I’d say I average about 5 games at a time.  Like SS, I use map programs for all the games so board swapping is not an issue.  If I had to guess, the max number I’ve ever had active is probably 8.

Wow, according to the way I read that clarification, the fighters would indeed splash.  Which I don’t think makes sense.  Assuming the CV had moved two spaces to enter the combat, retreating is essentially a 3rd movement and completely allowed by the rules.  I would have applied the same to the attacking fighters.  But that clarification seems to indicate otherwise with the line “Retreating air units retreat only as many spaces as left in their flight range movement”.

I’m always up for a game of AAP!

@saburo:

The beauty of Mapview is that you don’t have to write out your turns because you will have a visual representation of all your moves.

What do you mean by this?  It actually shows you where you attacked or non-com’ed?  Shows results of combat?  Shows where you placed units?  Please expand.

Thanks.

Rob,
Mapview allows you to see a map of each phase of every round played.  There are colored arrows included which can be placed on the maps to indicate combat and non-combat movements, notes can be left directly on the map for your opponent to indicate OOLs and such, units are placed or moved with a drag and drop.  Each phase map is stored and can be easily referred back to simply by clicking on the proper tab.  It’s an excellent utility.  I couldn’t see playing A&A PBEM without it.

We’ll also need to decide on a roller.  Saburo, do you know if ROI will support a 3 player game?

That works fine for me SS!  Once you two have things sorted out, let me know your ipc distribution and ools.

Well, if you want an experienced partner, you can’t ask for a better player then Saburo Sakai.  I’ll gladly take the Japanese side.  I would prefer we use MotCreations’ Mapview for the game, if at all possible.

If you need a third player, I’ll volunteer.

(edited for spelling)

Well, my vote would be the following:
“- The most important sea zones and territories and how to control them”

In my opinion, this is probably the most helpful topic for newer players to the game.

But US Battleships look so pretty….it’s back to the drawing board for me
