I support your decision to not allow a Mulligan on the Dec 18th turn, not after your opponent wrought havoc with that force for days (including sinking Mutsu and Yamashiro) rather than watching out for his own logistics.
I understand why this victory feels a bit stale, but at the end of the day your opponent provoked it and fell into his own trap.

Well, we ended up doing those two turns over anyway. It looked like he had the space to get away, but the turn I just ran shows that it's very likely they didn't go nearly as far away as I thought they would. We might have them sandwiched between CARDIV 1 and 2 right now.

I just watched the video about the revives turn 17. I must say you are very generous with your opponent. Threatening you with what the younger ones would call a “rage quit” is somewhat childish, and yet you were generous.

Well then, have a good hunt

I have to admit, I was really tempted to call his bluff and if he did ragequit on me, oh well, I'll just get to start over with a new opponent and a clean slate. I'd get to fix some of my embarrassing mistakes so far! It absolutely blows my mind that he passed on my offer to fix 12/17 and then ended up demanding we go back to 12/17 after we completed 12/18. And the fix ended up being as simple as a task force speed adjustment. There's no reason he couldn't have tried that before we moved on.

Aren‘t you worried about your opponent watching your videos as well?

Yeah. My solution to that for now is to lag the rollout of the videos by 2 weeks worth of game time. I'm running at -6 days so far (we've finished 12/25).

OK, that makes sense.

Still watching your videos.

Over the past couple of videos I've noticed that your voice has become rather quiet, and I have to increase the volume to properly understand you. Today's video seems to be especially quiet. Would it be possible to increase the volume (micropohne?) a bit?
