Bummer. I knew the Kittyhawks were but I thought the Vengeance and Spits might be of use to the RAF. We have only 1 RAAF fighter squadron because the replacement squadrons couldn't come in at Brisbane and Townsville.

I am pretty sure SG has figured out that I am trying to not let her read the "blog" as she calls it. I don't think the parts about PG or
the "Mayan" she will find funny.


If I stop posting for 5 days it means:

1) I forgot to pay my ATT bill.
2) Magnitude 7.5 on Southern San Andreas
-or-
3) SG read "the blog"

British 44 Div is like a green American division without all the cool toys.

7th SA Armoured has good equipment for early '42 but apparently nobody told them how to turn on the Ronson engines.

2nd Para is pretty damn good but light on heavy weapons, of course.

27th Rhodesian fair to middling but good TO&E
