"Allied Death Star"



I'm curious as to what this refers to.


The phenomenon of grouping 8 Essex class together in one hex resulting in a CAP of 200 Corsairs and 100 F6F's [:)]

Jap planes are drawn in to their death by the gravitational pull.

Historiker -> RE: The "classics" (5/9/2012 5:17:06 PM)

SCLS = Sudden Carrier loss Syndrome; someone loosing his carriers unexpected and quits the game as a consequence or seriously thinks about it [;)]

There you have it! Nobody said etymology was easy. Now we are getting somewhere.




witpqs -> RE: The "classics" (5/9/2012 10:20:34 PM)

I tried to find Ron's old "Kablammo" graphic, but no joy. Maybe someone out there downloaded a copy?

I might agree with you, if only I understood what the word 'floggie' translated to in English.
