*****FOB RH, Honolulu, January 1, 1942(d)***** FAM (ice bag on head): Now, wait, are you telling me the fast minesweeper task force, which had plenty of time to bombard Shikuku at night and clear to the East by morning, instead stopped in the danger zone near Toyahara because the AI is timing its run to get as far away from the target hex by daylight? Foreign looking fellow in Hawaiian shirt: Hai! Exacatarry! Not-ah read manuarh? FAM (ice bag on head):** Manual? There's a manual? Crap, how come nobody tells me these things? ....Two more things: What does "AI" mean and what does "hai" mean?

We lost 6 DMS and didn't scratch the oilfields or resource stockpiles at Shikuku:[8\|] Counting enemy planes and shipping lost it is a draw on points. Lots of fuel burned too...this is what you call an "economic stimulus". The BB's were in range of Shikuku for a night bombardment but I don't trust the AI to do what is ordered from 5 hexes away...therefore we retreat.

***********M&M Enterprises Fuel Services, Dutch Harbor, January 1***** Cpt. Henkle, CO USS Platte: $143,000 DOLLARS! I'll not pay it. That's war profiteering, sir. I'll report you to the Truman Commission. Young sergeant with irrepressible optimism: The Truman Commission hasn't started yet sir. Besides, I have an order here from Sec Knox. <begins reading> "Pursuant to the Economic Stimulus Act of 1941 the United States Navy awards an exclusive naval and aviation fuel contract for all ports in NorPac command area." Cpt. Henkle, CO USS Platte: <reluctantly signs contract> Young man, you are a disgrace to the Army Air Force. Young sergeant with irrepressible optimism:** Yes sir, I get that a lot. Have a nice voyage. Watch out for icebergs but if something should happen we do dent removal too!

We have tried to close Rabaul airfield for 2 days with Forts from PM but the airfield is crappy and there is not enough support. Still wet behind the ears US Army dive bombers are sent in. The only meaningful USN surface force is Southeast of Sydney because I was worried the carriers would keep coming south.

Cap Mandrake -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (2/15/2015 2:40:45 PM)
It pains me to see the enthusiastic sergeant run circles around Cpt Henkle because I might be related to him (on the Moravian side). Still, one has to be objective and only report what is happening. That is the whole point of an AAR, after all.

2 x USMC Regt and one US Army Regt headed to Auckland because they are on big cruise liners with swimming pools and shuffleboard and can't disembark at forward bases.

Oz: We would be in better shape if we still had the USN to help but they were unavoidably detained. 18th Br Div landing at Darwin which, if we can get supply up there makes it a serious bastion. Cairns and Cooktown...zero AV Townsville 115 Rockhampton 129 Shockingly few fighters.

It's pretty easy to cut Darwin off from supplies (and retreat) by landing at Whyndham, Derby etc. Are you sure you want to put the 18th that far north?
