Enterprise was not present at Coral Sea and there both Lady Lex and Yorktown got hit so no hiding there. Either Eastern Solomons or Santa Cruz. However, at Coral Sea Zuikaku was hidden under a squall and Shokaku took the entire strike alone.

See post #49 in this thread. Enterprise was hit too, but it survived the first wave thanks to the extra flak boost from the BB operating with her. Bill

I am done as well. Never progressed beyond 20 December 1941 in my campaigns. Restarting feels good though. Imagine I had been Tojo - the war would have petered out in the first week.

That’s the hurtful part of a GC game. It has to be played out till the end. And if someone does a blivet, then that’s what it is. Most people twist the paradigm into a pretzel and then whine loudly when things don’t happen in accord with their view of some superluminal IRL. Too bad, so sad, your dad. There’s lots of opportunities to do short map scenarios to see what’s going on, but oh no, the forum wisdom is to dive in, get wet, get frustrated, go elsewhere, but they can’t really help you. Sounds like you need to find another game. You been around for a while and mostly whine about things. If you wish to go elsewhere, you are encouraged to do so.

Symon, I am teasing. I love WITP:AE. I promise to finish one GC against AI before year 2050.

quote: ORIGINAL: JeffK quote: ORIGINAL: rustysi quote: ORIGINAL: General Patton quote: ORIGINAL: geofflambert There was a historical battle (forget which one) where the Enterprise was operating with another CV (in the same hex in game terms) but was hidden by a squall when the attack came and the other CV took all of it. Midway, I think....GP No, it was during the Solomns campaigns. Santa Cruz I think. There was a thread not too long ago where this was discussed. I can't recall the name of it or anything, my memory is lame these days. Coral Sea No, Enterprise was not at Coral Sea. It was Santa Cruz where Hornet was hit while Enterprise was hidden by a squall.

I know how the original poster feels and don't blame him. My first campaign of AE I spent three days setting up my initial move and was all set to go. Then my f**king cat jumped up on the table and ruined the whole set up....Oh wait a minute. That was "War in the East" and happened 30 years ago. Never mind...

CR...wow....I thought I was the only fool to try that....actually the full War in Europe ... it covered half the basement and there was no way to reach the middle. Alas my cat and Gf conspired and destroyed it.

geofflambert -> RE: I'm done with this ridiculous time vampire of a game. (10/30/2014 10:12:43 PM)
One of my cats did that to me too. I don't remember what we were playing, but it was likely not store bought. Austerlitz maybe. We just did our best to put things back where they were.

wdolson -> RE: I'm done with this ridiculous time vampire of a game. (10/30/2014 10:25:17 PM)
I've had cats most of my life, but they tended to leave my games alone when set up. My mother on the other hand was about as graceful as Godzilla in Tokyo. She was one of the most clueless people I've ever known about where her body was. She had a lot of accidents as a result. It was a crap shoot leaving a game set up. Bill

rsallen64 -> RE: I'm done with this ridiculous time vampire of a game. (10/31/2014 12:41:59 AM)
I used to set my board games up in the basement, and the cat would always wreck them. So I bought some cat repellent spray, the kind you would use in the garden, and coated the steps with it...only to watch the cat walk down the stairs coughing and shaking his head, just damned determined to get to my games. I gave up after that.[:(]

Some of us let cats get away with stuff we'd never allow wives to do.[:'(]

I did a full campaign of War in Europe over the winter of 77-78. We had it setup in the basement of the local hobby store, and as it was my game, I got to be the Germans. Great fun - about 6-8 hours every Saturday. And sometimes I would stop in during the week just to plot and plan ...

Nicky Palmer, in his book about board wargaming, said he mounted War in Europe on a cork board and put it on the wall. And used push pins for the counters. Like he said, "How often are you going to play it anyway?"

Even though many Grand Campaigns never finish, both sides usually know who really "won" by the game end- whether somebody quit annoyingly or work got in the way or whatever. Its just whether or not they are willing to admit it... because people don't usually quit a game they are winning do they?
