It looks like there is bruising at the base of 1st and 2nd toe as well. Ouch. Here is the good news. If this Admiral thing doesn't work out you could always be a foot model.

Maybe he can get some sympathy from his wife? Tender, tender sympathy? If so the toe might be worth it.


She just laughed at me and called me clumsy.


If you push a pain argument with women eventually it gets around to labor, and we don't win that one.


That's when you bring up kidney stones.

A broken toe just sounds like a great excuse to play more computer games and drink more beer.

If possible the toe looks even more horrible today.

Finally, finally my subs are doing some decent work. And they do so by performing fantastic during the night. Lets get started.

Several subs placed a minefield at Santa Ana.

The S-27 attacks the Mogami not once but twice.

Pretty certain she is a goner.

Even daylight doesn´t stop the allied subs.

This is not going to sink her but I doubt she will be making any more bombardments during this operation.

The USMC don´t want to be left out of the score sheet today. Considering Jeff is probably struggling with lack of fighters on KB I decided to nibble a little at the edges.

Status: offline 		Unfortunately S-27 would be using Mark 10 torpedoes which have considerably less BOOM than the Mark 14. I think Mogami has a 60% chance of surviving those three hits, but might need to hole up at Santa Ana to get minor flood and systems damage down. Port strike when you get a chance (recon first of course).

I would post a picture of my right foot but this is NOT my AAR.

This is the first of a 2-stage OP. This is insanely overkill. But when I started prepping for this 9 months ago I had no clue the entire Japanese army would be on the West Coast.

The 2nd Phase will happen as soon as the ships can return. I don´t have enough lift to do both landings simultaneously. Anyone wants to venture a guess on the destination?

We have a 3rd big OP happening shortly too. Loading will begin in 3 days... lots of clicks.

Tomorrow will be a quiet day. I need to rest my fighters and repair them. It will also give me time to rail in more engineers to the AF at LA which I need for the counter attack. BFs and engineers have now arrived at Bakersfield, Mojave and March Field. They will be operational tomorrow.

The full counterattack is still 3-4 days away. I don´t want to give too much detail on this yet but I´m very optimistic of success. Big question is if I´ll be able to succeed before SD falls. I think how Jeffs first attack there goes will decide the fate of SD.
