Now my biggest concern is about India...400k men and 4000 guns at Multan are a lot to face...i don't think i can move any further...gotta use these days of break to think about a solution...

Do you need a solution? Simply driving the length of India is playing into what Rader wants you to do. If you are unwilling to flank India, then you need to FLANK India and simply ignore it and proceed elsewhere. You need to start looking at either the DEI or central pacific to compliment what you are doing in SWPAC. Simply fighting island-by-island or town-by-town in India means playing to exactly what Rader wants you to do.
As someone once told me (7 Habits anyone?), use your Resource and Initiative GreyJoy. In other words, mediocre leaders see roadblocks ("he is too strong here, he has too many forts there, I don't have enough widgets over here"), good leaders see alternatives and opportunities.

I was reading the "How do I kill PT boats" thread all day yesterday before I realized it was Rader who started it. Congratulations, GJ, you have managed to quite get under his skin and get him out of his comfort zone. [8D]

As he pointed out before, GJ is suffering from a critical shortage of amphibious type ships. He just does not have the shipping to be flanking in India right now as well as operating in the Pacific.

Another interruption in the game? I assume this one is due to rader's vacation? I mean, there's no way GreyJoy can be off on another vacation. He's had sixteen in the last three weeks.

Lae and Nzareb are still damaged by last week missions so the air situation in NG is growing better.
Lo, in the time of Caesar Augustus, there was a census of all the people... And Mary and Joseph went to Nzareb, the City of David, for Joseph was of that line... [:D]

Yes, so he should stop worrying about India and proceed elsewhere.

If he's keeping a mass of Japanese troops tied down in India, and if those troops would be pulled out if he pulled out first, then he's actually accomplishing alot by keeping up the appearance of pressure there.

I agree CR. At the same time my appearance of pressure should become a more effective threat in order to keep Rader tied down there. I wanna put myself into a position that gives me two advantages: force Rader to remain heavily committed (and to do that i must show him that i'm strong) or, if he decides to leave India or to deminish his garrisons there, i must be ready to exploit any sign of weakness on his part.
So it's not easy...i'm thinking about something...i'll use this week end to study the overall strategic situation
And...no, i'm here working
Rader is out for business till monday[:)]...and my vacations were all well deserved! [:D]

I think i need to come up with a strategy that is able to tie togheder the whole operative map...at the moment all my theatres are working indipendently...i need to "connect" them all and find a way to make the various theatres act in a general unified plan

I think you are working toward that. My point was that you should leave India alone since you are tying so many of his troops up there and because India is no longer the decisive theatre. You are accomplishing more just leaving it alone [:)] i.e., look for opportunities elsewhere!

What happens in Nzareb stays in Nzareb.
Particularly if it involves shaving.

Not sure whether to laugh or cry, Bullwinkle. The images won't go away, and now my head hurts.
Canoe, great reference. I can tell our Sunday school teachers used the same lesson book.

I am a Sunday school teacher. Occasionally, I ask somebody to read from Second Leviticus. One time, a friend was visiting our class. I began the class by saying the lesson of the day would be about sin. "And this," I said, pointing to my friend, "is our guest sinner."

I just picked up that 4-book "Fire and Ice" set from Amazon, thanks to you guys (who should get a commission), and have knocked out about 35 pages. Greyjoy, the smartass, was introduced pretty quickly. So far, so good.
Cheers,

This AAR chugs along even without a game going on.
