I think Ashigara was returning to Broom or Derby. Amazingly symmetrical forces. Looks like we won.

Well, if it makes you feel any better...if I was an AFB, I'd just pretend that it was the "Gary" part of the Indiana that was blown up and flooded. Pity the damage to the latrines and bilge systems though...

I haven't done that much gland massaging since I was 15..well maybe 16..well...anyway, that is a lot of gland massaging.

That is like 2/3 of an AE turn for me.

I wonder if I will turn red when I go back for follow-up and he aks me if I have been massaging my glands?

Air losses. They paid for that plumbing problem on Indiana

One thing Raider taught me in GreyJoy's AAR .. IJ aircraft are like Doritos ... they just keep making more ..and the IJ training thing and HI encourges suicidal attacks if not to drain the pilot pool ....

Long hard slog ahead CAP ..

BTW) Rubbing your eyes as a Tx blepharitis is counterindicated .. BAD DR. Mandrake ....BAD BOY .. Especally since you are in contact with all those childhood infections on a daily basis .... Might I recommend cyclosporine Ophthalmic Emulsion It's much easier on the eyes than gland rubbing ..

I'm sure this is true but we can cause temporary depletions of IJA/IJN aircraft and, even by ground destruction of airframes with no loss of pilots, give us voids in time when can push forward more quickly.

Then, when JJ comes back with more Bettys and swarms of Tojos, we can take a step back, reduce the exposure of our naval assets, get our big airbases ready and then pounce with our heavy bombers.

1) Recon Namlea and order a ground bombing to see if we can get some body parts for unit ID's. More parachute infantry is ready at Saumaki.

2) Move the BB's anad carriers back a bit to get out of zero escort range from Kendari

3) Second P-40 squadron for Boela, the airfield of which is now fully operational.
