Apparently Xargun has tired of my daily pasting of Rangoon. A weak raid of bettys and nell's took a poke at Dacca overnight. Escorted by P40s Chinese SB 2s hit the Japanese airbase at Kungchang do little damage, but hopefully reminding Xargun that I do still have an air force in China. He will have to deal with it before he pound my ground troops from the air. I also got 8 kills when he sent dive bombers in to Lanchow unescorted. 1st Lt Rea of the 24th C got five in one day! Librators and Fortress (100 of them)hit Rangoon for a 3rd day. Hopefully this serious of attacks has broken his airpower in Burma for a while. LOL as Im thinking that he makes another fighter sweep over Pagen knocking down more Hurricanes..but taking at least 2 losses. My raid over Palembang has forced him to move zeros there...excellant. Ouch speaking of raids...49 Nells pounded Koepang today. He did minimal damage to the airfield...but it was a surprise. My hudsons are getting mighty good at putting bombs into his ships north of Port Moresby. In Lanchow his engineers managed to reduce the forts to level 8. It cost him 8000 troops to do that.

Caught another sub south of Pearl seeking my carriers...depth charged her to davy jones' locker. The HMS Trusty caught and sank a troop ship in the straits of malacca. Another day of bombing over Rangoon put another 40 hits into the airfield there thanks to Allied bombers. My AAF guys in Lanchow picked up 5 more kills today in various air action over that embattled city.

4-18-42 West Coast The 161st RCT and the 47th FG (P-39s)continues for Pearl Harbor. The USS Idaho and escorts continues for Pearl. Midway Midway remains solid. Pearl Harbor USS Long Beach Is attacking subs south of Pearl as an ASW platform. Hornet I changed my mind and sent hornet south west towards Funafuti Island. Intel was reporting a destroyer and a AP there. No sign of them today though. I will turn her north again to cover landings at Baker with supplies and troops. Lexington (14 sys ) Continues to fly ASW missions ahead of Enterprise and Saratoga. Saratoga 31 Sys but 77 float. Continues to inch towards Pearl Harbor...she has lots speed and remains 3 days out of the harbor...doesnt look good. Enterprise (78 sys, 72 float,) The flooding has slowed a bit..but not enough...will not make pearl as I believe at her speed she is still 5 days out and is adding 2 points of flood damage a day. Canton Island Well the Xargun threat has been at least temporarily nullified. I have more then enough troops to protect Canton. Id like to get all the Americal fragments together on Baker. I will be sending escorted supply ships there soon (depending on carrier availabilty). I do not think Xargun will send more carriers into the region in the near term. I am moving more members of the Americal division to Baker...I will use Hornet to cover them as they get closer to the island. Alaska No news. Sea of Japan A new region. Probably temporary. I have flood the area with submarines hoping to pick of Xargun's Carriers as they try to close to the imperial homeland China Nothing new. I continue to attack his units with my Chinese bombers in Lanchow. I have decided to loan china command all my heavies currently pounding Rangoon now that I consider that airfield out of commission for now and once they get their morale up. Burma My heavies are all going to withdraw out of Burma back to Ceylon for R and R. I think Rangoon's airbase is out of commission for now. I will revisit it from time to time to help remind him why its a bad idea to consolidate all that air there. Malaya Is his. DEI It appears he has troops landing at the center of Timor Island. Im sending my Dutch torpedo planes and Australian Beaufighters in to try and break up the landing. Australia Nothing new. PM Sending the B-25s of the 41st bomb group to hit Lae. I curiously have seen almost no action in this theatre. Makes me very worried something big is coming. I also have no idea where any of his aircraft carriers are currently. Noumea Secure PI Just bits and pieces left. Solomon Islands A level 3 airfield, plenty of supply and no Japanese anywhere near the place. What's not to like. The place needs more combat troops. They will come, but there are none free in the area so they will have to come all the way from pearl. Carrier Group One. Lexington and Enterprise See above. Carrier Group Two Saratoga See above. Carrier Group Three Hornet Moving north to support resupply efforts at Baker. Force A Hermes and Indomintable Underway towards the Canton area. Force B Formidible Underway towards Ceylon will escort supply ships to Akyab 27 days until Illustrious 88 days until Wasp 180 days until Nassau My first days of making him work harder is going well...I picked up points and only down 3 to 1. I need a major major victory somewhere though. [/quote]

rroberson -> RE: 4-18-42 (5/8/2005 10:19:35 PM)
He struck Port Moresby with a 50 plane raid today. 5 Runway hits nothign serious. I struck Lae with 30 mitchell bombers causing 40 deaths among Xargun's troops. My Allied bombers out of Koepang attacked a small task group off Timor putting a torpedo into one of Xargun's destroyers.

