just the usual heads up that it’s fiscal and quarter month end so I’ll probably be spotty for the next five days or so, usually around Wednesday or Thursday to catch up.

Not much hope of a recovery at this point, but I’ll continue playing a bit longer.

I actually like the “japan retreat to z6”, but I wouldn’t repeat the attack on the US unless Germany was going for Sea Lion.

Still not sure if a Hawaii > Aussie attack has any merit.

I was more worried about the Hawaii-Aus attack…I didn’t anticipate an attack on WUS.
If Japan would have moved on Aus right after taking Pearl they would have had a good chance of taking it since it was early in the game and Aus was extremely weak. If you combine that attack with a defensive strategy in China then I think that would give Japan a good chance at winning the game.

[Seador]

Given the problems I’m having playing from my work PC and the state of the game, I’ll fold my tent on this one.

Sorry it was such a bummer match, I don’t think I challenged you at all in this one.

You’re play has improved a lot since we started last year!

[captainwalker]

Oh it wasn’t a bummer match…it was a challenge for the US and it would have been a few more rounds before they would be able to retake Hawaii.
Let’s start another one when you have time!

OK, I’m game for a rematch.  I have to sort out my PC issues and then I"ll let you know.

[captainwalker]

sounds good. I have to upgrade my OS so I’ll be doing that the first part of this week.

[captainwalker]

I’m all set…let me know when you want to start!
