Caging the Tiger~ Rader (J) vs. GreyJoy (A)

[JohnDillworth]

but yes, I want to kiss and make up. Under the condition you change your avatar[:D]

[rader]

Eh? I don't have one. But I should probably make one...

[JohnDillworth]

my bad, I meant GJ avatar. You will understand after this is over and you guys can share threads you will see what I mean. this is the offending avatar:

[rader]

Wow, that's strangely aluring [:)] Actually I like the European style...

[rader]

Actually I know all about greyjoy's proclivities. He sends me tons of pics and vids of him in kinky action.

[PaxMondo]

OK, that's way too much information ... I think I like the AI more now.  [:D]

[jeffk3510]

Hes on my bucket list to party with in this lifetime

[bigred]

I think doing this kind of thing is at least midly abusive of the naval strike targetting routine, so it generated a back and fourth of friendly emails which I thought I should post to explain the situation. I got Greyjoy's persmission to post these. I'm curious what people think about this.

My reply will not help.  I like "no rules" games.  Then we never have any disagreement.
So for me-less rules is better.

I'm beginning to think it's time for a trip to Italy.

Sometimes you see a surge in the number of posts GJ's AAR. It's not always game related. Occasionally he posts a couple of pictures and the discussion gets a bit bawdy. There was actually a funny recent incident when it was realized that we had a few ladies following the AAR. As I'm sure you will agree the vast majority of the men that hang around here are gentlemen of the first order but we did have to take down a few posts and some red faced apologies were issued. Just a great bunch in these forums. Glad to see the recent unpleasantness in this thread has simmered down and I look forward to you posting more. And now........back to the war

Another interesting obervation John is my last post in Greyjoys AAR (yesterday, directly under one of yours)

You know if you were Rader you could almost get sigint from Greyjoys AAR by tracking the rate that it accumulates posts. Nothing specific but sudden spurt indicates something is about to happen.

Perhaps Greyjoys posting of photoshopped party scenes is part of an elaborate deception, feeding Radar false sigint. Layers upon layers, the boys like an onion (or a large green figure with trumpet like ears, I'm not sure which).

Well after the long exchange of emails I would be shocked if the next invasion armada wasn't the real thing. The real question is where?

[rader]

Hachinohe is the most logical place - the closest clear hex to his air bases and farthest from mine. That's Why I bet it's not Hachinohe. Probably Akita or Sendai area ia my best guess. Maybe Ominato itself for being only a single hex from Hakkodate (although it is forrest, not clear).

Table this question until after the war is over but I'd love to know, if you were GJ, where would you invade?

It's really hard to answer that question without bias (because I know where I'm defending better than others, etc.). But honestly, I probably would not go in a very direct route. I would probably consider something like Marianas -> Philipines, even at this stage. Just because I would be too much of a coward to jump right into Honshu. I'm not saying it wouldn't/won't work (it very well could/might, I don't know the answer to that either), and I know Greyjoy has cojones enough. It's just pretty all or nothing.

Maybe GJ is waiting for the bomb before he procedes. I would.

[khyberbill]

Also, if you find that marching 5 divisions across New Guinea is "gamey", then what about the Allies being able to launch massive offensives in Burma, in '42?

I have tried to do this once and the supply situation completely stopped me dead. Perhaps this was possible when the game was first released but I dont know if possible now.

I also started to wonder what the effect will be on the allied units entering a "bomb" hex after use?

If it were me I would take Shikoku. That puts all my fighters in range and kills your supply from the DEI. I could then invade anywhere as long as the IJN was not a significant factor. Guess my game would be dull though