rroberson -> 4-19-42 (5/10/2005 5:24:36 AM)
The 24th FG (c) dropped 6 Xargunite plays over Sining this morning. He struck the Taung Gyi airfield hard today. I had just moved some Buffalos in there. Guess he didnt like that. He sent a big Nell mission (59 plus) south and bombed the Port of Broome. Hit no shipping and did 1 damage. One of his submarines torpedoed Hobart south of Pearl. USS Enterprise rolled over and sank south of Pearl Harbor...not unexpected.

rroberson -> RE: 4-18-42 (5/11/2005 3:42:43 AM)
4-18-42 West Coast 2nd Marine division is boarding APs in San Diego for their trip to Canton Island. Midway Midway remains solid. Pearl Harbor USS Long Beach Is attacking subs south of Pearl as an ASW platform. Hornet Refueling northeast of Baker Island...going to cover a small supply ship headed to Baker and then linger well east waiting for troop convoys. Lexington (14 sys ) Continues to fly ASW missions ahead of Saratoga. Saratoga 31 Sys but 78 float. Continues to inch towards Pearl Harbor...probably still two days out at her speed, but her float damage has slowed so she might make it in. Enterprise Picked up 18 float damage points in 2 days, floundered and sank off Pearl. Canton Island I have a small supply convoy headed into Baker. I plan to follow that up with troops as soon as I can get some transports bearing the Americal division in the right area. I have a transport group unloading supplies at Canton now that I will send to Palmya to pick them up. Indomitable Now in the Canton Island area...will swap out aircraft (Bad british birds for American bombers) there and support my action against Tarawa once all the pieces are in place. Alaska No news. Off Japan Continuing to fill this area with subs hunting carriers. China The 24th FG(C) continues to make life difficult for Xargun over Lanchow. Burma No heavy action here. My bombers are in R and R at Ceylon and Im sure his airfields at Rangoon are trying to recover. Malaya Is his. DEI It appears he has troops landing at the center of Timor Island. Im sending my Dutch torpedo planes and Australian Beaufighters in to try and break up the landing. Australia Slid some fighters to broome in case he decides to revisit it with Nells. PM Sending the B-25s of the 41st bomb group to hit Lae. I curiously have seen almost no action in this theatre. Makes me very worried something big is coming. I also have no idea where any of his aircraft carriers are currently. I have ordered the 11th BG in to strike Rabaul. They will be here for only one day as I ahve overcrowed the airfield here. Noumea Secure PI Just bits and pieces left. Solomon Islands No new news Carrier Group One. Lexington and See above. Carrier Group Two Saratoga See above. Carrier Group Three Hornet Moving north to support resupply efforts at Baker. Force A Hermes and Indomintable See above Force B Formidible Underway towards Ceylon will escort supply ships to Akyab 25 days until Illustrious 86 days until Wasp 178 days until Nassau

rroberson -> RE: 4-18-42 (5/11/2005 5:38:18 AM)
The 11th BG (B-17s) Struck Rabaul and caused 11 Runway hits. No doubt that will get a bomber response from Xargun. He used his Bettys to pound my little raiding party at Gasmata (delivered by submarine yesterday)...he probably dropped more bombs there then troops he was trying to bomb. He has moved the 4th Mixed Regiment into Lae, easily outnumber the Australian troops I have next to him (thanks to recon). I will likely withdraw them.

rroberson -> 4-19-42 (5/12/2005 8:40:56 PM)
Not really much to report in today's episode. A lot of air war over China and Burma....the day was as quiet considering there is a war on. That being said...i continue to gear up for my Limited offensive in Burma. I intend to move infantry forward out of Mandalay and start towards Rangoon. I am also moving units up out of Akyab. About two days before the units are due to arrive I will slide my heavies (about 200 B-17s from several big groups) into Burma and level Rangoon. A couple of days of that should have Xarguns forces shocked and I will hit them from the ground. I hope the threat of the loss of Rangoon will force him to take some pressure off of China (moving air units) and DEI (moving ground units). We will see. I intend to kick this off in about 10 days depending on how quickly the British units I have tabbed for this operation can get into position.

