I have 3 major offensives planned after I take Calcutta for the rest of 1943 - together these offensives should take a significant step forward to victory

The first of these will be the culmination of Hydra after Calcutta I will take back Ceylon and by taking Ceylon open up round the clock bombardments of Chittagong

More to follow after planning is finalised

That was quick after you said you would take it, was it the Bambino calling his shot?

No I dont think so after you get the AV and forts down to a certain level it becomes inevitable that it will fall

Been pounding Ceylon for last few days as I prep my next operation

Sorry all been having a few issues got a temporary medicine induced eysight problem can see llike a hawk in distance but everythiong close in is a blur - cannot get new specs until medication settles down so need to wait

Lots been happening I actually ademitted defeat and told Desertwolf the game was lost as I cannot see a way back for a couple of years and the only sensible strategy for me to follow is to turtle and wait for aircraft and pilots and Essex class

He is a very good player and doesnt make mistakes so I need to play it smart and boring so I have conceded but as i said he wants to play on so we shall.

He hit a major convoy with supplies off of LA totally destroyed it synch bug on 1st day meant I didnt even see the attack so the 2nd day attack was also a freebie as my convoy went on its merry way annoyingly the 8 CVE's and Essex had departed a few days earlier to the Marquwesas intending to provide close escort on what I thought was the dangerous Tahiti - NZ stretch - how little I knew
