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

Here you can see the destruction of Honshu. Industry is trashed...

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

Supply stockpiles in the Empire. Not very good.

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.

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.
