vM v. Drakken - WitP PBEM

[Drakken]

Just to advise you, I will be out of town and away from my computer this weekend. This leaves you two more days to fuck up the Japanese war plan on December 8th. 

[Baron von Schtinkenbutt]

The Kwantung Army paying PP to pull troops from Manchuria makes sense, as the Imperial Army was very reluctant, if not outright hostile to the Navy when asked to send more Army divisions outside of Manchuria to support Navy ventures.

The rest is straightjacking nonsense.

I was going to follow that rule anyway.  I always do, even in my AI games.

OK, I was starting to feel bad for taking so long.

Maybe I just didn't try to go far enough, but the signup process seemed to be working?

I got the jre 6 from an old computer.  Thanks for the steer.  It seems to be working now, though I still can't quite figure out if the Japanese engine production is where it should be.  Kind of a pain in the ass, that is! 

[Drakken]

With that said I still hope to have something when I come back tomorrow evening.

You will.

Turn 2 sent.

Any interest in moving to the next beta, released yesterday?  The changes do not seem compelling enough to me, but if you want to stay current that is fine.

Received.

Aside from the following I see no reason to change :

27/07/2013: 1123p - Port/AF attack only against bases

I hope Force Z wins.

[Drakken]

Wow, and I thought TLG had a bad start in our last PBEM game, but you managed to pull an even worse December 7th, man. I feel bad about it.

I hope Force Z wins.

Force Z wasn't even scratched by the gaze of a flying Jappo: Force Z hasn't even been sighted. Operation Dunkirk is a complete success.

In fact, the US Navy Department reports only the loss of a destroyer and an armed merchant cruiser in that backstabbing, dastardly attack by Japan on December 7th, 1941. The damage done to the US Pacific Fleet was mediocre at best, and Neil will be happy to know that all of the US battleships, while more or less damaged, are safely afloat. Only one cruiser and three light cruisers were lightly damaged.

These losses are unacceptable, and Japan will pay the maximum price and be sent to Kingdom Come for the poor sailors of the USS Downes and Crossbill.

A day which will live in infamy, indeed.

Well, maybe we'll get a proper Pacific War rather than a silly affair with aircraft flying around willy-nilly.  A clash of battlelines.

Ugh.  War Plan Orange.

You mean "Yay!  War Plan Orange!"

War in the 1920s would have seen the glorious USS Wyoming in a line of battle.

Not if they could help it.  Wyoming and Arkansas were pretty outdated by then, although I suppose quantity has a quality all its own.
