Yep I know. I have contacted both Wildfire and Fionn but I don't plan on getting many answers.
About this one I guess you start to have experience. The good thing about this scenario is that it is "short".

Id be interested in giving this a try, but ask why 1.20. Im ok with 1.20 as I have multiple installs for several versions but I thought 1.22 was susposed to be better than 1.20 ?

Ill PM you my Addy

With a top-notch player in charge of Japan it can be very
short. If this is the case, the Allies best strategy is to stall
the enemy advance by destroying roads, rails and airports
while the US makes a beeline for the A-bomb.

Eric_A : yeah I hope you don't get Japan then

ChrisiusMaximus 1.20 because I mostly use it for the other PBEM I am in and when I tried to set up the different patches I got so many problems (that's my fault I acknowledge it) I had to reinstall everything...

@ wwhill : please snd me your e-mail adress ASAP by PM since yours is the only one I am waiting for before we launch.

@ wwhill : please send me your e-mail ASAP.

@ all: civs have been picked up, randomly.
As Eric_A said, a good player for Japan is a real danger. Good point for you, I won't be so much of a danger...
BTW if someone wants to exchange with me.....

wwhill, since I got someone else interested in this PBEM if you don't turn out with your e-mail by tomorrow, I will give him your position.

OK I change wwhill to Steph for USA.

wwhill if you come back you can register in the Napoleonic if you are interested and send me your e-mail or make it possible to contact you through CFC.

Sorry but did not want to delay...

First turn :

When the League of Nations was created, both England and the USA refused to have stated in writing respect of racial differences. This was all the more important for us that these imperialist powers kept on using their rude ways towards us, despite both our victory over the tall Russians and the help we provided them with against WWI Germany.

Since the USA have decided to impose an embrago on many products we desperatly need for our protection because they disapprove of our freeing and developping backwards China, we considered it the first step before direct aggression so we decided to strike first and make the arrogants white people know what it means to deal with the heir of Amaterasu.

Our two first objective were first to level the US agression force gathered in Hawai then to show Asian people they could free themselves from the imperialists whites (with our guidance) by taking Hong Kong. Our Chinese cousins were pretty happy to see white soldiers sweeping the streets while we cheered when two battleships were sunk by Zero pilots in Pearl Harbor. We expected a stronger blow but the result was not bad even if we lost a young Zero team. We captured Davao as well from the US because the Philippines are an Asian territory.
The English and Dutch have lost control of Phuket and Kudat as well as the oil fields of Brunei while the US surrendered in Guam and Chinese Imperialist employees were overrun by the people of Foochow who wanted to join us.
By practicing training exercises our paratroopers have realized they were actually good enough to approach cities in Sumatra and Sulawesi.

We are happy to know that the souls of the soldiers' of the SS-I - 32 (north of Prince of Wales) and of the destroyer Sazanamni (East of Wake) will be worshipped for ever at the Yasukuni shrine and that the souls of the people of the US SSTrout and Seawolf as well as of the BB Repulse will serve them in the afterlife.

Today, at dawn, the Japanese have cowardly launched an attack on our fleet in Pearl Harbour, without any declaration of war.
Several battleships have been severly damaged by this sneaky attack.
A ennemy cruiser has been sunk by one of our submarine, but the main ennemy fleet is still near Pearl Harbour. Emergency repairs are currently being done on our battleships, and then will soon retaliate!

Near the Philippines, a small naval battle between some Japanese and American destroyer has resulted in a draw.

The 7th of December 1941 is a said day for democracy, but the forces of Liberty shall prevail!

OK turn sent onto the Netherlands, I have nothing to report really this turn other than as you know the Japs have captured a city from me already. Mostly moved forces around and made sure I was producing what I most need.

One small success killed one Japanese Infantry unit outright with a Guerilla attack after a couple of Artillery hits.

Jap seems to have comitted several ground units to venture into our territories, we are hoping to deplete their hitpoints further next turn then wipe them out with Infantry charges.

We have no plans to move from our own lands at this time and will bne monitoring events as they happen.

Ive received various emails off you guys, so whats happening ?

Are we restarting, having a turn with no movement ?

lets get this baby moving, we shopuld manage a turn a day at least

BUMP Whats happening out there lads, do we got or game or dont we ?

I just got Eric_A's turn, we have decided to just freeze my move with the Netherlands, the rest continues. So turn up should be up and running very soon.

Turn 2 up and running.

Report :

The UK have adopted a double technic of "scorched earth" (they razed Kuala Lumpur before I could take it) and concentrated attack. A small combat between forces in the jungle East of Rangoon proved tough for our Armors but we inflicted damages and one loss to the ANZAC infantry. But we took Tarawa from them as a revenge for the murder of our paratroopers in Brunei.

A brief suspension of hostility between Japan and the Netherlands has occured.

China : the troops facing Nanning went back home for strategic reasons (!) while a battle on the SE outskirts of TaiYuan saw the destruction of a guerilla and infantry regiments. Our soldiers occupy the bunkers and practice their saber skills beheading the prisoners.

Our most important enemy at the moment is still the US. The heavily damaged fleet of Pearl Harbor tried to sneak to the South but we saw it (albeit late) and destroyed the BB Maryland and Nevada before the harbor, hoping they can actually block it. Our fleet moves after them but used most of its time destroying 3 submarines and 3 fighter squadrons around Honolulu.
A US SS (Argonaut) ambushed one of our destroyers NW of Hawai.
The other main field of battle against the US was the Borneo sea battle. As opposed to our "unity is strength" strategy, US and commonwealth destroyers practiced encircling technics : results 4 enemy destroyers sunk, Puerto Princess captured and various damages inflicted on Manilla.
Our glorious fleet is heading back to port to celebrate victory (= to heal). 2 other US SS were destroyed. From the wreckage we gathered they were US SS Pollock (standing at the entrance of the Palau lagoon) and Tambor (South of Midway).

turn 2 sent to Chinese

Report:

Couple of attacks by our submarines:
- near Saigon: already damaged Japanese BB Kongo destroyed by SS Storm.
- near Rabaul: DD Hiyodori sunk by SS Tireless

Oil fields near Saigon destroyed successfully by our bombers.

(means good job on your side, forgot about the oil fields).
