They managed to procure 36 new basketball balls from a certain Mr. Honda in exchange for 50 cases of salted sea urchin roe. Much fun was had by all but nobody ever learned how to dunk the ball.

See...that there is a classic example of a "rush to judgement" and must be guarded against with great care. I suppose next thing you are going to tell us is that OJ was guilty.

Well, it doesn't sound so bad. After all, it wasn't very far from a marble bar. There must have been lots of cool drinks and relaxing light jazz band nearby. Luxury.

Cap'n: A question:

Have you considered a para assault on that dot hex to the SW of Port Hedland? The one that is connected by rail? Capturing it may be an opportunity for an air bridge into and out of PH. If nothing else, it may distract JJ from flying CAP over PH or may necessitate him earmarking additional troops to re-liberate it.

Do you have the transport aircraft and a small para assault unit that could be so moved in? Other LCUs with engineers to fly in get that a/f up to 1 quickly?

I assume that the dot hex of which I speak is 0/0 port (duh...)/airfield at this time?


I believe you refer to the lovely alpine village of Corruna Downs. We have considered such a move. For recon we sent a couple of B-26's on low level attack, the trailing plane with a Mk V recon net. This yielded a LYB left arm complete with unit ID on the tunic. Intel thinks there are about 2,000 SNLF troops there.


Are these 1,999 bi-armed and 1 uni-armed Japanese warriors not represented on the map? Perhaps the map you posted cut off the telltale red troop symbol.

It is also possible that he railed these SNLF in to PH to help with the defense, thus leaving Corruna Downs unoccupied...

I disagree, Cap'n. I consider this a prime example of unnecessary redundancy in the written language.

I heard that the debate over eliminating the future funding of that particular department was the root cause of the SuperCommitee's failure to reach an agreement...

Hey, Cap, I vote you go for a progressive land-based air and carrier assault ASAP on those dedicated Occupy Wall Street activist-types presently camping offshore of Perth and Geraldton ---but only. of course, if you promise that they can subsequently deploy their liferafts there indefinitely, you refrain from the use of pepper-spray-loaded SBDs, and you promise to forgive all the student loan debt they acquired at Etajima...

I believe that the good Captain has been very clear in indicating that the clown college that so many of these 'occupy' sorts aspire was located on Haha Jima, not Etajima.

No. 54 Sqdrn, RAF, is assigned, oddly, to RAAF restricted command and can upgrade to Sea Hurricanes.

Could we really convert to Sea Hurricanes, change to a non-restricted command and assign them to a carrier?

What kind of defenses might we find at Paramhiro-Jima?

Also, pretend I didn't read the rule book. What are the effects of Winter on an amphibious attack? Also, when does winter start? Also, what about the invasion of the homeland trigger? Does it include the Kuriles?

Also, where can I find the inventory of winterized Quonset huts?

It's a good sign, as far as I'm concerned. Going from single A coverage to AA coverage is a definite boon. If you can get three A's wedged in there (e.g., RAAAF) or at the very least, RAAaF / RAAA-F, that would further mitigate your military investment risks.

Heap big disruption penalties when unloading. Fatigue significantly higher too.

Yes.

Check with the Peruvians. IIRC, they got a sweetheart deal on these babies in WWIIb.

There is a very good disscussion in Canoerebel's threat about PJ. Bascally it is impossible to take by force, or reoccupy in the winter. Any amount of force no matter how good the odds will either find themseves drowning in the freezing surf, or be completely 100% disrupted requiring a bugs bunny like single light tap to shatter ...

These ratings would be made by the same reliable, impartial, disinterested agencies that thought so highly of bundled sub-prime mortgage securities in 2005-2006?

Why do I get the sinking feeling M&M Enterprises has somehow gotten into the air command/investment bond rating business...
