ORIGINAL: bradfordkay "I've been a transplant since '92 and still consider myself a "Damn Yankee."" You certainly qualify as one... For those who've never lived in the south let me explain the difference between a Yankee and a Damn Yankee... A yankee comes south for a vacation, a damn yankee comes south and stays... As far as the OP's question: so far I have played only the allies, partly because of the variety of nations, ships and aircraft. Another reason is that I enjoy playing out desperate defenses, and certainly in the first year of the war this is what describes the allied play. I have played the first six months of the war several times against the AI, mainly due to restarts for new versions. When it came time to play PBEM, I advertised for a Japanese opponent mainly because I had never even opened the game on the Japanese side and so felt that this could give my opponent an extra advantage (my not knowing the exact capabilities of his units). I also happen to have a love affair with some of the USN and RN ships so I figure that my first time or two through the game should be on that side... In high school and college I often had to play as the Axis player in WW2 games, mainly because it was hard to get a casual player to take the other side. Now I have access to other diehard wargamers on this forum and so it is not necessary to do so just to find a game. I , acording to you Bradfordkay, qualify as a DAMN Yankee( I take it a s a compliment actually), and believe me, I have been referrerd to that phrase by quite a few here in Texas in my 4 years here so far. Living in Chicago, unless you were from Milwaukee or St. Louis, I never looked down on anyone. well texas is the greatest state in the history of the world(the rest of the 49 always drag us down. especially arkansas). Ok now that is some good stuff.. I play the USA.. er sorry, Allied... My country right or wrong, my country - Stephen Decatur . Now my fellow WITP/AE Forum- ites. IT may not be the nicest, it may not be the prettiest, it may not have the smartest folks on the face of the earth, and man its expensive - but you need to check out NYC, and if you want to do something really crazy, get a car, go up rt9 or the Taconic parkway and hed north 50 miles and enjoy the New York Highlands where i grew up- other side of the Hudson from West Point- and get as slice ( that is a portion of pizza pie to you non-NY’er heathens)
