Let's see missed an update.
I really screwed up the 22nd turn. After spending hours on it, setting up a 300 plane strike at Port Blair and destroyer raid there, retrenching my planes in the West Coast I sent the turn off to Jocke and forgot about it.
Then checking my email later, I see that I had two posts from Jocke...I didn't do an end turn send, so I thought I merely saved the game and didn't click end turn and save.
My bad, and since I am running slow I opened the turn, checked on one thing that I thought I did last, and ended the turn and sent it promptly to Jocke.
Oops. In reality I save the first and proper turn to a different file number, and sent Jocke a turn with about 5 minutes worth of orders in it. No attacks in the west, which judging by the replay would have done really well as there was no air CAP over all Jocke's juicy APs. No destroyer raid.
In the West Coast my ships don't move, so no bombardments, etc and Jockes Jugs come screaming in and get a 9-1 or so kill ratio.
Argh.
Ok, not the end of the world...today I send my destroyers in at Port Blair (but since the base fell yesterday, the Allied ships are gone, my 300 betties don't fly, nor my 100 Lilly DBs).
Then to add insult to injury, Jockes killer CL task force closes during the night with portions of the mini KB and in two fights does wonderful work savaging them and sinking one outright with others in danager of burning up to a crisp. His TF threaded between destroyer scouts to the north and hit paydirt.
The Hei and Ise and Tone Task Force that is hanging out in this area, anticipating such a move, diverted back to Pearl to refuel another careless lack of a click on my part and there are even oilers following them. Yuck.
Well done...I doubt his ships are sunk, but you never know. [&o]
And then, after having the baby carriers savaged, a Yank sub fires off a spread on the Akagi...but misses.
Two poor days, I cannot wait until I get one game going again. Two is clearly way too many for me as all I have done is screw up in the last several weeks.
And then Jocke flipped the turn while I slept and the ball is back in my court. At least the DNC convention is over and perhaps I will regain some time lost.
Time to knuckle down and think things thru, and click on them. I am my own worst enemy here. [sm=00000007.gif]
