AlbA -> Reporting for duty.. (6/25/2004 5:21:30 PM)
I've been looking forward to the launch of WitP for what seems like ages and now it's nearly hear I thought I'd jump into the forums to feel the anticipation!! Being a noob here, I'm gonna need a glossary of terms or list of acronyms you lads use to understand a lot of what's being said but I suppose I'll get used to that.. or maybe I'll just crack the code? AF is having trouble with their water condenser! [;)] Not having played UV, this will be a whole new experience for me and one which I'm looking forward to. I'll have to follow the tutorials and gain experience over time with the AI but I can't wait to have the ability to take on a human opponent in this massive game. Niitaka Yama Nabore!

Mr.Frag -> RE: Reporting for duty.. (6/25/2004 5:28:03 PM)
A couple of quick terms that will probably throw you: LCU = Land Combat Unit (the grunts) LBA = Level Bombers Those are probably the two big ones that will come up and have you scratching your head wondering what people are talking about. The rest is pretty much normal names for things.

kaleun -> RE: Reporting for duty.. (6/25/2004 5:44:09 PM)
Wasn't LBA= Land Based Aircraft? Brad beat me to it[8\|]

Mr.Frag -> RE: Reporting for duty.. (6/25/2004 5:52:18 PM)
quote: Wasn't LBA= Land Based Aircraft? Yea, but it generally ends up being applied to the bombers. The shorter ranged aircraft or the torpedo pups always get called by their names.

ltfightr -> RE: Reporting for duty.. (6/25/2004 6:56:41 PM)
IIRC is another common one If I Remember Correctly

mbatch729 -> RE: Reporting for duty.. (6/25/2004 8:52:17 PM)
OK, it is has been way too long since basic training. Do the signal flags mean/spell anything specific?

Hirose -> RE: Reporting for duty.. (6/25/2004 9:09:00 PM)
Greetings Gents, Also a new guy. I have only been playing UV for about three or four months now! I love every minute of it and can't wait to dive into WITP! Three cheers for Matrix & 2by3, the last hope of die hard war gamers. Cheers Bill M.

Hirose -> RE: Reporting for duty.. (6/25/2004 9:26:25 PM)
Just noticed something! I have actually playing UV since September 03. Time flies when your having fun![:D] Cheers

mbatch729 -> RE: Reporting for duty.. (6/25/2004 11:15:27 PM)
Try May of 02!!! One of my PBEM opponents and I have been fighting various UV battles for 2 years in September. Now we get to start on the entire war!!! [:D]

madflava13 -> RE: Reporting for duty.. (6/26/2004 12:33:52 AM)
PH - Pearl Harbor PM - Port Moresby GG - Gili Gili (probably won't be used too much anymore) SRA -Southern Resource Area KB - Kido Butai Death Star - when the IJN player puts all his CVs in one Task Force and cruises around kickin ass and taking names (also likely to disappear in WiTP) HI - Heavy Industry FT - Fast Transport

Axis Fanboy = Brady = someone who believes that the Axis should have won the war and any competently designed game will reflect this through the use of wonder weapons and experience premiums. Allied Fanboy = mdiehl (interchangeable with Allied Fanboy). Someone who believes any alleged Axis success is revisionist history. If war starts on December 7, a competently designed game will have the Allies in Tokyo by Christmas - sooner if the Allied player is any good. HRMRO = Highly Respected Middle-of-the-Road Opinion = anything I write on the forum. PPs = Political Points. Somewhat of misnomer, these are closer to operations points. You pay PPs in order to shift certain units from one command to another. In effect, prevents you from moving too much too quickly around the map.

Having played UV since it came out ive only just started now wanting the added challenge of a Human opponent over the AI.

TheElf -> RE: Reporting for duty.. (6/26/2004 4:56:37 PM)
When arrrre you highlanders going to get it. The only way you are going to thrrrrow off yurrrrrr Anglish lorrrds is af youuu UNITE THA CLAAANS! Quit thas petty squabbling amongst yurrrrselves for tha tablescrrraps of tha Anglish..... What do you think? A little over the top for a post? Did my Scottish accent come out at all? It's really good...[:D]

Now, to get back to petty squabbling; aye 52nd Lowland, it might take me a few months for me to get up to speed but that sounds like a good idea! I knew I should have chosen The Highland 51st as my nick!! [;)]

[;)] Think it will take a while for me also especially the production and research side of WitP which seems to be quite a heavy subject to understand judging from previous posts.I wouldnt worry about playing PBEM against me cause i aint never done it,too busy spanking the AI in Uncommon Valor.

ltfightr -> RE: Reporting for duty.. (6/26/2004 5:30:20 PM)
I will spank the AI around for a while and the PBEM. It has added a lot to UV. My only concern is going to be it will be to easy to mess up a game as japan by overlooking something simple that kills you.
