Take your time. I just saw on CNN that they found Ripples from the Big Bang in the Cosmos. I haven't had a Ripple since the 70's and am going out to find a Cosmos buy up the Ripple before anyone else sees that CNN newscast.

Saggy is bad. Especially when native-womans is eighteen. I think some photographer for Nat Geo took those pictures 100 years ago and we keep seeing the same tribe.

krishub1 and I wish to combat you two (symbolic slapping of your face with goatskin gloves). Do wish to discuss HR? We would prefer you did not invade San Francisco until after 1 Aug 42. Prior bombing by air is permitted.


Cool, so did you lads actually ccordinate already? I will send a coded message to Admiral Lord Sprior over the CRX 117-A.


What should we use? Expanded map? Da Babes? Stacking limits?


Pretend I haven't read the manuals on these things.

Yes, we are each going to do the things we like to do and hope you don't notice that we have done nothing in China, North Pacific, India, DEI, SWPAC, Australia and New Zealand. I will ship stuff from somewhere and he will ship stuff from somewhere else. That way, you and the Good Lord Sprior will get stuffed from two ends (also known as spitted as on a barbecue spit, not what the English call hawking). Real men do not read manuals. I personally cut out labels from the Wine Enthusiast rag and paste them to bottles of Boones Farm. I do not read the magazine. It does have pretty pictures. I also like Nat. Geo. especially when they have a special such as topless Girls of the Jungle.

We are good for the DaBigBabes (I like 28B, 28C is good too but lots more keystrokes due to reduced loads on cargo ships but I have never run out of anything) with Extended Map. I have found stacking limits to be a real pain but it is not a deal stopper. The problem with stacking limits is in China. Once a Chinese stack is retreated, it always retreats to a hex with a bunch of other units there and you can figure out the rest. Wait, we are ignoring China.

We can work out HR through emails. I prefer as few as possible. That way I don't forget them.


I'm good for DaBigBabes 28B or 28C with extended map and stacking limits. I assume we'll start with the latest beta?

When I said I didn't read the manuals I wasn't kidding. Where do we find 28B or 28C and extended map?

Neither my esteemed PBEM mate and I are big on HR. Just a few might do such as:

PPs for restricted units
no strat bombing in China or DEI
Only one port strike first turn.

Lots of people like various HR for air combat. We could consider using Symon's new air data files which limit some altitudes etc thus no need for HR here. Here is a link: tm.asp?m=3460200

Looks like I'm going to have to step up my practically non-existent forum game to stay with this crowd. Maybe I'll get out of Trooper status!!

Just one other HR - allies not to form any new TFs on turn 1.

I'm up for that, otherwise it's a pain trying to remember what planes can do what and with the best will in the world you can't do that.

To summarise then:

Da Babes Scn 28B with stacking limits, extended map, new Asia roads.

PDU ON

Symon's new air data files which limit some altitudes etc thus no need for HR here. Here is a link: tm.asp?m=3460200


The latest beta: 1123x4

HRs:

PPs for restricted units
No strat bombing in China or DEI
Only one port strike first turn.
Allies not to create new TFs turn 1 but may freely move those currently on map.

All agreed?
