I did not read the manual but I suspect the red means something bad. Maybe they just ran out of Bully Beef at the PX but I suspect some restive group is making trouble.





It means some P(x) [Grisby Die roll] of giving away a VP to the Shinto Boys and taking some damage because the natives get restless as you point out .. in Calcutta they replaced the Bully Beef with Pork Rinds and obviously all hell broke out ..
My thought on this .. 25 airway damage on a 9 level airfield is like 200 4E's dropping full loads .. I guess 200 Ryder trucks loaded with FEX bombs would do the trick ..


BTW) Winnie boy was partial to cognac ... much more refined "brandy" of sorts ..

If he wants to come over for dinner I'll spring for the cognac and cigars...and an extra helping of boiled kidneys or whatever the Engrish eat.

Well, I don't think it's cricket to just assume that the Lord Admiral would automatically like this, just because he claims to be English. Propriety dictates that you ask him beforehand, to suss his comfort level with the food. My contributions to this discourse are to offer this question for his consideration:

Lord Admiral Sprior-have you had Spotted Dick before? What did it taste like? Would you try it again? Are there any cultural or culinary problems with serving it with fudge?

I was under the impression we were discussing the menu for Winnie coming to dinner.

Admiral Lord SPrior is a non-Hindu speaking IT guy (who, even so, apparently can do Indian accents). This by itself is not dangerous but the real point is he can probably find your IP number and make life miserable for you.

This is why I aplogized when I got his favorite ship sunk and why I did not mean to imply that he liked boiled kidneys or funny-sounding deserts.

In the strangest of coincidences, I actually got Spotted Dick from a female healthcare professional. My cousin Sophie, who is an Oncologist, gave me a can of Spotted Dick as a joke Christmas gift last year. I am pretty sure she was not unclean when she gave me the Spotted Dick.

I am open to suggestions for an appropriate retaliatory gift.

Was she generous with her gift, so that you can tell the family "Sophie gave me a case of spotted dick!"

Do they provide certain teeth* bleaching services?

*I didn't really mean "teeth" in the line above. I just thought it rather crass to use the term arsehole, so I edited it out and replaced it in the name of good taste. What would this AAR be, were it not for the refined taste of its alleged "contributors"?

The front bit: is that large hole on top where the periscope for the driver would have been, or was that farther back? It looks very cramped, I hope they had a good retirement package.
