Do you hold Milne Bay and Buna? If so then retreating up the Kokoda trail could be a real option.

The Kokoda is indeed an option and some of my engineer and lesser HQs are moving that way. I've also withdrawn my Bettys and brought in a Tony unit to consolidate with the beat up one there. A group of barges is headed to PM in order to withdraw other assets. Fun fun. F4Us and 200+ 2E bombers is just not something I want to grind myself to death against. It's Sept. 43 and the attrition of my co-prosperity sphere has begun.

I think 9/43 is a good time to begin the withdrawl from PM. Of course, wherever you go and whatever you do that mass of corsairs and bombers is going to follow you...so you'll face them again at Lae, or Rabaul, etc.

If you're playing a human opponent, I often find it useful to make a big show of preparing to make a stand at a base...and then don't. Keeps them spending all kinds of time getting prepared only to find that no one is actually at home.

You forgot to do that at Noumea in the Threadwar, Chris.

I'm not convinced my guys at Noumea are actually going anywhere. I think they're going to be there a long time.

I have been termed by my PBEM opponents as something of a master at the fighting withdrawl.

What? No mad dash to Darwin screaming "RUNAWAY! RUNAWAY! RUNAWAY!" at the top of your lungs?

Well, it is situationally dependent. As the man says you got to know when to hold them and know when to RUNAWAY!!!

Any Thread Brothers that might be interested in fantasy football, and a chance to win a free Matrix Games download, check out this thread:

I'm already registered in the "standard" league, and hope to see some of my Brothers there as well.

All Hail THE THREAD!!!

Sweet! I hope Niceguy and Gem see this and get in before the league fills up. They both previously mentioned being interested. I know Brother Mynok is a huge college football fan, but I don't know if he cares about the pros enough to play with us.

To be honest, fantasy football just never really appealed to me...college or pros.

Only ten days until football starts........

Well, against my better judgement, I'm in. I get way too involved in FF. Couldn't pass up the chance to trounce my Threadbrothers though.

I'm saving something for you, NG.

Look at it this way. We're increasing the chances that one of our Thread Brothers will win a free copy of AE.
