I just recently updated my PC and went from a 20 minute processing time for two turns to 1.25 minutes. Now that is cool!

I look back nostalgically at the former glory of my empire.

Congrats on also having an opponant that has stuck it out. It is a shame that so few games last very long.

Status: offline 		I think I've been lucky so far. I did have one opponent drop out early (Feb '42, shortly after Baby KB took a lickin' & Balikpapan fell fully damaged.)

But my other opponents have kept on very steadily: viberpol - May '42 start & we're now in June '43 with 1 day turns. He's definitely giving me a challenge. George Patton - we agreed to quit 1 game due to bugs (April '42) but in our new game we're now already in July '42, also one one day turns. Despite damage & losses we're both continuing without pause at 1-2 turns/day.

Status: offline 		Yes. You have to give credit to the Japanese players who stick it out.

Though from reading some AARs I don't think it's only Japanese players who drop out. I've seen a few allied players quit after losing a CV or 3.

Honestly, that seems silly to me (dropping out early on either side). How can you play a game so large and involved & not on occassion suffer a serious setback? (I say that having suffered several serious setbacks myself.) Is a person playing this game to have an enjoyable wargaming experience or to win at all costs? In a perverse way, my game against viberpol (where I've taken very heavy losses) is my most enjoyable since it's the most challenging right now.

The one vs Erstad is in late 1944's and should continue soon.

The vs FDR is is also in late 1944's. He was kind enough to step in an replace my previous opponent. This game should start again in early January.

Status: offline 		My game with Drex started in Nov 2004 just ended in May 1944 with the Allied conquest of Formosa. We played one day turns, but averaged something over 1 turn per day during that span.

We are playing a second concurrently with me as Japs this time. It was an AV officially, but we elected to continue, it's now in March 43. I expect we'll hit 1946 sometine in late 2008. He'll have to nuke me to end it- if he get's that close to Japan
