Cloner, Hang in their pal! I remember blackouts in Costa Mesa and Long Beach when I lived there in the late 70s and in Vacaville in the early 80s. Funny how things don't change!
Always a good idea to rent an apt that has windows facing into the breeze!!

It was 102 here today.

I'm ready to concede this game after the loss of the invasion
fleet. Well played Sully, to come back after the loss of all 6
fleet carriers is an achievement.

Japan is about 20000 VP ahead with about 38000 to 18000
for the Allies. And with China gone I don't see any chance of
catching up.

Allied co-operation was not up to par in this game, I did not
realize Cloner had the ASW tech until I played his turn for him.

BTW I played the last turn and one of you Zeros out of Rabaul
intercepted a B-17 and shot it down!
 
Thanks Eric, I'd like to continue just for the heck of it to see the newer tech units...Do you want to give up your place to someone else?? Cloner..would you want to take over for Eric? It isn't so much about winning or losing for me but there are some things I wanted to look at in the extended game.

Let me know? And it was about damn time one of those slug Zeke pilots did something!!!!
Sully
 
well, I just got ASW about two turn ago.
If he really doesn't want to play then I could take over but the thing is I am finally going somewhere during the vacation, so I will be abesnet for the next thurday to tue. (of August). during that time I can't play.
 
Cloner, If you are up to playing the entire Allies then go for it. We can take a break during your vacation and continue upon your return. But only if you want to continue the game.
Sully
 
will, I will probably play until CW was overrun, since it's probably impossible for Japan to make a direct frontal assault on US and succeed. but for Allied if CW failed it's really over. So that's my plan right now.

Soldier, Sailors of the Allied Expeditionary Force, you are about to embark on a hopeless Crusade. The weight of this undefensible world in upon you. The enemy is well trained, battleharden and will fight furiously. I have absolutely no hope of winning. Good luck while you sit in your cockpit, compartments or foxholes that the Pacifics are dommed. I have one final request but to ask you to fight to your bitter end. That's all

Allied Commander of the Pacific and Overall Command of Austrilia and Indian Forces.
Signed .............
