Landing at Normanton in order to outflank the Cape York Allied garrisons would be a rerun of landing at Wyndham to outflank Darwin/Fenton.

Cloncurry can be used to outflank forces advancing east from Normanton.

Yes. I'd say Normanton was the next invasion spot. If you want to hit Cairns or Cooktown why come that route? If Normanton is taken then it opens up some road routes to expand behind any defence line that is based along the Darwin, Cloncurry, Alice roads. Its a useful place to develop to offload more troops and from there a lot of roads start to become available. AE map has produced a lot of new places that provide opportunities and threats. Its worth any player looking closely at all the dot bases that can be developed - many of which were not mentioned in the actual war.

**************June 6, 1942************

Oz: Jap 77th Regt began landing at Horn. Oddly, they shock attacked and were repulsed handily before most of the Regt was ashore. Is Horn Is. and atoll? Sure doesn't look like it.

At Katherine 3+ Jap divisions attacked but only achieved 1:2 (just barely). They did upset the evacuation of support troops. The Darwin evacuees have not arrived yet. Neither has Jap 6th Guards. Attacks by B-17's continue. THe LYB's are trying to shut down the airfield defended by a single P-39

Shock attack occurs automatically on islands sized 1 and 2. This came out in a thread of about a month ago.

I googled Horn Island to see how big the place was. These are some of the locals, I surmise. Morale is holding up pretty well with the garrison.

If you Google Puerto Vallarta I think you might see some of the same locals.

Nope, I tried it.

Try this Google test. Start typing in your name in the google search box and see how long it takes to zero in on you specifically.

Tried that a while back with some friends. On the one hand, its disturbing how little privacy we actually have. On the other hand, the most incriminating thing that came up on me was some college honor society stuff.

You have to admit the water looks inviting. Of course, it probably has great whites and 20 foot Salties in it.

My Dearest Spri;

I trust things are well with SEAC. Since New Scotland fell we are all just lolling about having adult beverages here. Nasty business the New Scotland thing. Oh well. Can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs, eh? There are these coordination issues:

1) We just shipped a Bn of M-10's from San Francisico bound for Melbourne.

2) What are your thoughts on a relief effort to Horn Island? This would have to involve the three carriers at Wellington due to the air threat from Port Moresby and, potentially, from Jap carriers.

3) We have a large aviation support regiment in New York that is flagged for SEAC. Would you prefer we divert the unit to Australia where the need seems greater?

In patient forbearance;

Probably spending all their money on hookers and booze would be my guess.

If your question is instead, how come they aren't in Karachi or something, my guess would be there is some kind of war profiteering going on.

************June 6, 1942, US Army Bureau of Overseas Deployment, D-ring, Pentagon***********

Army Clerk: ..yes..well..let me have you talk to Mr. Cheatham. <hands over phone>

I. Dunn Cheatham, Esq.: Look jackwad! This is how it is going to be. If you want the 33rd in Brisbane we are talking 6 figures. Do you think you are ordering Christmas wreaths or something? Call me back when you have the funds, otherwise, the 33rd is going to Karachi. <hangs up phone> Look, son, when negotiating, you can't display weakness. It's like a couple of walruses fighting for the right to be beachmaster. You open your mouth real big and show the other SOB how big your ******* teeth are. I'll take 50K but I am not going to let him know that. Got it?

Army Clerk: Yes sir. Big ******* teeth.

I. Dunn Cheatham, Esq.: Damn right, son. Big ******* teeth.

Army Clerk: Yes sir. Sir, what is a beachmaster.

I. Dunn Cheatham, Esq.: Beachmaster? Why, that's the male with the biggest ******* teeth who gets to **** all the females.

Army Clerk: Is that a good thing, sir?

I. Dunn Cheatham, Esq.: Damn right it is!

Army Clerk: You must really like your job, sir?

I. Dunn Cheatham, Esq.: Me? Nah..I used to enjoy the hunt but now I am filled with a sense of emptiness and purposelessness. I should have listened to my mom. She wanted me to be a gynecologist.

Perhaps Mandrake is feeling a bit of regret in his choice of medical specialization as well.
