Thank You for taking me on. I will honor this with giving it my best shot; play fair for the enjoyment of the game, celebrate any success however small it might be
and take the invariable incoming blows on the chin – or where ever you might aim. Reflect on them and plan my next move better.

I am confident in the Imperial cause as we all know our Death Poems & strong Samurai Spirit to be superior to Big Band & Bourbon
– however enticing it is to hear the soothing voice of Jo Stafford singing for Tommy Dorsey in Youngstown, Ohio 1941 in the last days of peace.

You have asked for your opponent to do a reverse AAR, and I will open one up. It will not be an extensive one with a blow for blow account, but
It will be on the Grand Tactic and Strategy I intend to implement. The intension is to supplement your AAR with “Another side of the Hill “ view.
As your AAR of course will be out of bounds for me, people should be free to ask me to comment on events as they unfold
– like “What on Earth made you do that, when you in your mission statement has said you would do the exact opposite”.
I trust people here enough to not pass Intelligence to either side.

I will now go into Planning mode as I know to have a difficult task ahead of me. But I find comfort in these words :

Everybody said the job couldn’t be done.´
But he gritted his teeth and set to it,
He tackled the job that everybody said couldn’t be done.
- and he couldn’t do it.

Hope the Twits remain employed at Zulu HQ and have not been reassigned to Iceland.  Their work output is indispensable to deciphering Allied operations.  Laughter is the best remedy for the Allied malaise in 1942.  Not to mention their cypher code cannot be broken by the enemy, or even on occasion by Zulu HQ itself.

You're NEVER to old to Rock-n-Roll. [:D]

Good luck and try not to get your CVs sunk in the first 90 days.



zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/13/2015 10:10:43 PM)

Thank you two for the send off. I am looking forward to another adventure. Now that I just watched an hour of music videos from a time when hair grew in all the right spots I will Rogaine, err regain my composure. "He never could slow down".

I dedicate this AAR to Ray who wore his trouser cuffs to tight.

Is that Ron Jeremy? [:D]

monitor wipe please.

Good to see you back in the captain's chair! Good luck! [:)]

My God, I will I be battling Ian Anderson?



Bif1961 -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/14/2015 8:16:15 PM)

It is the pide piper calling all to this AAR. [:D]



zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/14/2015 10:53:18 PM)

We may have a pre-turn issue. This is what my intelligence screen looks like from a test turn received by my opponent.

zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/14/2015 10:56:00 PM)

While lack of intelligence has been a trademark of Zulu HQ, I don't need any more help proving it.



ny59giants -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/14/2015 11:54:20 PM)

In a PBEM, those are missing until second turn. Remember some players have the variable reinforcement set to 15 or 60 days.



zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/15/2015 12:45:07 AM)

Thanks NY! I thought we were using fixed, I'll wait for turn#2.



witpqs -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/15/2015 12:54:56 AM)

Doesn't matter if it's fixed or not, those buttons don't show before the first turn resolution.



Quixote -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/15/2015 2:10:08 AM)

I'm also glad to see you doing another AAR, Zulu. After all, someone has to represent Maryland in this sub-forum, don't they? Good Luck as always, sir!



KenchiSulla -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/15/2015 7:46:15 PM)

Good luck and enjoy Zulu!



Skygge -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/16/2015 12:24:53 AM)

Damn I always forget how tasking a first turn is, so much to take into account.

Events now sat in motions file sent. Where it will lead I have no idea. After the planning comes the doubt.

I will bow out of this AAR.

Gentlemen /bow



witpqs -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/16/2015 12:40:36 AM)

The good thing about how bad the first turn is, it makes you forget how much worse the second turn is. Until the second turn.



zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/16/2015 2:31:16 AM)

double post, I'll use it to ask about the BigBabesADec7start we are playing. I'll wait to post images after turn two but replacement a/c particularly CATs looks real low for the whole war something like 8 a month for the 5 model.

Intel Monkey looks to be working and I hope to advertise this feature.

I may switch to the new maps, topo s, but for now I'll stay stock as its easier for me to do things in Gimp and paint.

Quixote, Herr Cannon, thank you. I'm looking forward to a better strategic game out of myself. I have a solid grasp of the air war and understand naval Ops far better now so hope to concentrate more on the big picture.



zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/16/2015 2:31:20 AM)

[:D] The turn is away. I gave orders to task forces at sea and the Chinese. I ordered a base force to Tienshui to allow aircraft to stage south, the rest was the general "run for the hills" kind of thing. I will look over Alfred's suggested China defense and see if I want to drift in that direction over the weekend. Force Z was ordered at flank south south west. The cruiser at sea was ordered to Palambang at flank as well. Other than that it's time to chew stones and see what happens. Oh yeah, US cruisers in the PI are ordered SSW. I hope he is using PPs as the first map below is scary with all the little arrows. I mentioned it in an email with the turn.

Following this AAR as usual buddy



zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/17/2015 5:05:43 PM)

Hey Joe, good to see you around. I know Koniu is keeping your hands full.

EDIT: 1941 (DOH!)



ny59giants -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/17/2015 5:59:43 PM)

Since Manila felt KB's sting, then you can probably expect a rapid conquest of SRA/DEI in the weeks ahead. [:(] I would have any AV, AVP, or others with Aviation Support to be headed west asap along with lots of PBYs to see what's up.

And if the IJN is going to be active in the DEI, and the Strait of Malacca is presumably closed by bombers, refugees from the Philippines should go down between the islands and then break NE between Pagan and Iwo Jima on their way to Midway or Dutch Harbour for fuel. Fuel can be sent out to meet whatever ships make it past the Bonins/Marianas gap.



DOCUP -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/17/2015 11:47:54 PM)

Not just Koniu, Family and work. If the KB is in DEI, raise hell with your CVs in CentPac or maybe a deep raid.



zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/18/2015 1:29:25 AM)

Well he took Tarawa today and I probably could have intervened with Halsey. I played it conservatively. On the 8th I ordered a return to Pearl at flank by both carriers and put the kitchen sink on ASW. I am getting some ideas though as I may have 30-45 days to play a little in the Pacific.

Thanks to George we have highly organized intelligence.

**This is a cut and pasted portion of Intel Monkey. While only two days exist in the files, you can see how sortable certain
actions are which may be of interest to me. I think this will be make SigNet a more valuable asset moving forward.**

ps. Thanks for your patience with me sir.



DOCUP -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/18/2015 2:16:37 AM)

I see Wake on the target list. Do you have anything in the area? Or could you get something in the area?



KenchiSulla -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/18/2015 8:19:45 AM)

Was it a full KB strike on Manila? No carriers detected elsewhere?
