Reek, you have earned a week out of the dungeon with recent play despite my disagreement on Meruaka Is.. Here's your collar, go sleep with the girls. Here, put this flea medicine behind your neck. It will help with those infernal pests. Now, you ask for some advice re Treasuries. Hummm, too bad you mean the island sort as I have a lot more advice about T bonds and bills that might come in handy for ruling an empire...but, that is for aother day. So, now that you have achieved a level of momentum and you have your worthy opponent at least seemingly a bit off balance in the Solomons I will offer this: 1. Maintain your momentum where you have the strength to do so. That is; reinforce success. I would not necessarily put much into the Treasuries, but continue your tactical by-passes in the Solomons as quickly as you can. Of courde, it goes without saying you need to avoid the KB/LBA combo that can hurt your carefully hoarded CV fleet. 2. Maybe Choiseul should follow Rekata after Rekata is built to 3+ and operational. Your LBA umbrella has been very successful in warding off harm from hundreds of LYB air attacks. Also, get those paras ready for a drop on Buka, Green Island or Feni Is. Don't tarry on these as you have him in a bit of a scramble as he tries to establish his next MLR (probably Kavieng, Rabual, Gasmata and one of the bases on the north coast of New Guinea. However, he will not have prepped his LCUs much for those bases if you act relatively fast. 2. Thinking longer term, I still like the Solomons, Bismarck Sea and north New Guinea coastal approach to the Phillipines....boringly historical, I know, but they went that way for a reason. 3. And thinking even further, the advise others have given you about opening different approach routes to the HIs is sound. But, I would stay clear of large fleet commitments to the DEI interior until much later in the game for the reasons CR elicted earlier. Nonetheless, Burma and/or the Aleutians or central Pacific are all in play. Like one commentator said. A strong presence in Burma is going to make India a less appealing place to have 400,000+ IJA troops sitting around. 4. Do some reconning on Gasmata and see what is there. It's still a possibility alothough it is likely to now be part of his next MLR and not as inviting as it was previously. 5. Keep in mind you are approaching 44. Time and numbers are not currently on your side, but you are playing the clock much better these days. Do not lose your momentum. Good luck, Reek....and do take this old, soiled tunic and blanket with you to the kennels. Its a cold night...you could catch a chill. Say hello to the girls and don't fight them so hard for those bones. The girls need to keep their strength up too, you know. Now, run along, I have other pressing matters to attend....and winter is coming.
