Japan Needs Player in Existing 2x2 PBEM

Our Western Theater Japanese player cannot continue so we are looking for a replacement to fill his slot. Following is a brief of where we are as well as a page with some specific info on the game and an AAR that has been somewhat neglected as of late but will still give you an idea of the game.

In March of 1942

More often than not we are doing one game turn per day. Sometime a miss or two on or near the weekends as RL gets in the way

Due to FOW I cannot be specific but so far Singapore has fallen. The PI have been bypassed. Java is currently under attack and perhaps half in Japanese hands. Some very interesting actions recently with what looks like 1 IJN and 2 Brit battleships going into the deep. In the east, Japan is in control of Rabaul, Milne Bay and Nedni. Strong intel says two US CV's have gone down. My two allied opponents may want to comment from their standpoint.

It's been a fun game with good people and looks like a good chance to continue that way.

I've only two requests of our new player.

1. A reasonable level of experience. Don't have to bee a grognard but thats certainly ok if you are. Just want to be sure the player has the basics well under their belt.

2. Willing to stick with the game for the long haul. All three of us are very understanding of RL and it's demands and as such we sometimes cover for one another or will step away for a few days

Ken & Bill, please feel free to chime in.

Yes please join in. The game is at a very interesting point and there seems to be action pretty much everywhere.

Edit: ... and I'll try to revamp the AAR

Hello Cannonfodder,

I've been doing the economy with some very good help from "BigRed" (our departing player). Although this will give a bit of info to the allies, we have invested somewhat heavily in pulling some aircraft forward and hope to have some surprises for the allies in the months ahead. Are ya scared allies <G>?

If you enjoy the economy you are more than welcome to manage it. I enjoy it as well but I'm more than willing and would appreciate being able to concentrate on the military end since things are starting to heat up substantially in the South Pacific.

For sure rear area should go to the west commander now since most all the resources come out of that area.

If it sounds interesting send me a PM. Would be glad to have you aboard.

Carl
