You dont see games played to the end often here.
Very enjoyable read and I love your endtime apocalyptical humour :D

Of course the result boils down to a single thing.

I'm late to the congratulations Lowpe.

Thanks for all the time and effort in providing your AAR. I can only imagine what it feels like to complete a PBEM, even a pick up one. Thanks again for a great read and entertaining game to follow.

Nope, I was very poor with Kamikazes.

The few good attacks I got in generally all missed, with the exception of a few attacks on CVE.

I think if you flew kamikazes off the KB the coordination might really help.

What is left of Japan's armored forces. Supply gone pretty much. I would move the tanks in and out to get them supplies.

What was left of most of my bombers and transports...flying supplies in to Honshu from Korea/Manchuko.

About 50 transports were flying troops around in China...

Remaining subs, most were transporting supplies.

About 4 were taking supplies to Honshu from Manchuko during December. Prior all supply was shipped to China.

Actually helped quite a bit since fuel was never a concern.

End war the subs were also used to lay minefields, especially wherever CD guns were.

Troop transports...boy are these guys important, and I tended to really waste them early in the game.

Reader awards:

MVP Poster goes to Lokasenna. I think he made the first post and was with me to the bitter end, always looking at the game very differently than me. I should have listened to him more.[&o]

Prophet of Doom Award goes to NY59Giants. Always ready with posts of upcoming apocalyptic Allied strength or to make fun of me. Should have listened to him more too![&o]

Eye Opener Award goes to Alfred. Boy, his posts goes to show how little I know and always opened my eyes to tactics, strategy, game mechanics and insights! I can't tell you many times I re-read his posts.[&o]

Honorable Mention: Obvert. Always helpful with insights of having been there and done that. [&o]

For all the many posters no slight is intended. Too many to mention here but special extra thanks to M-M, Witpqs, BB, Andav, Wargamer, NJP, Spidery, Mr. Kane and everyone else. [&o]

What a great community![&o][&o][&o]

If you are wondering why there are so many tracker screenshots, after the game ended, I couldn't save...so I need to watch the replay all over again for the last day screenshots and I have been too lazy to do that.

I will turn off combat summaries and let the computer churn through the turn while I do something else and get some screenshots for you later. Perhaps choosing a different button on the VP screen will allow me to save the end game turn.
