Here is the screenshot. Set re-act to maximum. Let's play...

THAT would be kind of fun. Hit it with 19 CV/CVLs with over 1,100 aircraft...

Wonder what he has there?

Just want to note that this is INSANE! Therefore, it does have some appeal...

Unseen, you won't be able.

For all the rest, well then this depends on what CR have at Pearl Harbour.

BTW you could get close with a small party and fly a preparatory recon mission with the recon Judies...and if you could duplicate it somehow over other far different, and worthwhile, targets, so then CR may be reasonably unable to set appropriate defense on all of them.

Probably worth of doing even if you don;t pull the strike, just to propmt some dispersion of forces by CR...

I do know he has several CVL or a group of CVEs in the SE Pac. They would make a nice, little trophy in 1945.

Just to humor you guys, I am shifting two Glen Boats to PH.

Status: offline 		I was curious about something this morning and checked the thread count to find that Dan and I's AARs are now #1 and #2 all-time for hits. That is AMAZING and crazy.

Appreciate all of you. WE but heads from time-to-time but you are all valued. The people/players who jump in with strong opinions and/or criticism are appreciated eventually! This player tends to be a bit thick-headed.

Dan and I just had this exchange with our turns:

John III vs. Big Red will be fun to watch. I'll really enjoy reading your AAR and monitoring your exploits. And I'll miss our game once it comes to a close. It's been a long, wild, frantic, fun ride. It's been the most fun game I've ever played, easily. Just great fun. It will be strange not playing against you, but who knows what the future holds. Who knows?

After we finish our match, I'll probably devote my time to finishing up the game with Obvert. But it should be mid summer '44 by then, so it'll be drawing towards late game.

At some point, I'll probably look for another game to start from scratch. I haven't put out any feelers yet. It will be fun but also hard to begin again in '41. I will look for a forum regular - somebody I know; somebody's who's experienced and good. After what you and I have just been through, I can't imagine playing against a newb. It's too much fun "hunting wabbits," as you've been known to say.

In my career, I've played quite a slate of good and experienced players: John III, Miller, Q-Ball, Panzerjaager Hortlund, and Obvert. I'm pretty fortunate to have faced opposition of that sort.

But perhaps, somewhere out there, a member of the Swedish Bikini Team is an experienced AE player who, for privacy purposes, disguised herself as a male and is well known to all of us. My money is on Bullwinkle or Chickenboy.

My reply:

Your sentiments are well expressed and heartfelt. I feel the same way with all the years spent in this crazy campaign.

So many of the Forum do not understand the bonds that have developed between us. I can hear your voice whenever you wrote a detailed note. I know of your life, job, and family. Don’t think many players ever get that and let the game rise to the level that we have.

It is bittersweet to see everything winding down; however, I do look forward to a chance to play a new match where I can take all this new knowledge of the end-game and use it for the betterment of the Empire in my next game.

Dan and I thank you for the reading, commentary, and bonds...

It was a good thing I had already swallowed the coffee, or I'd be trying to clean up my laptop right now.

And yes, it is interesting how we can become friends by playing war. I read both your AAR and your opponent's so I don't comment on gameplay. But it is obvious you have grown beyond opponents in a game to a higher, more personal level.

There is a turn in my in box so I shall play it and then do a 5-6 comprehensive update.

Have you guys ever been on one of those day long stretches where no matter what plan you may have got getting stuff done--FATE conspires to keep you from doing it? That pretty much describes my last 3-4 days here. Constant crisis at the two stores and lots of chicken**** stuff to do have totally prevented me from getting anything done.
