Here is the AAR that just made Feinders heart stop temporarily. We were on the phone and I was telling him the results of the combat as it occurred (since the 001 file replay is bugged...see other post) and I think he almost DIED. So did I for that matter. But of course, it all turned out OK for him in the end. Bah! You will see it in the close to Port Moresby combat that occurs. I sure wish it had gone the other way. Oh well, BITE ME FEINDER!!!!
