Great great Grandfather Zemri has so much fun in the 18th Indiana with Sheridan in Virginia and Savannah...he decides to become a mohammedan and join the mujahidin.

Here he is with his lovely teen bride.

Cap Mandrake -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (3/1/2015 3:06:25 PM)

The momentum is building with 4th Div at Rabaul and the entire 33rd Div at PM. Likley potential targets.....

Townsville, Horn Island, Solomons, New and Improved Caledonia, Fiji, New Zealand.

Hard to decide what to do with New and Improved Caledonia. It can be a great speed bump but we will probably lose eventually.

2 USMC Regiments and 1 US Army Regt unloading at Auckland. Should we send more to Noumea...keep as reserve?

How did the Falcon's cause 137 casualties without scoring a hit on the ship? Radiation bombs? Spoiled Edam and Gouda cheeses? Carelessly filleted pufferfish?
