ORIGINAL: Terminus Weinie... Weinie... Weinie... ...and I recollect that Termy is playing...exactly how many PBEMs???.....perhaps....NONE!!!! At least that is what I am seeing.... Of course, I could be mistaken; Termy, please correct me if I am wrong here. Actually, I'm still technically playing one, but it's currently on hold. Doesn't mean I can't rake Speedy over the coals when he's being a weinie... Hey, just because we are both busy at the moment, does not mean we won't get back to it. You take on my PBEM opponent you take on me Although, T can take care of himself I was drunk on Jaegermeister at the time; else I wouldn't have done it, and I was mistaken and stand semi-corrected. But, back to the chicken comment, I take it that you weren't in '44 when you went on hold; the situation then is actually tough in this 2by3 version of the sub war. The new model PC's that the IJN has are QUITE tough; take a peek at there stats, they have LOTS of the nasty Type 2 DC's. When a sub gets caught by a group of them, it's 50/50 that the sub will be damaged, sometimes quite severely. Any 2nd attack will finish it. With that, patrolling near IJN bases is difficult, as you can expect that a HK group will charge out when you get spotted, hit you and then run home to reload and repeat on the next spotted sub. So, you have to patrol in the open ocean, find the convoys and pack attack trying to empty the escorts racks. Plus, as Speed mentioned, with the situation in his simulation, there arent' that many worthwhile targets to go after now. I suppose his boats would be better used as lifeguards and picket ships for his fleet operations. Now, back to Speedy's war....sorry for the interruption
