He's been quiet the past few minutes. Must be crying over it as we speak.[:D]

I don't think i got it. You'd better send it again just be on the safe side.

Done but not with the CR since that's been overwritten since..............didn't miss much anyway[;)]

What are you waiting for? Step on the Bunny!

He'll have to untangle his feet first.

LOL. Pretty funny, Nik. Now run that turn you just got.

i would except i'm at work! then after that....more anatomy study. He'll get it tonight assuming i don't fall asleep at the table.

Feeble excuse, Nik. Very feeble.[:D]

And the BTR turn? That's been days outstanding......[8|]

I want to increase my kill ratio from 5:1 to 10:1 [:'(]

guilty as charged. (though you still hold the record in delays [:'(] )

This week has been crazy with tests and quizzes. I'm lucky to get out a WitP turn in over 10 minutes. BTR.....unless i want to not fly and try to raise morale....takes longer [:(]

What's BTR? I keep hearing you guys talk about it.

Bombing The Reich.

Aha. Apparently you guys like it. Care to elaborate?

whats to say......i've owned both Bombing the Riech and battle of Britian (Talonsoft) for years but never had the time to play much less by PBEM. Speedy offered a game to tutor me and so i took the plunge. Its a monster game thats even more intimidating at first than WitP.

Was quite overwhelmed at first (i'm Allies) There's so many targets, and even more airgroups to manage + Bomber Command is thrown in too (Night bombing campaign) Yikes.

I have no idea how "well" i'm doing. I think i'm doing ok. (managed to score an industry point or two and an Air superiority point.

How's it play against the AI?

Cant say. Like i said, i'd never had a real chance to dig into either game, PBEM or AI. My game with Speedy is my first plunge into the deep end for BTR....(though i suppose BoB would have been a better choice as it has far less resources and targets to manage)

My last experience with this subject was USAAF. So far, the experience has been superior and Speedy, I must admit....is a tough opponent (then again he's a veteran of the game too.) I've only just started actually "winning" a few air battles.....the first month was my boys getting their tails kicked all over the place. Only Bomber Command was making progress.

Hi guys,

It is a fantastic game if I do say so myself (not biased). The level of details is brilliant and it offers so many options for play - do you go for Ball Bearings or Chemicals etc.......

If i'm honest Nik is doing OK for his first PBEM. I think he's running at about 5 pr 6:1 loss ratio. If the Allies can get a 2:1 or 3:1 they are doing pretty good. Keep in mind with BTR as it stands it is HARD to get a 1:1 or even better kill ratio against a human. I won't deny I am playing conservatively as the Axis though especially in regard to my daylight interceptions - not massing for attack, trying to play realistically etc. Nik's doing ok though as I say[:)]

Mike - If you're interested Matrix are revamping BTR and BoB + many other Talonsoft titles. Check out the necessary forums for info etc. I'm a tester for BoB and BTR and I can say the revamp should be pretty darn good[8D]

As for against the AI. As the Allies the AI struggles. In short it's not much of a challenge there. As the Axis it can do ok depending on how you play the Allies/how good you are.

If you want anymore info/questions etc fire away.......

Ah Faber has sent me a WiTP turn.....[8D]

Questions later. The mother of battles is one day closer.[:D]

Hi all,

Quiet, quiet. B17's attack Rabaul at night destroying a Zero.

Japanese ASW group find SS O24 NE of Batavia. No damage caused.

Nik's claerly running after fearing Yorktown may actually sink if she comes within Betty range again[:'(]

Hi all,

Preparations continue for the next stage of expansion.....as such the quiet continues.

Forts from PM bomb Rabaul at night again. They cause no damage and a plane is lost due to engine trouble on the way home.

--------------

SS O16 is intercepted by several IJN destroyers which fail to fix her location.

On the 16th I-7 is attacked by several US DD's escorting a convoy inbetween the West Coast and PH. Some minor damage is caused by nearby DC's.
