Cap Mandrake -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (8/22/2021 5:16:09 PM)
Looks like JJ has given up on costly land attacks at Malaybalay and has switched over to air attacks. This wil absolutely work if they keep it up as the supply is critical. quote: Morning Air attack on Malaybalay , at 80,90 Weather in hex: Partial cloud Raid spotted at 37 NM, estimated altitude 9,000 feet.

********August 17******* Sumatra:** The relief Aussie brigade breaks through to the Medan encirclement from the SW in march column at the last second...and then the Japs attack and the 3 brigades are thrown back toward Sibolga. 21st Aus Brig is severely disrupted and will need to find a nice resort for R&R but total disaster is avoided.

Timor: IJN carriers 500 m W of Koepang but only 135 carrier A/C...more like a single carrier division. Not sure what they are doing. Getting ready to take the SCTF there? Preventing our reinforcement of Koepang?

Cap Mandrake -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (8/22/2021 8:33:50 PM)
Lesser Sundas: Dropped 1300 men of 503rd PIR on Namlea and with the men of 2nd Para already on the island it was a 1:1 attack. Not quite enough to take the place but that was all the lift capacity we had available. Sparrow Force is prepped to land there but that is far up in Injun territory. Maybe a naval bombardment and then drop the rest of 503rd PIR

**SWPAC HQ, Darwin** Tall patrician-looking fellow with 5 stars: Jocko, I'd like you to meet the Spruance twins. RADM "Jocko" Clark: <extends hand and shakes both right hands of the twins> Well, well, identical then? Twins: <quizzically look at each other and then "A" speaks> No, he has a substitution of Leucine for Valine at position 512 of the FOXP2 gene and the lucky bastard is murder at crossword puzzles...they both laugh> <after a pause Clark looks at the patrician-looking guy> I don't get it. Tall patrician-looking fellow with 5 stars: It's the language gene, Jocko. They are geniuses. They are clones Jocko...genetic copies...you see, the original Raymond Spruance developed the most God-awful neurological tic. The man was a naval genius but he would stand in the middle of a presentation and start yelling about excrement and other bodily fluids. Very distracting. I could hardly get through the meeting agenda. So I had BuOrd make copies of him and they took out that atrocious potty mouth gene. RADM "Jocko" Clark: Copies? Of a human being? Tall patrician-looking fellow with 5 stars: Oh yes. There is one of my too. Up in Mindanao. I played golf with him. The SOB can drive it down the middle of the fairway every time. 260 yds. Uphill downhill doesn't matter. I had the staff tell me on the 8th hole that the damned Japs were landing at Pago Pago. I couldn't take it anymore. RADM "Jocko" Clark: Ummm..are there two copies of me too? Tall patrician-looking fellow with 5 stars:** Oh, coe on Jocko, don't be silly.

*********August 19,20******* Mindanao:** LYB air raids at Malaybalay eating up supply and the AAA is disrupted. The flyable P-40's fly to Zamboanga or Zanzibar or whatever it's called at the NW tip of Mindanao. We have supply but no aviation support. The pilots fill up their own gas tanks and manage to shoot down a bunch of Zekes. The C-46's at Sorong are dropping supply but you can't keep that many troops in beans and burrets

Cap Mandrake -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (8/29/2021 12:56:27 AM)
Sumatra: Djambi, curiously named after two baseball players with oversized egos even though nobody who lives there has ever heard of baseball, and only 150 N of Palembang, which is keeping all the Zekes and Georges operating. Consequently, the LYB's do not want an air base there, even if it is 500+ miles away from the nearest level 1 port by jungle trail with banded crates and sumatran tigers and angry mohammadens (as Winny would say).

That is not really a sentence but I have started drinking so it is the best I can do.

Cap Mandrake -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (8/29/2021 1:06:31 AM)
Anyway, the AF is shut down and the flyable A/C moved to Sawhalabuto or Sowalabatung or whatever the next tiny village full of consanguineous natives is called. After all, they at least did not start this thing so one must maintain a certain level of graciousness and patience.

Cap Mandrake -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (8/29/2021 1:09:59 AM)
Meanwhile, off Medan, smaller and smaller naval forces do battle almost every night as Br 172 Brigade and US 40th Div begins to arrive at Sibolga on the West coast.

A clerk/typist spilled coffee on the Mk VIII Disgronifier and now I have become a free-floating plasma of silicon and germanium and stuff like that trying to recover all my passwords. It's very difficult because I don't have any fingers. I have found that I can sort of hover over the keyboard and kind of roll around a bit and the induced magnetic field will close the circuit on the key but I already melted some of the plastic. I did manage to send an email to Slitherine but it is a Sunday. Maybe some of the Shinto Boys are working today.
