ORIGINAL: Canoerebel John is fighting several morale battles. The first is the inevitable letdown following his SoPac raid (he loves raiding). The second is the prospect of committing his beloved navy in an unfavorable environment when I know he's likely to come (he loves raiding, not fighting set-piece battles at poor odds in places he didn't choose). The third is he's probably a bit of a control freak. If that's the case, he doesn't want the game to end on any terms but his. So he's either going to Banzai with his navy, ending it decisively...or he's going to drag things out for seventeen moons, with turns coming sporadically and possibly him conceding before Auto Victory is reached. Consider yourself lucky. I think I just had another opponent quit on me (turns every day, good communication, then nothing for the last week. No communication at all. I’ll give him another week before I declare it over – Allies win in Jan ’42, AGAIN!) Probably had something to do with me sinking 3 Baby CV’s and 5 DD’s in the North Pac, and 4-5 heavy CA’s and about 5-6 DD’s at Townsville all in a single day’s action. Not my fault he didn’t have any search of planes scouring Oz before he sent in an SCTF without any CAP to bombard Townsville, only to run into the Repulse, about 10 CA’s, 10 CL’s, and 30 or so DD’s. Not my fault he didn’t account for 2 of my heavy CV’s before he sent in some baby CV’s to cover an invasion force of Dutch Harbor (far far away from his 6 fleet CV’s) Sigh - so demoralizing to have “tried” to PBEM this game for years and years, and all I get are a bunch of quitters. And oh yeah, I see the quitter from before this match posting for an opponent in the “Opponents Wanted” section. I feel I should PM anyone that shows interest to warn them that once the Japanese Fun Time is over, be prepared for him to disappear.
