Hi Roger, Nice work.[;)]

Roger Neilson -> RE: The Sun Will Never Set - A 2X2 PBEM (10/9/2005 12:19:08 PM)
Thanks, don't know if you mean the destruction to the Japanese for which credit must go to my co-commander or the styles of this AAR. I'm partially doing this as an alternative to the copy combat report style as I've particulalry liked the more narraive styles that are developing in one or two other AARs. It can give more of an 'imagined' flavour of what it may have been like. I do enjoy Wobbly vs herb, ens hanamato for example. I'm also taking the opportunity to force myself to master greater levels of digital imaging by setting myself little challenges and then learning how to do them in Photoshop. That is the Yura under all that smoke and fire but it was docked in China in 1937 in the original picture. You will see that I have jumped from straightforward text to adding graphics, to puttign the 'letters' and 'reports' onto paper as I have discovered more of what to do. I'm also impressed by the amazing knowledge of many of the writers of these AARs, so I'm just trying to keep up.... Cheers Roger

Hi Roger, Uhmm, I mean your style of the AAR. Of course your co-commander did very well.[:D]. How about some map screenshots etc to show your war progress if it is ok?[;)] Cheers! Patrick

Roger Neilson -> RE: The Sun Will Never Set - A 2X2 PBEM (10/9/2005 12:38:38 PM)
Well, at the moment screenshots of our progress are non existent its gritty defence on the menu at the moment.... and its notable that the Japs aren't posting any as they are, I guess, somewhat behind in their conquest of the world! What you may find in the next few days is that Sebastian will resurface again and his next letter might be interesting. At present reports indicate Brunei, Miri are lost, the malayan peninsula is cut and strong Jap forces are moving south. Forces are approaching Rangoon of 2 division strength. Northern Philippines are under attack and Clark is under daily pounding from the air. However elsewhere things are a bit nasty for the Japs, a counterattack at Canton has messed up their Hong Kong assault and they still haven't taken it. As far as Rabaul goes they were unpleasantly surprised by the stiff resistance of the allies there. Central Pacific has seen significant losses (as shown in the AAR) to their TFs bound for some of the islands. Maybe Scott will post soon, some of his stuff in the other AAR he does is really good. Cheers Roger

F. Scott Fitzgerald, eh?

Roger Neilson -> RE: The Sun Will Never Set - A 2X2 PBEM (10/15/2005 11:18:18 PM)
Ah yes, The Great Gatsby' a magnificent novel. There are other literary references in the thread too... Ex English teacher you see...... Roger ps, whereabouts in Denmark?

Terminus -> RE: The Sun Will Never Set - A 2X2 PBEM (10/15/2005 11:24:50 PM)
Heh, I noticed the Arthur Miller and Flashman references, too... I live in Horsens, about half an hour south of Aarhus, Denmark's second largest city.

Roger Neilson -> RE: The Sun Will Never Set - A 2X2 PBEM (10/15/2005 11:28:41 PM)
Ah I haven't been that far north, but I spent some time in Denmark both on holiday near Esbjerg and on a 'teacher exchange visit' near Odense. I loved the laid back aspect to life! Cheers Roger BTW Flashman has references to more than one literary writer.... if you interpret the lieterary in a wide sense. I have never made it to Aaarhus, a shame as I love Heaney's poem 'Tollund Man'

Roger Neilson -> RE: The Sun Will Never Set - A 2X2 PBEM (10/15/2005 11:32:10 PM)
Hartley L P ? Check for that one if you want to score the lot! Roger spellchecking works better before you have a saturday evening drink!

Well, added a new author to my list. Never heard of him before, but that's what Google's for!

Roger Neilson -> RE: The Sun Will Never Set - A 2X2 PBEM (10/16/2005 12:18:12 AM)
The Go-Between... a fantastic evocation of turn of the century Edwardian England.. 14 years before it all was destroyed in Flanders... Roger

Well now, the first day of a new year, and allied HQ have been pondering their maps to evaluate how well the Japanese onslaught is progressing. What follows is a series of maps from which all sensitive deployments have been taken.... walls have ears dontcha know? The red marker shows the extent of the Japanese conquests to date, a red area circled is an area taken but not securely joined to the rest of their empire yet..... Ok, careless lips sink ships....... 'George' Allied HQ.....

Roger Neilson -> RE: The Sun Will Never Set - A 2X2 PBEM (10/25/2005 12:10:37 AM)
An attack at Canton slowed progress here, Hong Kong fell on the night of the turn of the year. [image]local://upfiles/4633/09EDC90465FB4C74BD75CD9C8A32F6A9.gif[/image]
