Status: offline 		Since John III is too busy to start another AAR, it seems, I've volunteered to fill in for him. He doesn't know this, but I am sure he will approve.

I have played John III so many times that I am capable of parroting his every post.

If John bothers to check in and doesn't approve, I'll halt. Then you gents can disregard this thread.

Until then, enjoy.

Japanese ships, subs, and aircraft sank 237 xAKLs today.

Banzai!

Patrols spotted CVL Hermes at Ceylon. This may present an opportunity. KB Division 5 is only 419 hexes to the east. If I sprint, I can make it in 27 turns, stopping to refuel every six hexes. Should I do it? What do you say?

I worked 27 hours today. I'm tired. I accidentally ran the turn backwards.

Hong Kong fell today on a shock attack that cost Japan 165 combat squads. Banzai!

The cold waters of the North Pacific glowed under a rising sun. Carrier Division 3 turned into the wind and launched 215 Netties. Twenty-four hexes to the east Admiral Gumdrop stood all his fighters stood down, forgetting that this was John's newest mod, My Chrysanthemum Smelleth Potent, in which Netties are carrier capable and Japan's sub fleet, augumented by the I-3500 series, carry carry camera-equipped Emilys with a range of 73 hexes and armed with five Long-Lance torpedoes.

Banzai!

I have to admit this mod gives Japan alot of goodies, but that's counterbalanced by all the stuff the Allies get. The RN gets three extra Vampire-class DDs disbanded in port at Port Stanely with 97% SYS damage, reflecting my reluctance to equip the Allies so. And the Americans get 200 extra Marauders effective January 1, 1946.

I worked 23 hours today, watched all eight Star Wars flicks with my boys, and cooked a rotisserie marmot that I shot yesterday.

I wonder why so many people are posting so frequently in Dan's AAR?

Sub scores so far:

I-1: two xAKL, six DD, three AO; one CV.
I-52: six xAK, one CA, two BB.
I-3,517: Queen Elizabeth
I-3,518: leveled San Francisco with the enhanced Nebelwerfer rocket cannon devices available but only if the Japanese player triggers the upgrade, which takes a level two port and four days.

A quick look around the map:

CenPac; Midway and Wake fall.

SoPac: Japan takes Fiji, Samoa and Tahiti.

SWPac: Port Moresby, Rabaul and Horn Island taken.

DEI: Glider troops take Batavia and Soerabaja.

Singapore: Now a size 200 shipyard.

Burma: Rangoon falls.

Banzai!

An Uber driver knocked over a light pole today. It resulted in a power surge that knocked out every electronic device in my house, including my gaming computer. I am making this post at work. It's World Subway Sandwich Day. We are temporarily living in the Caboose.

I had to blow the whistle on Anachro today. Last turn, he deployed an air combat Tf with three CVs in a single hex. It brought back memories of my game with Dan (I wonder why there are so many posts in Dan's AAR today?) I remined Anacrho of House Rule 18: No more than two Allied carriers in any single hex at one time.

Carrier Division 5 bumped into CVL Hermes, which was steaming south of Java. Scratch one flattop! Banzai!

The AI yieled a Japanese Auto-Victory message! I don't believe in Auto-Victory, so I invited Anachro to continue the game. He still has more than 200 ships of all kinds on map.

My economy crashed today. I only have 6 Resources and 19 Oil in the Home Islands. I've emailed Michael for help. More when I hear back from him.

I laughed so hard I had tears coming down my face which caused some interesting looks from co-workers
