So this is it then! Last turn was the last of the war. Havn´t really had time to digest it yet. Feels good. Good but odd. And a bit sad.

Its been a fantastic game. We have had our differences at times and there has been harsh words. Despite that we always managed to sort out the differences. But all our differences came out of inexperience. No such discussions would have taken place if we had known what we know now.

My hats off to Erik. He has played a solid game and shown its quite possible to stay competitive right up to the end even in SCEN 1. He also made some big concessions in China because I thought the game would have been lost otherwise (silly me!).

I´ll probably write some kind of summary of the game in the coming days. Need to collect my thoughts a bit first. Actually a bit emotional right now. Its been a long journey. My daughter wasn´t even a thought by the time we started this and now she is running around the house and I have another one coming in just 4 weeks. Puts things into a perspective.

A big thank you to all that has read and contributed to this AAR. Without you guys I would have given up a long time ago. You guys rock! [&o]

Have to send a special thank you to three individuals that really made all the difference in the early days.
- Micheal aka ny59giants)
- Dan Nichols (I hope you are still alive and well)
- BB Fanboy (I hope you are still around too!)

Death Ride of the IJN.....very much like what happened to the Yamato originally.

Must have been fun to watch, if a bit anticlimactic.

Thanks George! [:)]

A couple of weeks back I was sure I wouldn´t start another game. Not as sure anymore...Then I had two games going. Now I all of the sudden I have zero games going!

Feels very odd and I´m not sure I can adjust to that! [:D]

Here is the Intelligence screen.

Great game and great AAR. It would have been interesting to see a huge Surface Battle, but it didn't happen.
Considering where you were at the beginning of this AAR, excellent job.

Here is a screen of the air losses. Very pleased to find only the Hellcat versions on the list...and the...C-47. I have felt for some time that something is wrong with the C-47 and I think this screen confirms it pretty clearly. I have mainly used the C-47 flying in Burma from a level 9 AF to another at short range. Despite that and a 50% rest setting with fully trained pilots you seem to suffer 3-8 OPS losses per turn. Don´t even think about flying the hump. You will lose hundreds of planes per month to OPS losses.

I don´t know what is causing this but looking at total number of allied losses the C-47 ranks in at number 4. Only the two Hellcats and the B24 have suffered more losses. Something is definitively off with this air frame.

Wow, great game & great players! I've been watching both sides for 5+ months now and my hat's off to the Joc and Obvert.

What am I going to check daily every 15 minutes now? You could always redo the last turn so we can see that naval clash! [:D]

Thanks! If I get REALLY bored I´ll ask him. [;)]

Great game - been watching both sides so haven't piped up to much, but congrats on getting to the end!

Great game....my hat is off to you both.
