PBEM - WW II - sid level against japan-AI

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Or as another suggestion try another of the Conquests. The Napolean scenario rocks too

[smellymummy]

that sounds fun

as for this game I'd prefer not to play anymore. although if you're all dead set on it, then I'll play along. theres only a few cities left anyway ...

[Paddy]

I too would like to finish this game, then get into another of this scenario, with a player as Japan

[Paddy]

and I will treat the player - as a player - my issues with the Japs during WWII are my issues


my bloodlust


my rage


my own need for the vengen....

/me pours another whiskey

ahh it is all good

[sabrewolf]

edit: forget it... i'm too slow

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Hiya Paddy glad you could make it to the party

[Paddy]

well the total destruction of the Jappa Home Islands would look good

so do we start a new game....?

any suggestions on the other player

[sabrewolf]

japan has given up and surrendered, but dutch troops have still come across a lot of defending forces. somehow, japanese military scientists have modified japanese flak cannons to be very effective against dutch combat engineers! both our CE units nearly lost to some weakened anti-aircraft units... surprising!

but...formosa has fallen!

and to make the psychological shock for the japanese even bigger: all captured cities were renamed to names of dutch football clubs! we were inspired by the yankeestanis who renamed tokyo into "13th fleet base" or something similar!

our next mission is okinawa! the other alternative "saishu" wouldn't work as we have too few marine units ready for action! and we'll leave the japanese main island to our american friends. so please, dear allies... leave us the joy of capturing okinawa and please bomb away that nipponese infantry guarding the radar tower

we want to thank the commonwealth for giving us better tanks! we nearly feel sad that the war is over already as these tanks could have been quite fun in overrolling japanese cities

to the commonwealth: we have mined and railroaded your hills and cleaned the pollution in the jungle. unfortunatly, we cannot cut down the jungle on your territory because some unknown international law doesn't allow us to do so ... we're sorry about that, but there's nothing we can do. instead, we can help your lone worker at port moresby upgrade that land. if you move your worker on to the jungle or forrest tile, we can do some work in the next turn

ok, now our options:

1) replay this WW2-scenario, but with a human player as japan
--> medium problem: balance issues
--> minor problem: who is the fifth player
--> minor problem: who plays japan

2) play another scenario (eg. napoleonic)
--> major problem: balance! the difference between civs is huge!

3) start a game against a sid level AI. again with locked alliances, but this time the epic game. maybe starting in the industrial times?

4) a combination of the above 3

[Paddy]

I vote for number 1.

but am happy to join this group as in the other options

we have a good reliable group here

[smellymummy]

number 1 sounds good... what balance issues though?

and theres got to be at least one more reliable player out there who'd like to join

number 2 is good too. asides from napoleon scenario, there's also the mesopotamia and age of discovery scenarios that can be fun

CM said that in another PBEM, japan won in 14 turns by victory points... something like that would have to be balanced out

i'm not too fond of the mesopotamia one. then we could just as well start from the beginning AoD sounds very interesting...

June 1943

Our thanks to the Commonwealth for such an amazing new technology

It is also good to see the Commonwealth “DD Achilles” rocking the water outside of Osaka. And we acknowledge gratefully how the Commonwealth “DD Scout” and the Netherlander “SS K X-VIII” for keeping the waters safe as our transporter “Mighty Mouse” coming through the area.

An abundance of Chinese Paratroopers are ready for the attack on Nagasaki.
To assist these brave lads my four Battleships and four of my cruisers have sailed down the Jappa coast and unleashed a mighty barrage.
Please note that Jappa has at least one Battleship, a Destroyer and a transporter in Nagasaki Harbour.


9th Army Air Corp have taken their fight to Osaka.

5th Fleet Naval Base
The Marines have loaded up on the transporters “Decider” and “Jolly Roger”, along with the four destroyers have taken off on an adventure to take out Jappaman new capital Sapporo.

operation clean-up continues through June:

tanks raze Nunkiang

marines raze Saishu

Paratroopers along with minor marine help, raze Nagasaki. As the city fell, troops noticed a Japanese battleship sinking in the city harbor.

Provisional government decided to abandon Komi and burnt the island to the ground.

Yeah, it's total carnage. Payback time

Osaka, with it's heavily injured Flak defense is the next target... only if the huge American armies aren't able to capture it first

btw, artillery shells Seishin, and tanks weaken it's defenses.

Commonwealth, she's all yours.
