			  | pauk ->  Mon generals!  (1/9/2006 10:59:26 AM) |  
			  | thanks guys... we are going to need lots of good advices and support.
 
 Apollo, I'm sure that Croatia could have at least two more 3x team. We are certainly in quite numbers here (i guess that we can thanks that to Oleg and his  WiTP Mother of all reviews [:)])
 
 Boba, how is your PBEM?
 
 
 
 AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 12/08/41
 
 My generals are alredy infected with victory disease. I'm done my job outstandingly - took the Wake and soon will have recon post in the Kaveing, captured Guam. Zero production reached 119 planes/for month and will be over 200 by the end December. But even such great work /from my side/ can't guarantee victory if my team mates makes such greenhorns mistakes (?)! Common, guys let me reminds you - we are playing for honour of our country, not for peanuts!
 
 
 Troops continue to unload at Khota Baru, while BB TF (Kongo, Haruna) bombed the base again - i think it will be enough, i'm sure that Hawker don't want to capure KB with 100 % damaged AD. Am I sure?
 
 Several attack on fleet at the Khota Baru, but no hits are recorded. Bankok is also attacked with few bombers.
 
 Now look how Hawker uses the minelaying subs - for ambush in the shallow waters! If I were him i would withdraw them to deeper waters. Maybe I should tak command over the subs too?

 Well, this was a report. I'm expecting that my generals explains their strategy plans. I'm sure that Hawker will do it, but for Pfnognoff i doubt - because i doubt that he have any plan[:D]
 
 Oh, almost forget to mentioned... as you know three VM divisions are activated. They are attached to SAA, and Hawker and me give command of these units to Pfnognoff.
