Mostly it is correctling the tower armor, some weapons corrections and adding the correct planes for various CV air groups received as mid to late war reinforcements and the like. It is said to be a comprehensive patch.

The Fireflies didn't carry a lot of shells, but when facing IJA armor, they could get "2-for-1", by shooting through the guy in front, and getting the tank behind as well, thus conserving ammo!

Today the coarse fishing season opens. Oh to be fishing for a few tench in the pond.

Anway, once more JJ refuses to attack the redoubt that is Katherine. Me thinks 'tis time to beat an orderly retreat toward David Tennant. or Fawlty Towers. Or somewhere.

It's 2 per month. Still rather decadent I'd say, cocktail bars should only be for captains and above. What will come of the world if every lowly LTC has one.

Old Chap, the supply requirements hardly seem extravagant: One unit to support the CO, and one unit for his batman, aide-de-camp, personal cook, laundress, diarist, and chauffeur.

After all, when one is a Colonel in his Majesty's armed forces, it's only reasonable to expect said armed forces to provide a staff to take care of the humdrum day-to-day details of life, so that one's keen intellect can focus on devising cunning solutions for tactical problems such as employing static artillery pieces in dynamic amphibious opposed river crossings...

I say, JJ may demand that field-grade officers shoulder their own packs and unfurl their own bedrolls, but look where that has gotten them so far! :-]

I'd think he would be demoted after losing his complete command.

Now now, let's not jump to conclusions, mate. The command may not be lost so much as 'misplaced'.

Probably too many Darwin Antipersonnel Bombs....or merely the proximity to all the USN evacuees from Manila for those 2 months in Darwin.

Poor bastard, he'll never get it back either. It's gone for good.

Having to routinely use both spelling standards, objectively, I prefer Webster's to Oxford's....But I understand the British nor Australian Armies are likely to soon accept my recommendations. The do not seem interested in my war against unneccesary vowels.

Now, keep in mind, this is HIS theory not mine and even his own wife thought he was full of manure. In his defence, though, he is Sicilian.

It goes something like this..."if you head East long enough, at some point you have to be going West, right. After all, if you head North far enough you will be going South, right"?
