ORIGINAL: Anachro However, I know many of us have secret little games of WitP going on that we love to hide away from the forums, but I don't like that. I want to read YOUR story! What is going on in your present game, be it against the AI or another player? No need to give a full update: you can post a sentence or two, or a paragraph, or even add pictures! Regulars with no AAR but games going on should post an update too. I'm on my 6th PBEM now-all as the Japanese. Some of my opponents have even survived! I'm playing the sons of heaven currently against Acepylut. Scenario 2, late September 1942. Japanese control much of the South Pacific, including New Caledonia and Samoa and the northern coast of Australia. Elsewhere, Burma is in hand and China is under pressure, but Acepylut (Darryn) has been putting together effective defensive arrays in the mountainous and rough terrain surrounding Chungking. A Japanese effort to invest Perth from Gerraldton was roughly treated and resulted in moderate losses of ground and support troops. VPs are about 3:1, but we will play through regardless of whether the (unlikely) autovictory conditions are met on January 1, 1943. Japanese naval losses have been very light. To date a small handful of Cls. Allied naval losses are more substantive, with California "Emily-ed" torped to death by Emilys near Adak. Idaho and New Mexico have been damaged by submarines, but probably not fatally. A goodly number of Allied Cls have been lost in the defense of the DEI and Australia mostly. There have been no CV:CV contests yet, but there have been a couple of close calls. Air losses on both sides have been very modest. Both sides seem to be marshalling their strength for the coming conflagration. Japanese research continues apace. It has completed the A6M5. Next month, Tojo IIc, Tony and Kate will come online. Jacks and Jills ([:D]) in about 3 months. George early-mid 1943. Frank and Ki-100-I mid-late 1943. We are both 'casual' players in our pace, probably getting 4-5 turns a week out. Both of us take time for family life and work, travel or whatnot. Things have worked out well and Darryn's a good partner with a similar mindset for the game and where it fits in with our lives. [8D]
