There's the rub. North or South.

Either way, I'll send you my (hastily created?) account details and you can cable through the cash, of course that will be after going through a few rounds of 'just a few thousand more to set up the 'insert excuse here' paper work'.

*******************April 17, 1942********************

OZ:


Kaga and 2 CVL snuck up on us near Wyndham in Northern Oz. Brazenly, the LYB's sailed up within range of the P-39's and Wildcats at NRD. 2 squadrons of B-17's and a few RAAF Hudsons were on naval attack duty just to annoy the LYB's. They formed up a nice escorted attack, with 19 bombers and 13 fighters. CAP over the carriers was only 17 Zeroes. It was unlikley to succeed and it did not. 5 USN/USAAF fighters were lost.



Next an attack of 2 A-24's (of the 10 stationed there) and 13 fighters came in against 10 Zeroes. This had a chance but failed with the loss of 2 fighters and 1 A-24. If all 10 Banshees had attacked it might have been a stellar day...but alas.

This close call apparently made the ALB's really mad as they came at the surface DD patroll off NRD with 2 waves of bombers. The Allies put up 19 F4F's and P-39. The Japs lost 12 carrier aircraft with no Allied losses. Capt. Joost did have to go to the wardroom and change his goofy white knickers and white socks afterward, however.

Net losses: 8 USN/USAAF vs 12 IJN

The Japs crossed a creek with salties in it and tried to take Derby but were defeated by the RAAF ground crews.

New Scotland:

The 5 SBD's at NP flew 10 sorties and scored 8 bomb hits on AK's. The AK's and escorts also took heavy damage from the CD guns.

I tired a fighter sweep over NU but the three squadrons went in separately and we lost 4 P-39/400's. Here is the enemy strength at NP and NE:

NE...48th Naval Guard Unit
14th/A Division
61st Naval Guard Unit
42nd Naval Guard Unit
65th Naval Guard Unit
14th/B Division
82nd Naval Guard Unit
44th Naval Guard Unit
61st Nav Gd (-)
Maizuru 1st SNLF
43rd Naval Guard Unit
44th Nav Gd (-)

NP... 4th Brigade
17th Infantry Regiment
4th Division
47th Naval Guard Unit
8th Recon Regiment
83rd Naval Guard Unit
144th Infantry Regiment
8th Engineer Regiment
64th Naval Guard Unit
8th Mountain Gun Regiment

My recollection is 4th Brigade is new. B-17's had a nice raid on Jap ground troops at NE. One P-39 was lost to a Jap bombardment at NP

OZ: Bully Kaga and her CVL's withdrew Westward so they didn't get their Chrysanthemum decals all scratched up. In their place Ise and Hyuga showed up off Wyndham with the Jap 5th Inf Div in tow. As you might imagine, this caused some conern among the small RAAF support force there. Two battleships and 20,000 battle-trained Japs seemed a bit of overkill for a single Catalina and 150 Diggers in short pants but we have trained the LYB's well to expect us to do something rash or foolhardy or both.

An odd collection of B-17's, Hudsons, Blenheims and 3 Stringbags showed up over the beaches. The three Stringbags, flying without torps as there is no air HQ yet, nevertheless managed to drop 3 eggs on Hiyoshi Maru and Bar-B-Q'ed 100 of the Emperor's boys. I had chopped down the range of the A-24's at NRD or they would have joined in.

An enitire Jap division is not needed for garrison duty at Wyndham...this is an offensive force. The obvious purpose would be to cut off the land track from Alice to Darwin.

New Scotland: Nagato came back down to bombard NP, destroying 3 aircraft on the ground. T'storms grounded all the aircraft on both sides. The Jap carriers disappeared into the T'storms. Jap AK's are still getting hammered by shore fire at NP and NE. Both NP and NE airfields are at about 25% runway damage. The Allies are slowly winning the destroy/rebuild battle of late.

My Mayan Housekeeper waved off the landing (her shift) this week. This could mean several things:

1) She is angry because Stalker Girl won't let her do her laundry (with good reason)

2) She needs to go back and visit her mom in the Yucatan. Normally, one would just ask for time off in this situation, but this is not how it works with domestic workers in Mexico. They might ask the "patron" for an extra $200 for mom's surgery but they won't ask for time off. Very odd custom if you ask me.

3) She was grossed out by the sid marks on my undwerwear (j/k)

4) She got a better offer. This is the likely explanation. 2 months ago she was asking for extra shifts. If the Fed finds out there is wage inflation for Mayan housekeepers I guarantee this "quantitative easing" business (ie, printing money) is over. This means interest rates will start rising soon. Now...should you chose to act on this in some fashion and make a ****load of money I DO NOT want any crap from the SEC? Are we clear on that?

OZ: Wyndham fell, but not before the Banshees, Stringbags and Hudsons and 17's did some damage to the Jap shipping. Ise was hit by one bomb from an A-24 (don't know if it was a 1000 lbr because I never watch the replays ) A squadron of P-39's will sweep over Wyndham today and the 17's will try to take out the level one airfield and port before the LYB's get fighters in there. I suspect the 5th IJA Div means to walk across "The Katherine". Lord Admiral Sprior has ordered some British lads in shorts (a brigade) down to Katherine town which has a level 4 airfield.

Improbably, the RAAF ground support unit at Derby kicked Jap ass so the ALB's are landing more troops at Derby.

New Scotland: Ineffectual bombardment at NP. NE runway now fully repaired but the repair facilities are still badly damaged. I might be able to get some of the damaged airframes out. Jap carriers not spotted for a second day. This is anxiety provoking. Nashville made it sfely to Suva.

