With the Old Breed: RA 4.5 Allied Side
Life and turns are pretty slow for the summer so I have decided to start a new campaign against Viperpol. I know very little about him and his style of play so this should be highly interesting!
For this game I intend to DEFECT and play the easy side: THE ALLIES! My beats beats for Dai Nippon but my job here is to demonstrate how Reluctant Admiral is not just for JFB. One can expect the unexpected in this match.
Am leaving the Thread open for Viperpol to comment upon...

OK. Viberpol (Spelled correctly now) has elected to not place a Post here so it is now closed to any form of superior taunting and/or peeking by my Japanese opponent.

Banzai! Err, good luck.
It does get confusing doesn't it?

Oh goody. This is going to be fun. Can I reserve me a seat in the front row. [:D]
RE: With the Old Breed: RA 4.5 Allied Side
Have got to get ready for work but will simply say that my aggressive style of play will continue onto the Allied Side. Unlike Japan---I have an ENDLESS supply of ships, planes, and troops. Every plane and ship within the DEI is considered to be expendable. The Allies will seek to bleed Japan at every step and, when possible, deliver a bloody nose.
Guarantee this: CV Enterprise shall speed west to save the Marine F4Fs and then head SW to smack shipping at Truk. CV Lexington, which starts RA near Pago Pago covering a reinforcement convoy, will move towards Luganville and move to rendezvous with Enterprise.

I know from your postings in other AARs that you are one of the most knowledgeable players/modders and I have been hoping you would start one of your own. Will be following this one - an early strike on Truk: great theatre!

RE: With the Old Breed: RA 4.5 Allied Side
This should be fun. We are having some issues getting Turn One going due to Viberpol accidentally leaving SS Ops on Automatic and Realistic R&D ON. OOOPPS!
I shall await Turn One to see if clobbers PH with all six CVs or splits them. RA allows for the KB to be split into two Warp Speed TF. Usually I drop four into PH and two hit Manila. His choice will tell me something about his game immediately.

Hi John,
Can I ask what you settled on for house rules?
I look forward to watching the battle. Do you know if Viberpol plans a complimentary AAR?

CR

Looking forward to this.

Even you play the allies....Good luck John [:)]
RE: With the Old Breed: RA 4.5 Allied Side
We're finishing up the HR right now. He likes less then more and I tend to like HR so it has been a bit of give-and-take. Viberpol also wants to run the Turn One as is without doing a new to correct the issues so I guess we'll get started. Having Realistic R&D I think is TERRIBLE for Japan but he wants to roll with it...

RE: With the Old Breed: RA 4.5 Allied Side
Realistic R&D on is not bad. It isn't Historic R&D, just means he can not move R&D factories to production and visa versa.
I think that the two obligations you have are to be good at what you do and then to pass on your knowledge to a younger person
RE: With the Old Breed: RA 4.5 Allied Side
I just issued my orders for Turn One. Nothing exciting.
Set some air units to rest so morale can begin climbing. Ordered most Fleet TF in DEI to Soerabaja. Enterprise to close on Wake. Lexington to Luganville.
We'll see how his moves declare intentions on Dec 7th...

Subscribed. Look forward to seeing your approach to a strategic problem of your own construction from the other side of the fence......
