Hey LST, ANy kind of an update coming soon?....GP

[LargeSlowTarget]

So, I poked around Allied first turn a bit, and, oh boy, one special TF around Tahiti would make Anita Sarkeesian rage quit your mod at once!

Who the f*** is Anita Sarkeesian?

Seriously, I had to google the name to discover a whole polemic I have entirely missed. Jeez, nowadays you cannot say or do anything anymore without someone somewhere feeling offended. I'm against caveman behavior but heck, the human race would have gone extinct long ago without men admiring female assets. That special TF is just an Easter egg and virtual memorial for my old sigpic I had to retire in the name of pc. Funny it took so long for someone to find it and bring it up.

Not soon, sorry. I want to advance further into my pbem, there may be other things to fix down the road.

Just dropping you a note LST that we are at turn 655 with the1henson playing Bottlenecks v1.3 with simplified R&D.

No major issues with the mod so far. I'm playing Japan and after quite some effort I've now conquered the whole of China. We are engaged very seriously in the Marianas, Timor and and Burma with my worthwhile opponent pushing me very hard currently.

Supply is a constant problem for me but something I can live with, it just restrict what I can do. Oil is a very scarce resource but I'm able to still keep my industry running at 4300 HI.

Drop me a PM if you want some more detailed info/feedback.

Thanks for the feedback! In my game against Axe I'm struggling to keep enough resources flowing to the industries in the Home Islands, but I'm only at turn 253 (Aug 42) and just started to get my resource convoys organised after the initial expansion phase. So HI points and supplies are not exactly ample at the moment, which puts a brake on overly ambitious expansion plans - as it should be in this mod. No expansion at all in China. However, I have taken Darwin and Chittagong in order to kill Allied ground units and to delay Allied moves into the oil region for as long as possible. But instead of an Empire I am building a house of cards...
