I echo Fischer's vote of thanks. Franc it would be good to continue the story with you in nominal charge of the Axis - if our actions need you to make a decision - for example be fooled by a dummy attack - you could use a dice throw to determine the outcome - 1,2,3, take the bait 4,5 - see through the ruse 6 break off attack all together. You could weigh the strength the choices on the strength of our proposal. I intend to do something like this when i finally get round to doing Midway - the players are the Japanese and I will be the US.

On a different note, I looked through the Axis thread when the failure of the 2 thread approach was annouced. What was interesting was to compare the 2 approaches. We had concentrated on building our knowledge and discussing tactic while the others seemed to spend a lot of time worrying about us looking at their discussions. For my part, I had no inclination to look at their thread as I thought the best part of the IH was not knowing what the other side had in mind. When we would had reached the inevitable point of contact it would have been really good to have tried to 2nd guess what they were doing. Perhaps we can give it another go in the future.
