Children of the Gorn 821Bobo vs. the Gorn Empire

Post by geofflambert »

DaBigBabes version C with stacking limits and reduced cargo capacity. The usual preferences with PDU on.

I told him he could do anything he wanted on the first turn except order any attacks. Very little in the way of house rules except I requested that he desist from strategic bombing 'til his discretion told him it was ok. No firm date, so I guess that's not a rule at all. I specifically told him it was ok against targets in Thailand as they are allied with Japan.

Sunday Dec. 7, 1941. Dawn is breaking over Oahu and as is typical, nay de rigueur in Hawaii, boys are already playing baseball, even though it's Sunday, even though it's almost winter. The fireflies are flashing, the crickets are chirping, the kangaroos are hopping (yes they have them in Hawaii). It's baseball season, it's always baseball season.

All is perfectly sublime. Then something stirs. A periscope is spotted in Pearl Harbor.

Unfortunately for me, a USAAF Capn. Rafe McCawley dives in and patches the hole with some chewing gum.

Everything is quiet after that. The ball games continue. Packards drive around without having any planes try to drop bombs on them. It's not very long before the sun can be seen rising on the Japanese empire.

Hours later, a deck gun spits out fire with anger, near Malaya.

There is now no doubt that the United States is under attack. No doubt about who the attackers are.
