Three pages and maybe three posts on strategy and tactics.[:D]

No turn.[&:]

What are you going to do with Force Z? How will you keep it alive?

If you don't plan to fight with her, a run to the base two or three hexes south of Singers and disbanding into port (set do not refuel) is a good way to hide -- with your tail between your legs (like the name of this AAR).

Then again, you could do the manly thing, or should I say the Viking thing, and rush Force Z to Sinkiawing and slug it out. Probably a carrier or two there, but you never know, and it is better than running and hiding.

Probably depends upon how much you have had to drink while you do the turn -- doesn't it.[:D]

PS: Clean out your pm.

Now thats a blast from the past, used to get very drunk on that at University in Newcastle.

I stopped drinking it when I woke up on the floor of my student digs, having the last memory of being on a dancefloor on "The Boat".

Obviously this was before wife, kids, WITP:AE, job, mortgage etc!

A little bit of "strategy and tactics" to appease poor Lowpe! [:D]

I have a clear vision of what I want to accomplish in 42. Iīve set my goals and that will govern most of what I do during 42. Iīve tried to look at what Iīve done previously and donīt repeat that. I think I have a solid idea that will put some serious hurt on Japan. But I will of course have to react on what Olorin does. I have a finite pool of resources and while I would love to pour everything from it into my little project thatīs not going to happen.

I wasnīt joking when I said "Iīll wing it when I get the turn". As the allies you canīt do much on the 1st turn. I can only move existing TFs and China basically. Non of that needs much prior figuring out. Force Z is of course something that needs some pondering. But Iīll do what I always do. Go by the guts. Failed last time but I might get it right this time. Up? Down? Left? Right? [:D]

42 will in large be dictated by Olorin. While I can dream about launching something major in mid/late 42 reality have to ultimately govern my actions. Most likely I will spend most of 42 fighting for my life in OZ. Olorin has been there. He knows how it works and I bet he will try to match or even better his success against Michael there.

But its too early too tell. Perhaps in early January the pattern will be clear enough to tell his overall plan.

PS. I canīt believe no one caught the reference in post #64. What are you? Neanderthals? [:D]

I can offer limited advise right now. For some 'dumb' reason I've got two games as Allies going on... Its not the fact that I have two, but both are playing BTS 'lite' with John 3rd kicking my butt all over the eastern Pacific in Feb 42 and then against 1EyedJack (very first PBEM opponent)in late Dec 41. Its hard to keep morale up for two games at this stage vs having one in late 42 or beyond to get some positive feedback. Thankfully, weather saved Sara and Yorktown from being crushed by KB in Gulf of Alaska. [8D]

Good luck! Your turnaround should be fairly quick, right? Can't move much.
