Bullwinkle58, Long time no see. Have you been hanging out with a squirrely character around Frostbite Falls visiting some wild relatives?

Yes, that's it exactly. [8D]

Has anyone named a ship for his cat?

In the game taken over by obvert I had a DD named for a former cat friend: USS Thomas O'Malley.

You don't have device pools to rebuild the Chinese army by mid-1942. They also take a couple of months to get to India. If Japan notices the bug-out they can pretty easily cut the RRs with tanks and paras. Ask Lokasenna how.

<t> I am no expert in the Stock #1 vs. #2 differences, but I've played them both in PBEM. I believe Japan gets a LOT of breathing room on economic resources in #2, especially in starting petroleum. Thus taking the major oil centers can wait longer in #2. And that has ramifications on where those "re...
