Howdy all,
Once again I'm trying pbem, this time with a friend down the street where I live, Treznor. I'm going to use the same format as I used with my aborted game with Scott1964, sorry Scott for not be able to continue on with that one. I probably will not do day to day, but instead only do major events or weekly updates.

Using Big B's extended map scenerio 192.
- No 4E bombing under 10,000ft.
- Full units for invasions, no sub commando groups.
- Treat this as realistic as possible, all disagreements will be debated about personally.
- Player defined upgrades
- No overstacking airfields.
- Any other tactics used is war, learn or die

I've decided not to move or change anything on first turn.

Let the hounds of war loose!

Looks like my sock wasn't dirty enough, some parts look cut off [;)]

This one is good, love the newspapers.
 
If only Force Z could do that well for me...but yours seems to have suffered the same fate mine always does in the end.
