Wow, that sucks. 75F and sunny today. "Cold" front blew out much of the humidity too, so it's wonderfully pleasant.

How do I know that last bit of intel? Because they all just just showed up to jump me. Got off lucky and the Hellcat had a fine combat debut against the IJN hordes, but the Essex and Belleau Wood are going into the body and fender shop. My counterstrike failed to land any meaningful hits, but at least he's lost a lot of aircrews.

What's the date in the war, Allied dog?

ETA: Are you sure about ALL of the Unryu class? Kasagi, Aso and Akoma aren't scheduled to be available until May/June/June 1945. These would be difficult to accelerate much before mid-1944 at the earliest.

ETA: Just for grins and giggles, what sort of aircraft were they flying?

One of the curiosities of the ship acceleration model is that it pulls forward the default organic aircraft type (and number) on board the ship per the database. I find it interesting that one can accelerate (a handful) of A6M5c aircraft by pulling their ship forward faster than they can through the conventional aircraft research / acceleration model. Not complaining, I just thought it was interesting.

HA! that's nothing. I forgot to limit the range of my Netties and they flew out beyond the escort range of my fighters and got slaughtered. WITP-AE is NOT like rideing a bike, you DO forget a lot.

We have anywhere from 20-40 persons with locals coming as they can. Great location, great folks, great gaming. Sorry I can't keep my usual eye on this location to keep the fodder tyranny from rearing it's ugly head, but you guys are more than capable!

We just crossed into 9/43.

Not all of them, I was exaggerating for effect. Unryu, Amagi and Katsuragi were definitely there, flying late-rung Zeke, Judy and Jill. He's poured everything into those, I think. Haven't seen either of the Yamatos yet, for instance. I asked him jokingly where the Taiho was and he said that she was too expensive to accelerate.

Problem is not with the acceleration model (which is kinda BS overall, but there we are), but with the assignment of air groups to individual ships.

An old rugby injury or the result of your chronic pain in the neck supervisors?

Welp, just listed our house on the market. Open house is Sunday. Place is clean as a whistle. Here's hoping for a quick listing, a good offer and a clean closing.

Now the fun part really begins-trying to keep it clean with two cats, a dog and two kids home from school for the summer.




WU has gotten the idea somewhere that we should get a condo. Dear Thread I am not looking forward to home ownership.

Went to a wedding for two musicians my wife plays in a orchestra with. They had brides maids in various rainbow colors. They were in order from left to right Red, Orange, Blue, Yellow, Green, Violet. I think I was the only one that was bothered by this order. If only blue had moved two to the right...

Remember all that money you used to have? Alright, maybe not, but it's still a money hole. To be trumped as a money sink hole only by kids. House AND kids? Whatareyou? Nuts?

PS. Good to see your hide, Comrade Red Mouse. Don't be a stranger.