rroberson -> 4-22-42 (5/13/2005 4:37:41 AM)
4-22-42 West Coast The 2nd Marine Division is headed to Pearl. The 161st RCT and the 47th FG (P-39s)continues for Pearl Harbor. The USS Idaho and escorts continue for Pearl. Midway Midway remains solid. Pearl Harbor USS Long Beach Is headed to Pearl to refuel and then north of Hawaii for ASW patrols. Lexington (13 sys ) In pearl rearming. Saratoga 31 Sys but 67 float. In pearl. Whew. I saved one out of three. Enterprise (78 sys, 100 float,) Sank about a day out of Pearl Canton Island Hornet Southeast of Baker Island steaming south towards the Royal Navy. Indomitable and Hermes Have taken on American aircraft. Should be useful and will proceed north to Pearl. Will catch up with Hornet and then off to Lunga. Alaska No news. Sea of Japan No sign of his carriers. China Nothing new to report. Burma All my air units are standing down and preparing for the great May offensive. Formidible Is steaming southwest of Ceylon she will escort supply groups about halfway to Akyab before running for Ceylon...(the bettys would eat her alive) Malaya Is his. DEI It appears he has troops landing at the center of Timor Island. Im sending my Dutch torpedo planes and Australian Beaufighters in to try and break up the landing. Australia Nothing new. PM Going quietly here. Noumea Secure PI Just bits and pieces left. Solomon Islands According to my intel, he has a base unit headed this way. If he has a base unit, he probably has troops and carriers. Because of this, I have changed Hornet's orders she will steam south catch up with the British Carriers then west to Lunga. 25 days until Illustrious 86 days until Wasp 178 days until Nassau Looks like his next target will be Guadalcanal. I have air units there...but a sustained carrier strike will level the airfield there. Should be fun..nice to know he is coming...just a matter of how much time I have to get Hornet and the RN there.

rroberson -> pictures (5/13/2005 4:42:32 AM)
Okay just one of my sig int...didnt want xarg to know I was reading my sig ints again [:'(] [image]local://upfiles/12111/52EEF42A0F284C5DA473EB8CDF17C75C.jpg[/image]

rroberson -> RE: pictures (5/13/2005 9:54:45 AM)
I adjusted my British bombers to strike the airfield at Kweiyang today. Came up roses destroying fighters and recon planes on the ground. His Nells out of Rangoon are flying again...they hit a resupply shop at Andaman Island. He has landed troops on tiny Kiriwina Island...I may have to fix that :P Another mostly quiet day..which of course benefits me.

rroberson -> 4-23-42 (5/15/2005 9:55:55 PM)
Xargun, tired of seeing P-40s prowling the skies of Lanchow took a poke at the airbase there overnight...no hits. I hit Kweiyang with my British air force in China today...did 10 runway hits and shot up a number of recon and bombers on the ground. The 11th BG (B-17) ran a small raid over Palmebang doing a couple of oil hits. I think he finally noticed the Australians at Gili...he ran an ineffective Betty raid against them.

rroberson -> RE: 4-24-42 (5/16/2005 1:39:39 AM)
My British air struck Kweiyang for a second day causing more Runway hits. Zeros were defending the airfield today..time to switch targets again. He swept in and shot the hell out of a bunch of Hurricanes again. Time to surpress that Rangoon airfield methinks. THe air over Lanchow is a very danger place for him to send dive bombers in with only Nates covering him. 15 Japanese planes fell to the guns of the 24th FG (C). Koepang Hudson's caught and blasted an AK bearing fuel off Timor...

rroberson -> 4-25-42 (5/17/2005 11:10:18 PM)
I think he is tired of losing planes over Lanchow...today he sent a Zero fighter sweep in. We exchanged aircraft. I sent my Akyab airforce back in to shoot of Rangoon this morning...8 runway hits...cost me a couple of aircraft though. He shot down six more hurricanes over Pagan. I sent part of the 11th BG (B-17s) to Singapore and struck the Battleship Ise with two bombs. My Beaufighters at Koepang put a torpedo into an AK of Dili (Timor).

