Some things how I give orders in sequence (obviously if major crises happening, those get priority):

- Pearl Harbor (game "automagically" centers there so..), damaged ships, subs and whatnot
- Ops report (new arrivals and anything interesting, disbandments)
- major ports (usually with arrivals and repairs etc.)
- clockwise starting North Pacific, ending with India, off-map and rear-area bases usually treated previously)
- China, the favoured "tar baby"
- major operations planned
- minor adjustments (air unit replacement adjustments, extra pilots)

Generally, doing things similar ways every turn will make things easier instead of jumping between bases and TFs. Of course sometime you have to. Just know that routine will make you less likely to miss something important.

Hi, Sardaukar.

I am enjoying this AAR as I am your 6th which I am still reading.

In that one you uploaded the modified scenario you were using. I would be very grateful if you could do the same here.

I have begun to play the scenario you used in your 6th AAR and at some point in the (probably not so near) future I would like to do the same with this modified scenario.

Thanks for these AARs and please keep playing and writing them. I really appreciate your insights regarding this game.

[BananaConvention]

Aren't you tired of beating up the AI by now? I would be going insane killing scripts. When will you show us what you can do with a PBEM?

Aren't you tired of beating up the AI by now? I would be going insane killing scripts. When will you show us what you can do with a PBEM?

It would be bit too long commitment. Against AI I can have my own schedule, sometimes playing quite a few turns a day, sometimes none.

I'll see what I need to include into it and will post it here, hopefully it is not too big .zip file.

As amusing thing, back in days when I was in Malta, I was asked in pub by couple from Yorkshire about "what do you know about Yorkshire?" Me: "Yorkshire Detectives and Yorkshire Ripper"...

By the way, why they pronounce Dalziel as "DL" there and not Dalziel?

Some time ago I updated my wartime-London knowledge and found this:

Some time ago I updated my wartime-London knowledge and found this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Cummins

I did live for a while in Stonebridge, London.

It used to be "murder capital" of UK in past.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonebridge,_London

Stonebridge suffers from high rates of violent crime. In 2015 it had the highest recorded gun crime of any ward in London, with 16 individual reports of gunshots.

Probably nothing special from people in USA, though.

[BananaConvention]

Probably nothing special from people in USA, though.

16 reports of gunshots in a year? That's like every 12 hours here. And half of them are from me.