Status: offline 		Today is the 1 yr anniversary of the Viking Longboat Ceremony with Stalker Girl. The acutal ceremony, I mean. The reception with all the free booze and food was one week earlier. Our lawyers were still fighting over the prenup.

I know you think I'm kidding but I'm not. We actually had the reception 1 week before the Longboat dirge.

Here is a bit of advice. When a lawyer tells you a prenup will reduce stress, he is full of crap. No, really, I mean even more than normal.

The anniversary does raise an interesting historical question. What did the Vikings do when their women complained about them trying to "conquer the world" all the time?

OZ: All of the coastal bases from Port Hedland to Wyndham are now in control of the LYB's. P-39's were ordered to sweep over Wyndham from Kimberly in preparation for a B-17 raid on the little airfield at Wyndham. Somebody forgot the wake up call for the P-39's pilots so the 17's went in first. There are about 10 zeroes at Wyndham now but the 17's held their own. Another squadron of 17's sent to NRD.

Oz will need some more medium bombers. When the weather is better the famed 90th BS(M) can fly in from Auckalnd. That should help.

New Scotland: Bad weather again. The Japs have concentrated on NP, with two battleship bombardments on the 20th. The BB's do a better job of taking out the repair facilities so I am shifting air activity to NE, which now has a clear runway and 35% repair damage.
A few SBD's at NE did attack AP's off NE, destroying 2 and sending 200 Jap infantry to Davy Jones' Locker. Seventh Air Force Army fighters are still not coordinating with the Navy SBD's so they attacked with no escort. The Japs bombarded NP by air (Bettys, balsa wood Nells and Sallys) but I had no CAP so I missed a big chance to kill Bettys and Nells.

The LYB's now have almost 50,000 combat troops at NP. Evidently, they hoped that two BB bombardments would soften us up, but instead, I had converted one Marine Regt., two Bn. of armor and most of field arty to the command of I Amphibious Corps. This worked well, giving the Allies a command bonus. The Jap attack was crushed with almost 5,000 casulaties (10:1)

It won't be long before the Japs deduce that the planes are flying out of NE again and the bigger base will get attention. USN subs sunk a few straggler AK's.

The Jap carriers were spotted again, now ESE of New Edinburgh about 200 m.

There are now 4 prewar BB's at Auckland and Warspite is on her way. I am tentatively planning a raid on New Scotland and delivery of more supplies and another regiment of Marines to be covered by the three USN carriers and one RN carrier. Ideally, this would be in a lull when the Jap carriers return to Truk or Rabaul. Failing that, it might be possible to engage the Jap carriers under the cover of about 80+ fighters from Norfolk Is.

There are several problems:

1) Intel on the carriers is poor. They seem to have about 65 fighters and 145 bombers. That is quite formidable. Kaga and 2 CVL's are off Oz. Soryu is now off the sunk list (I never really beleived she sunk from one torp) but may still be in drydock. Akagi is probably ready. My guess is therefore the force consists of 4 fleet carriers.

2) I will have to use some Marine F4F's and probably 3 squadrons of those crappy biplane bombers and only one squaron of TBD's

3) Jap land based air at New Ullapool

Sadly, no. Polish on both sides, but the geneaology is sketchy so there might be a Viking in the woodpile somewhere.

On another note, I have been nurtring my nectarine tree for months, watching the fruits ripen...then I catch the neighbor kid up in the tree and he has already picked about 80%. The fruit that had the slightest imperfections he threw on the ground and he and his sister were smashing them with their feet. This is the same household who I suspect of narcing on me to the HOA, building the $10,000 mailbox on my property and getting me thrown in the back of the Sheriff's car when the Sheriff responded to the wrong address for a domestic dispute.

I had a brief fantasy that the Sheriff would wrongly respond to THEIR address after the fruit-induced homicide.....but instead I went inside for a G&T. I was out of tonic so I converted to an emergency Martini mid ice.

Hell ours in smallville NC got raised last year!! There was so much stink raised they had an open meeting and 12000 showed up to complain. It seems the new county assessment lady was getting a nice kick from the company she hired to do the assessments, they never even checked the recent sales records. She was promptly fired... and is now suing the county for damges and money she claims is owed to her, They have put a "temporary" hold on the increase.

Real estate prices have probably declined 30-35% around here over the last 2 1/2 years and the bastards at the orange county tax assessors office sent me a nice letter saying they had adjusted the assessed valutation of my home by a "CPI adjustment" of -0.257%.

Well, that is bloody generous of them, isn't it? Note that it isn't a 25% adjustment...it is 0.257% or 25 cents on adjustment of valuation for every $100 of previously assessed value.

Note also that the couldnt just round up to 0.26%...oh no....they need the money so they carry it out to 3 significant digits as if they were planning an orbital insertion of the Apollo Command Module or something. Then, just after they poke you in the eye with this idiocy, they give you a swift knee to the jewels by offering a $7,000 "homeowners exemption". Note, this doesnt mean the tax bill is reduced by $7,000...oh no...this means the assessed valuation is reduced by $7,000 (about .6%). Asshats. Where did the $7,000 come from? I looked it up. It was the value of a new Conastoga Mk 12 (with full size spare) in 1872.

I hate government.

An "open meeting" attended by 12,000 is waaay past an "open meeting"...that is an insurrection. I doubt the Continental Army had that many soldiers at the start.

Still, the story makes me feel better. The corruption angle just takes it to a whole new level.
