a happy new year "rebel". I have somehow caught up to you (Terry and I are at Oct. 1st '42 ) and only wish I could "compare notes" as to being in a similar time frame, but alas by circumstances are quite different. The DEI being completly gone and I mean 99% base capture, one small base force (20 guys) left in the PI, and I face a reinforced Solomons, a beseiged Port Morseby, and an unscathed Kido Butai with four carrier and a modern battleship kill. I would like to see your China situation though. Has Chez recovered from your earlier drubbing of his larger divisions there? You must have received the new aircraft in China also, how are they faring against the vaunted empire?

Happy New Year to all you kind gents, also.
Steve has once again sent the wrong turn file, so no turn today.
For several weeks, I have been mulling over starting a new game once this game reaches January 1, 1943, but I'm starting to think about whether I might want to move that up, since this game has gone into a nearly stagnant mode.
I think - I'm not positive, but I think - that I only want to start a new game against Nemo or Alfred. Both of those gents, to my way of thinking, would be strong candidates to shoot for auto victory. (There are others out there who could also, but I don't know them as well because I only follow a very, very few AARs.) So, if Nemo or Alfred (or both of them) were interested, I think I'd be interested in a Scenario Two match. If neither of those gents rises to the bait, I'll mull over things for awhile before proceeding.

Looking forward to see you challenge the best of the best CR![:D]

If Nemo accepts your challenge, it'll only be because he wants to peak inside your OODA loop. I think he's kinda kinky that way.

I'd like to see either take up the challenge if the gauntlet is indeed thrown down. The potential for one heck of an entertaining game and a great tutorial for players of all skill levels would be hard to pass up.

RE: Das darf nicht var sein!
I think there are many good reasons that neither Alfred nor Nemo can or will take on a Scenario Two match right now. I know I've asked them before and been turned down politely. But I hope to one day catch them at a weak moment.

RE: Das darf nicht var sein!
Well CR, here's hoping that you do manage to catch either Alfred or Nemo. The resulting AAR would make for a fantastic read and a grand adventure of the first order!
RE: Das darf nicht var sein!
I'm hoping that Chez gets "the bug" again and immerses himself in the game again.
Maybe he suffers from not having an AAR where fellow JFB can help him through strategies or moral support.
I woud imagine GJ needed this help in his early days, well maybe first 2.5 years of gametime[:D]
IFF you play those mentioned be prepared for a technical game rather than a "historical" approach.

LOL! Definitely me.... but I'm also more private.

RE: Das darf nicht var sein!
It has been my sense over the last month that Chez's interest in this game has waned dramatically. That is sad as you made it clear in the beginning you only wanted to play against an opponent that would play out the game. After the Oddball defection, that was a reasonable request. I hope it is but a temporary "real life moment" that has slowed Chez's turn production, but I fear this is the end, my friend.
If so, I will say again that you played a very good game and wrote and hosted an excellent AAR.
