Got the replay and CR from Jeff. A good day for the allies. [:)] Update will have to wait until tomorrow though.

Look at my poor pinky toe. [:(]

It looks like there is bruising at the base of 1st and 2nd toe as well. Ouch. Here is the good news. If this Admiral thing doesn't work out you could always be a foot model. [:D]

Maybe he can get some sympathy from his wife? Tender, tender sympathy? If so the toe might be worth it.


She just laughed at me and called me clumsy. [:(]


If you push a pain argument with women eventually it gets around to labor, and we don't win that one.


That's when you bring up kidney stones.

A broken toe just sounds like a great excuse to play more computer games and drink more beer.

You type with your toes?? Leave the western theatre alone for a while!! :P

It was probably too much surströmming.

This seemingly harmless thing may have played a role.

A molecule of ethyl alcohol?
I think Jocke may have had more than one in his system ...




JocMeister -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (6/28/2016 5:40:49 AM)

Sorry to disappoint you guys but I was completely sober. I was picking up toys and smacked the toe in the living room table.

If possible the toe looks even more horrible today. [X(]

Invasion West Coast Day 3
_____________________________________________________________________________

Finally, finally my subs are doing some decent work. And they do so by performing fantastic during the night. Lets get started.

Several subs placed a minefield at Santa Ana.

The S-27 attacks the Mogami not once but twice.

Pretty certain she is a goner. [&o]

Even daylight doesn´t stop the allied subs. [:)]

This is not going to sink her but I doubt she will be making any more bombardments during this operation.

Nothing that changes the war but at least we are sinking some ships.

Invasion West Coast Day 3
_____________________________________________________________________________

The USMC don´t want to be left out of the score sheet today. Considering Jeff is probably struggling with lack of fighters on KB I decided to nibble a little at the edges.

BBfanboy -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (6/28/2016 6:07:44 AM)

Unfortunately S-27 would be using Mark 10 torpedoes which have considerably less BOOM than the Mark 14. I think Mogami has a 60% chance of surviving those three hits, but might need to hole up at Santa Ana to get minor flood and systems damage down. Port strike when you get a chance (recon first of course).

Don´t be such a party pooper! She sunk like a rock I´m sure! [:D]




JohnDillworth -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (6/28/2016 9:20:09 AM)

Looks like death of thousand cuts. bit by bit you are whittling away at his forces. Anything you hit with a torpedo is going to have to go a LONG way to find a drydock




RangerJoe -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (6/28/2016 2:32:51 PM)

Very nice on the AOs! Those might hurt the most. Those DDs and the AK losses will slow down the supply train and/or slow down any evacuation.

I would post a picture of my right foot but this is NOT my AAR.




Canoerebel -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (6/28/2016 3:00:03 PM)

We're lucky Terminus isn't posting photos of his toe.




Cap Mandrake -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (6/28/2016 3:10:52 PM)

What the heck were AO's doing in a coastal hex? Perhaps refueling bombardment ships? You would have to say the mines had a good ROI.

This is true. Even years later I still have flashbacks.




Speedysteve -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (6/28/2016 9:58:39 PM)

Lol. Me too!




JocMeister -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (6/29/2016 5:25:18 AM)

Still no turn. [:(]




JocMeister -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (6/29/2016 5:17:30 PM)

Elsewhere...
_____________________________________________________________________________

This is the first of a 2-stage OP. This is insanely overkill. But when I started prepping for this 9 months ago I had no clue the entire Japanese army would be on the West Coast. [:D]

The 2nd Phase will happen as soon as the ships can return. I don´t have enough lift to do both landings simultaneously. Anyone wants to venture a guess on the destination? [;)]

We have a 3rd big OP happening shortly too. Loading will begin in 3 days... lots of clicks.

West Coast
_____________________________________________________________________________

Tomorrow will be a quiet day. I need to rest my fighters and repair them. It will also give me time to rail in more engineers to the AF at LA which I need for the counter attack. BFs and engineers have now arrived at Bakersfield, Mojave and March Field. They will be operational tomorrow.

The full counterattack is still 3-4 days away. I don´t want to give too much detail on this yet but I´m very optimistic of success. Big question is if I´ll be able to succeed before SD falls. I think how Jeffs first attack there goes will decide the fate of SD.




paullus99 -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (6/29/2016 5:32:47 PM)

Philipines?




Canoerebel -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (6/29/2016 5:38:51 PM)

I'd guess Sumatra, Port Blair or Timor.