rroberson -> 4-26-42 (5/17/2005 11:48:21 PM)
Been a few days since I have done this...my apologies...Xargun sent out several turns on sunday and I thought it was more important to process them then write about my notes :)...here you go. 4-26-42 West Coast I have another big transport group loading up with the 40th RCT they will go to Pearl. The 161st RCT and the 47th FG (P-39s)is about 3 days out of Pearl. The 2nd Marines are also about 3 days out of Pearl. The USS Idaho and escorts continue for Pearl. Midway Midway remains solid. Pearl Harbor USS Long Beach Is making ASW patrols Northeast of Pearl hoping to clear the seas of any submarines that might jump on the inbound transport groups. I have ordered West Virgina and Maryland to depart Pearl and head towards San Francisco. I have seen very very little submarine activity northeast of Pearl and feel like I can get both these heavies back to the west coast. I have 5 destroyers escorting them. Lexington (11 sys ) In pearl rearming. Saratoga 31 Sys but 13 float. In Pearl Repairing. Canton Island Building up Canton...trying to get more supplies to Baker. Hornet Racing to catch up with the RN Indomitable and Hermes. Indomitable and Hermes Are headed towards Lunga at top speed to intervene in a possible enemy landing there. Alaska No news. Sea of Japan No sign of his carriers. China Nothing new to report. Burma I have close to 200 heavy bombers prepped at the airfield of Dacca. They will hit Rangoon for 2 days Raheng for a day and then transfer to Chungking for strikes against the Imperial Army in China. Malaya Is his. DEI Ny Beaufighters struck and AK off Timor...I think he is either funneling in troops and supplies to his forces there. Australia Nothing new. PM I havent seen much in the way of air action from him here. I am clueless to what he is doing. Noumea Secure PI Just bits and pieces left. Solomon Islands I patiently await his forces. MY intel reported one of his base units was training for Lunga. No sign of them yet. I will have 3 carriers in the area soon...we will see. 19 days until Illustrious 80 days until Wasp 172 days until Nassau I await the arrival of his forces at Lunga. I have enough combat troops and airpower to contest any landing short of a division. I have overworked Hornet, Hermes, and Indomitable as well as 4 Royal Navy Battleships steaming towards Lunga. It could get loud if he actually shows up.

rroberson -> RE: 4-26-42 (5/20/2005 5:26:15 AM)
16,000 Xargunite troops died or were wounded in fighting around Lanchow. This is the single greatest amount of causalties I have ever seen in game...he may eventually take Lanchow...but the price I am extracting ...absolutely brillant! On the other hand if numbers are to be believed he wiped out British airpower in Burma...shooting down 38 bombers over Rangoon. 1st Lt Wirth of the 24th FG (C) scored 5 kills today over China bringing his number up to 19 Japanese planes downed. I find it curious that for the 2nd day in a row...none of my American heavies flew out of Dacca. Today it cost the British heavily. Im sure the game has adjusted my attack settings somehow...dammit. Hmmm not sure here. NO reason I can see why they are not flying...plenty of supplies (50K plus) big enough field level 5...plenty of support (300 plus)...I should see winged death over Rangoon...yet...I dont..typical. Now I get to withdraw my British air...to let them rebuild and Xargun gets to crow about a great air victory.

rroberson -> 4-27-42 (5/24/2005 6:17:18 AM)
Well heck...old Xarg opened the day with a naval bombardment of Baker Island. SO goes all that naval search I have been flying...of course all my carriers are well out of range (Sara laid up, Lexington at Pearl and Hornet steaming to Guadalcanal). I struck his airfield at Sian, mostly because it was an opportunity to strike him where I knew he didnt have a lot of fighter CAP. My American heavy bombers got into the air over Rangoon today...if the report is to be believed I shot down 10 zeros while losing double that in bombers and fighters....one never knows...what I do know is I killed 400 Xargunites on the ground did 41 runway hits and 17 airbase hits and that makes up for yesterdays abomination.

