KEN please STOP ! just in case










ok we start again

1st turn moves done .. CV's to run to palmyra first .. subs re-routed along with the CA and DM's at johnson.

argonaught sent to mine wake

019 sent to kuching

020 sent to jolo

also sent an at sea light dutch unit CL +4DD;s on a dash back to amboina .. it will be a suprise anyway it goes !

well that and i remembered to do china too . mostly just clearing stuff up. must remember to move the DD's at HK this game [;)]

any advice/comments are welcome .. i have a sort of plan rather differant to last time. i will tell more later on.

I'm glad to see you up & going with a new AAR.

Good luck!

Oh, you two started new game from scratch!

As always good luck and hopefully you make Miller regret that he ever tried his tricks againts you [:D]

Hehe thanks all .. Im sure his wily oriental ways will be of a much better outing this time round, The mod does change the game more fundamamtally than just the OOB changes.

anyway slight delay .. he forgot to set suprise on and them spent hours doing the turn .. wondered why a counterstrike from PH hit a CV ?? OOPS ! had to do it all over again . poor sod ..

The title alone should win this thread an award. [:D]

I agree 100% on that one.

thank you for your appreciation of the title [:D].. hope its not too un-PC .. fingers crossed

WAR has broken out .. in response to a dutch submarine attack off borneo the japanese just had to have a large CV force ststioned off PH and on the spur of the moment retaliated ! ( bull %$%^ popoganda by the japs ) but the first shot was this

As you can see .. new avatar, new graphics too..

map by subchaser .. thank you
A/c tops and backgrounds by THE ELF .. again thanks
New explosions by Cobra.. thank you

Well i could list all the invasions but this picture will suffice

HOLY MOLEY .. as homer would say

time for the naval forces to get some work in fast .. especially in west borneo .. I'll split force Z and hit both landings ,, maybe even kuchang too.

local fighters will be set to LR cap the surface groups and the bombers set to 6k feet. got 2 hits with a/c day 2 .. no real effect.

as for PH he stayed one day then left .. doubt he will be back but 2 BB's lie under the sea [:@][:@]

Time for some really agressive defence vs this major attack , i suspect he;s gone for west borneo as i used torp bombers from here to really annoy him last game but he is very far out.

anyway ,.. my subs on turn 1 were great !

one vert bad news wake is fell on turn 1 ! 4 CA's levelled the CD batteries ( presumably sent from the guam raid) and a single naval gd unit overran wake easily. boo [:@]

more tomorrow .. 1st allied turn is a drain and i think ive forgotten 101 things too .. BUT i did remember to move the RN destroyers from HK ( carrying the BF to darwin) .. also some stragglers sent out from manilla ( not all) ..

almost forgot.. freuder krieg .. welcome to my little witp offering .. more the merrier [:)]

Don't like posting on an opponents thread, I promise I have not read anything but i wanted Rob to know that sometime between turn two plotting and then execution on his computer the leader bug is cropping up. I checked my file last night as i saved it before ending the phase, and all my leaders were intact. Once i got the file back, almost 2/3 of them are staff officers and cannot be replaced except by 4 very lame replacements. These same 4 come up no matter what unit i check. It seems to have only hit the ground units, no planes or navel TFs yet.

Rob, let me know if you want me to resend the last file i have saved. I can end the phase and resend and we can see if it hits again.

lets try once more .. maybe they will come back else we will just have to wait till 1.8 and start again i think.

What is the latest news? You going to wait for next patch?

You seem to have bad luck with your PBEM's Rob! [:(]

yes . we will wait till 1.8 as the leader bug really screwd up miller ..

70% of troops with WO in charge and only 4 leaders in the pool .. really a no go situation .. i havn't (can;t) check the alles right now .. as game halted .. and we havnt read each others PBEM so maybe the same next time but without the bugs ..annoying BUT i'm going into hospital on the 31st for ?? no idea how long .. so a break from WitP is about due anyway

thanks for asking and i will be keeping a close eye on your PBEM games in the meantime ( playing by proxy )

EDIT .. yup i do seem to be unlucky ,, and to top it off my oldest PBEM in sept 42 has died too .. even though i was losing .. EDIT

you might be waiting a while for 1.8 maybe resending the turn 1 will help. the last AAR wasn't impacted by leader disapearances.

Yeah .. true ... humm
i have decided to take a break from intensive PBEM for a bit anyway. the frustration of not actually even getting past 42 was starting to pi$$ me off a bit.

Still have one game going with surrender monkey at a nice sedate pace.

once miller and I do restart and we dont get bogged down with bugs etc. I am hopeing we will at least get to 43 as he seems to be a very dedicated opponent, not one to throw in the towel when the going gets tough.

tyanks for the support though . and ill still be posting annoying messages on other AAR's .. not leaving just having a break.

All the best Rob [8D]

Sorry to see this one go........see you the other side of 1.8....................

thank you speedy and fabertong , no idea the esteemed penguin was reading [;)]..

when we restart i'll be sure to have a chilled bucket of krill waiting for you [:D]
