As you can see, an underwhelming attack at Pearl. [8|] Geoff and I decided to do a joint AAR to raz each other, and to comment on the mod. Looking at China, I can already see that the stacking limits will be problematic.

The 8th had only 2 notable events, a bombardment of Kuantan, and a long range attack by Kates at Pearl. Certainly messed up the fenders of the BB's in TF's.

oops

I am extremely disapointed with the performance of the Nell and Betty drivers, I probably should go out back and beat them with a sword. I am assuming the accuracy reduction in the Babes mods is the reason.

Being non-Catholic, I assume the Japanese are not happy with the Pope conferring its "blessing". [;)]

Amazing how good those 4 stackers are, especially since only the Fubuki I's seem to be able to hit the broad side of a barn for my Imperial Awesomeness. [:D]

Probably some of you have, but I've never seen one of these.

Fortification rates seem to be quicker than in stock. Perhaps I have more engineers everywhere?

Wish I did. [;)]

Geoff and I decided to do a joint AAR to raz each other, and to comment on the mod.

Um.......Jim Moore and I are trying to do a joint AAR too and it's not working out so well for me. Jim is a really good guy though and
I don't want to hurt his feelings so I hesitate to "leave" his AAR w/o a good reason. OPSEC is coming between me and my desires
for the AAR....I want to share my plans and ideas and that would definately help out Jimbo. I've been trying to just attach the picture
I would use and let the user click on the attachment but I have evidence that not many readers do that and just ignore the post and go
to the next one instead. So I don't know what else to do here, (1) start my own AAR? risk losing a friend ( Jim ) in the process. or
(2) just ride this one out and the next AAR will be private. Yeah, I can live with that.

Looking at China, I can already see that the stacking limits will be problematic.

Sorry, I completely missed what mod you guys are playing. Is it anything like RA 4.2 per chance?

The format does not lend itself to planiing, that is for sure. I figure any real excitement will get played out here with a turn or two lag. We ar Playing Babes C w/ stacking limits. Definately not the JFB wetdream scenario. I figure if I can push hard and fast, I'll at least be viable til mid-late 43.

With Rabaul captured, the nefarious plans to force Australia's surrender may commence. [8D]
