Personally, I would rather see this lovely lady from Tunisia or even her daughter . . .

Well, I have done it again. I rescued a barely four week old kitten000000 (who is trying to help meeee type ) who is just cute as all get out. Now all I have to do is convince Gilligan (my 8 year old Tom) who was also rescued, hence the name, that she needs a home too. OY! Taking care of a kitten is also a time commitment. Hope the Good Lord wants to keep me around for a while. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, EGAD!

So HE gave you another job to do. Enjoy it.

For people who say that there is nothing new under the sun, they obviously never saw a kitten or a puppy explore their world!

Just be grateful that it is a kitten so you don't have to go on smelly diaper patrol.

Thanks all. I will probably give the scenarios a try first, but as I am already on India on the setup for the campaign game I might as well finish setting it up:) A little more than 1600 lines to go!
You are where I was early March on my current game. I had two previous false starts, the first because did not have the game updated and configured correctly to run on a modern PC. The other in hindsight I should have continued. I am in mid-Sept 1942 now in the current game. Turns took me hours at first, it was like that the first month. Now a turn takes me 15 min to an hour. I am a retired widower so the only thing I have to do is mow my lawn once a week and throw some food in the microwave every once in a while so I don't starve. I have conservatively spent 40 hours on this game this week. I want my life back but it's that addicting. I am still a complete beginner at this game, but I am finding it to be one of the deepest games I ever played. The minutia can become fascinating and every bit I have learned so far makes a difference. But you can do as little as 15 min to an hour a day if you have the self control I obviously do not have.

Good for you.

It won’t be easy to get your life back now that your are into it.

Sorry about your wife but at least she won’t be semi-neglected like mine is.

You just reminded me I just lost the Wasp. It sank as one of the ducks in a cripple convoy to pearl. I thought it could make the trip from Nourmea to there with 51 Flt damage, actually realistic.

In 2018 I was playing against the AI for about 8 month IRL. When I quit I promised myself that I will not play this game again until I am retired in about 25 years. But here I am again. [8D]
