Feinder -> RE: multi players (1/11/2005 8:08:52 PM)

FWIW, being in the team game with LtFighter/KBullard vs Me/Knavey Knavey is USN and Canada, and I'm basically everything else. For about a 3 weeks, he thought I was running China, and I thought he was running it (nobody was). But since it impacted India/Burma as such, I took it over (wish I hadn't). I -can- do it, but handling Oz, DEI, India -and- China is just a little much. Knavey is my brother, and lives in a nearby town, so we can easliy get on the phone an argue over the situation for an hour or so. That's an advantage over KBullar/LtFighter, because they probbaly have to resort to email, and don't have the luxury of knowing each others schedules, so they're probably limited to a short email or two discuss current/future ops. Still, we had some interesting tug-o-wars. SWPac region is truely annoying, because it's on the border of commands. I'd say creates a realistic feel for the historical situation. Again, Knavey is USA. I'm everybody else (so therefore own Oz). Feinder = Ok, so I'll have conceed East Oz to SWPac, altho but don't have PPs to convert it. Feinder = So why am I garrisoning it? Feinder = And Port Moresby for that matter? Knavey = Because you have troops there already. Feinder = But I want YOUR troops there. I want to use MY troops to whack LtFighter up-side the head. Knavey = I need transports. Feinder = Are you kidding? You've got a billion transports. Knavey = They're hauling stuff from the West Coast. Feinder = I sent you 30 transports last month. Knavey = KB clobbered half of them near Canton Island. Feinder = Not my fault. You shouldda sailed further south. And her Majesty will be sending you a bill by the way. Knavey = I've got guys about 10 days out, they'll be ready to be deployed in about 2 weeks. KB is patrolling Oz coast by the way. Feinder = You think so? Maybe that's why I just had 80 Zeros show up over Port Moresby. Why am I still there by the way? Knavey = Because I'm on the way. Feinder = And my crappy fighters are gonna help your P-40s how? Which they totally sucked by the way. Tell 'em to get out of the o-club and practice their gunnery a little more. Knavey = Your crappy fighters are better than nothing. Feinder = No, it's NOT better than nothing. Nothing -IS- better than nothing. Don't feed the KB! I'm not throwing them away against his Zeros. Feinder = Not to mention your B-17s didn't do squat. I told you they wouldn't fly. I want your guys off my AFs sooner than later, so I have room for my own planes. You Americans are like the frickin' creeping doom. You get on the continent, and take the whole place over. Knavey = By the way, there's an enemy TF north of Luganville. We need your fleet from xxxx, how fast can you make it? Feinder = Where is YOUR fleet? We used MY fleet to intercept the Rabaul Op. Your CAs only showed up for the closing act. That was -my- cruiser group you "borrowed" again at Ndini, to protect YOUR PBY base. Luganville is your base (oh wait, MY guys are still on the ground there, bah). Use your own fleet. Knavey = We need your fleet, because it has radar. Mine doesn't. Feinder = What good is your fleet good for then? Knavey = Escorting my carriers. Feinder = And where are they...? We actually do play quite well together (have a game with the two of us vs. U2 also). But like I said, there can be some interesting "discussions". My suggestions for two allied players : UK, Dutch, Oz/NZ USA, Canada, China You'll probably get conflict in SWPac and China, just like we do, simply because they heavily impact the shared situation. or UK, Dutch, China USA, Canada, Oz/NZ Here the zones impact each other less. But the UK player might get a little bored after DEI falls. I think LtFighter/Kbullard have theaters set up for Japan. Something like a line from Japan to Truk to NG and points east is one, and points west is the other. Not sure who does China for them. -F-
