I don't have any near-term plans to return to AE, but there is one possibility in the longterm I'm chewing over, though I haven't approached the possible opponent to see if he'd even be interested; he might not be and, even if he is, I don't think circumstances would allow it for many months or longer. (Well, there is one other possibility - if Nemo shows up and issues an invitation, I think I'd bite; but I'm not expecting that to happen.)

Speaking of long lost folks like Nemo, what's become of Greyjoy of late?

His dad had a stroke and has been in a coma. He hasn't updated in a while.

Few things a Japanese player can do to improve "allied silent service" experience:
1) Do not use medium bombers on the ASW, only Float and Patrol planes (at least unless they have MAD)
2) Do not sail convoys larger than 5-10 ships - actually using several 5 ship convoys on CS trip would simulate heavy traffic on shipping lanes
3) Use only 2-3 escorts on 5-10 ship convoys
4) Sail some ships independently
5) In troop convoys use minimum lift for a division size unit - 3-6 big fast transports can carry a division... yet when one is sunk ...

- this way the patrolling submarines would get many more contacts => many more attacks => many more kills => less air interference

This would certainly get the allied submarine force a new importance, yet it would ruin Japanese player (as in reality). And I doubt anyone likes to have his ships being sunk.