rroberson -> 4-28-42 (5/24/2005 7:23:19 AM)
4-28-42 West Coast Formed another task force to carry troops and aircraft, sadly they will go out unescorted...but I have been raising hell with Xarg's subs lately and feel like the threat is somewhat dimished north of Pearl. Midway Midway remains solid. Pearl Harbor USS Long Beach Is making ASW patrols Northeast of Pearl hoping to clear the seas of any submarines that might jump on the inbound transport groups. Lexington (11 sys ) I have formed a new air combat group around Lexington. I will be sending her in the general direction of Baker Island...If old Xargun is planning more raids...or better yet landings I hope to get her in place to interupt them. Saratoga 30 Sys but 0 float. In Pearl Repairing. Canton Island He surprised me with his bombardment of Baker...it did eradicate my small supply build up there. Back to air transport of it until I can get a merchant ship in. Alaska No news. Sea of Japan No sign of his carriers. China The air war continues..he tried night bombing at Lanchow, but my fighters are long gone...for now :). Burma Heavy air battles over Rangoon...according to the reports he killed 38 planes in the air today while I got 10...I however killed 55 on the ground...I have little doubt most of those were in Rangoon. Unfortuntely, my American heavy bombers are wrecked morale wise (he put up a ton of fighters) so I will have to withdraw them to Ceylon once again. I did cause about 25 damage to his airfield...he has over 60 fighters and 100 plus aux (likely bombers) there now. I will strike it again today (hopefully) with another 100 plus bombers out of Dacca. I am attempting to discouraging him from basing his bombers at Rangoon so I can resupply Akyab....part of that limited spring offensive :). Malaya Is his. DEI Nothing new to report. Australia Mostly rearranging air units PM Gili came online today ...I moved a group of Beaufighters there. Noumea Secure PI Just bits and pieces left. Solomon Islands I patiently await his forces. MY intel reported one of his base units was training for Lunga. No sign of them yet. I will have 3 carriers in the area soon...we will see. Hornet Racing to catch up with the RN Indomitable and Hermes. Indomitable and Hermes Are headed towards Lunga at top speed to intervene in a possible enemy landing there. 17 days until Illustrious 78 days until Wasp 170 days until Nassau I await the arrival of his forces at Lunga. I have enough combat troops and airpower to contest any landing short of a division. I have overworked Hornet, Hermes, and Indomitable as well as 4 Royal Navy Battleships steaming towards Lunga.

rroberson -> 4-28-42 (5/26/2005 3:40:28 AM)
MY British bombers kicked off strategic bombing month with strikes against the heavy industry of Sian doing 4 damage....it will be interesting to see how Xargun responds to these strikes. The 11th and 5th BGs (B17s) both hit Rangoon this evening...doing 18 Runway hits killing about 120 of his troopers. I went with a high level raid (33K) Less effective but maybe it will allow me to sustain a longer campaign against Rangoon. Slow day overall...the way we like them :).

rroberson -> 4-29-42 (5/27/2005 5:35:56 AM)
Nothing major to report...my heavy raid against Shanghai netted major HI hits...IM sure he will shift his fighters around...and Ill pick a new target tomorrow.

Capt. Harlock -> RE: 4-29-42 (5/27/2005 10:36:19 PM)
Shanghai?? How did you manage to get bombers all the way to there? (And this early in the war, too.)

rroberson -> 4-30-42 (5/28/2005 9:36:36 PM)
Bad night for my ASW forces as one of his subs struck the Destroyer Lamson with a torpedo. MY first indication of his intent at Guadalcanal. 30 Betty bombers made their first strike against Lunga overnight. Apparently he didnt enjoy the airstrike at Shanghai...he bombed the airfields of CHungking where I staged the Liberators out of...did quite a bit of damage. Those Liberators joined the 7th BG (B-17s) and attacked Hong Kong today doing 26 HI hits. He has stepped up his air campaign against Batavia making 2 raids against it in the morning...my guess is that is his next DEI target for invasion. He sent his Nells out to Raid Derby causing some damage to a minesweeper in port there. I sent more B17s into Rangoon during the evening on a high level raid...very ineffective. A busy day in the air compared to yesterday.

rroberson -> 5-1-42 (5/30/2005 2:48:03 AM)
Xargun is getting rather tired of the air war in Burma...he took an overnight poke at my B17 base in Dacca..his raid was ineffective. He also struck Moresby with night bombers out of truck destroying a Kittyhawk. My British air continues to pay a heavy price over Rangoon...he knocked down 15 to 20 planes in the morning raid. The Americans followed up the British with better results doing 11 more runway hits and a couple of supply. I wonder if he has accepted that Lanchow just isnt going to roll over..he hasnt made much in the way of aggressive offensive moves since he lost 16K worth of his Xargunites in that one battle.

