The boys at Mandalay need a bit of a rest.

Except the srmoured units who are off to Mykitla and Toungoo.



Many may not understand the jargon.

A "srmoured unit" is a unit of Girl Scouts covered in melted marshmallows and graham crackers.

That would depend on the status of WJD LBA in Southern Burma/Siam

Status: offline 		Interesting AAR Historical Fact:


The Burmese civilization, despite having all the mangoes and figs they could eat, access to war elephants and even the first ever armored loincloth, never managed to achieve a large empire. Why is this? Quite simply, even the locals could not pronounce the names of the towns and villages. This severely constrained military communication.

Burmese 7th century general if fine silken loincloth: Go that way to town with big palm trees that cross in sky.

Lt.: European palms or African palms?

All the armoured units are racing to Mekitla, the cavalry will branch off to taun Gyi and the remainder race to Toungo. JJ may get their first but it's worth a run at it.

For the IJ .. "Paint it Black" and thus my intuition that there is no secondary line .. at lest not yet .. and it is Katy bar the door once Rord Admeriar Nelson takes Bangkok ... [forget Rangoon and Moulmein .. this juggernaut is headed for all of Southeast Asia ..] .. You might be right Chickenboy .. this might not get to '44

Horrycrappo-jima: The air drop yesterday of 1st Marine Para did not go off. I wonder if the code will not permit an air drop on a friendly base (with no airfield). Pretend I didn't read the manual...but I'm betting it is not in there. Will see if it works today. In the meantime, it is up to the USN and RAN to protect the prace as their are Shinto-boys right off shore throwing up fish-head soup in their rittah green brain buckets. No counterattack at the fortress the Aussie paras landed right on top of (the next island over) during their recon by jumping out of airprane attack.

The code does allow that. Remember that para-jumps are only to normal range of the aircraft, not extended range.

Status: offline 		Horrycrappo-jima: JJ surface groups were spotted N and NE of Horrycrappo-jima yesterday. They first send a spotter group or an ASW group or an ammo-eater group depending on one's perspective. Can't blame them. They have to use what they have. Arleigh Burke is in charge for us. He either:

1) Does not trust radar

-or-

2) Is worried about friendly fire accidents

-or-

3) Is trying to save ammo

When opposing forces spot each other at 1000 yds, Takunan Maru seems to be wearing an exprosive vest.