rroberson -> 5-2-42 (5/30/2005 3:45:51 AM)
5-2-42 West Coast 2 More Task forces have departed the West Coast. One full of fuel for Australia...the other full of troops that will ultimately end up either in the South Pacific or Tarawa. I think I have finally minimized his submarine threat in this area. The cost was very heavy...live and learn. Midway Midway remains solid. Pearl Harbor USS Long Beach Continues to make ASW patrols north of Pearl to help inbound convoys. For the first time in as long as I can remember I have no subs sited in either Pearl or the West Coast operating areas. Saratoga 29 Sys. In Pearl Repairing. Canton Island Lexington (11 sys ) Is operating northeast of Baker Island. If his warships make an appearance I would like to surprise him...otherwise they are guarding inbound convoys (Baker) for the troops here. Alaska No news. Sea of Japan No sign of his carriers. China I have begun to move American heavy bomber groups into the area and launching them against his industry and manpower. I know its forcing him to leave fighters everywhere, which is good, but I still watch the morale of my heavy groups drop like a rock after a day or two of missions. Low level bombing missions Id understand, but much of my heavy bombing is from 35K...let's just be glad these pilots aren't in Europe. Burma I am very please with my air war in Burma. They took some heavy losses (over Rangoon) but it diverted a lot of Xargun's fighters to protect Rangoon. It also allowed me to get in and resupply Andaman. I have 2 resupply groups headed towards Akyab currently. Once they get close I will again strike Rangoon hard and often. Today however I am going to strike his fighter base at Raheng which has become quite an irritant. May is a very good month to be British. Massive upgrades of aircraft types. Malaya Is his. DEI Nothing new to report. Australia I am shifting some transport ships to Northern Australia. I have the 6th Australian coming around the corner..I intend to land them at Timor. I also intend to take back the islands of Tenibar, Aru and Kai. I'm sure he will notice :). I have managed to build up a huge supply and fuel base in Australia. So much so that I will concentrate my shipping efforts in the Central and South Pacific for months if not a year or so. PM All's quiet. I have shift a new squadron of Beaufighters in to give the other group a chance to rest. Noumea Secure PI Just bits and pieces left. Solomon Islands I have 3 carriers in the area. I am sending another resupply convoy (from Auckland) here..but they are a good week or so away. No raids from his Bettys today..but we will see. Hornet Steaming south of Lunga with the British. Indomitable and Hermes Steaming south of Lunga with the Americans. 13 days until Illustrious 74 days until Wasp 166 days until Nassau

rroberson -> 5-2-42 (6/4/2005 4:37:25 AM)
More high level bombing...this time over Hong Kong as my heavies struck his manpower centers for 7 points. Xarg's Oil center of Amboina felt B17 raids doing at least 1 hit. I also struck Rahaeng with an 80 bomber raid in attempt to put his fighter field out of commission. My Dutch torpedo bombers made a nuissance out of their sevles off Kendari attacking a couple of his ASW destroyers.

rroberson -> RE: 5-2-42 (6/11/2005 3:14:33 AM)
Sorry for the lack of updates. I believe old Xarg has just been insanely busy as of late (I got one turn last week). He is now on vacation for the next couple of weeks. So...we are suspended until he returns. Rob

rroberson -> RE: 5-4-42 (6/24/2005 4:11:56 AM)
We're back [&o] I started the morning off with a nice night raid on Rangoon. Less effective then daylight bombing but I hope it will also help with the incessantly bad morale of my heavy bomber crews. When we last left off Xargun was attempting to shut down my heavy bomber bases in China. Today's raid against Yunan caused some damage to the airbase byt nothing serious. My RAAF out of PM struck another one of his transport groups off of Lae killing about 30 Xargunites. The siege of Lanchow continues. I hope I have made this a place where Xargunites fear to go...sorta like the Russian front ;).

rroberson -> RE: 5-4-42 (6/26/2005 11:43:17 PM)
Another night of bombing for rangoon did around 6 runway hits...nothing major..but we will keep at it. He struck at Lunga hard today...in the air his fighters brought down 4 of mine...for just one of his planes. He struck at Lunga once before...and then backed off. It will be interesting to see what he does now. My ASW forces are getting quit good...attacking no less then 5 of his submarines around Hawaii.
