Well, that goes without saying. I think I can say with confidence we are all up to speed on 17th Century Dutch philsophers. Why, there is Grotius, of course, then......ummm...well, anyway, I like young De Groot. I believe he started with an experience level in the low teens. Now, he is contributing to Operation Inchworm. About time he ran into Anne again, too

Aha! Good point but I surmise you still inhabit a linear universe and haven't become "unstuck" like poor Yossarian. This is 1943(b). Any anachronisms can thusly be explained away. After all, Kaga and Akagi are still afloat.

BTW...Blago is too young to have been aboard USS Detroit participating in a sham landing on Tonga in 1943. Nor can it have been his dad as he was more likely following Tito around the mountains of the Balkans (he was Serbian). Not to worry, the "b" appendix can also explain away geographical oddities.

The Japs on Efate are in trouble. 41st Div is 85% ashore in good order while 1st Marine still has HQ elements to land and had some misfortune due to sea mines and shore fire.

I suspect the engineers and 41st Inf Div could take the place by themselves. After two days there is no Japanese air to be seen. Espiritu Santu has a level 4 airfield but may, in fact, not have support troops. Efate is level 3. There are 3 level 4-5 to five arifields on New Caledonia.

This seems like a good time to commit the Jap carriers with very good airfields within range and a huge port avaialable at Noumea (level 9). Of course, the carriers would have to be nearby (Truk or Rabaul) to get there in time to stop the assault forces.

There were T-storms on D-Day but the weather is clearing on D-Day+1. As the capture of the New Hebrides would largely isolate the big Jap bases on New Caledonia, one might expect a big defence. We shall see.

*****Mt. Herman, Efate, April 4, 1943*******

In a rain forest clearing, central Efate, an officerless group of Japanese soldiers debate their next plan of action. They have been chased into the rain forest by thousands of Marines and soldiers. The airfield has fallen. The town has fallen. They are out of ammuntition and have almost no rations. They have no communication with their unit. This is largely due to the fact that their unit was destroyed trying to throw back the American landing force.

Pvt. Kawasaki: We must attack. It is our duty.

Pvt. Honda: Attack, with what?

Pvt. Kawasaki: We have our bayonets. We are superior in hand to hand combat.

Pvt. Mitsubishi: You are a crazy SOB, Kawasaki. Do you know that?

Pvt. Kawasaki: You have sworn fealty to the Emperor.

Pvt. Mitsubishi: Well, perhaps the Emperor should have given us weapons to fight the Americans.

Pvt. Kawasaki: Quiet! An officer will hear you.

Pvt. Mitsubishi: They are all gone. It is quite a shame too. The war is over for us. I want to see my children and wife. Are you coming with us?

Pvt. Kawasaki: It is my duty to stop you.

Pvt. Honda: You would kill your friends? He is right. You are a crazy SOB. <the two men drop their rifles and begin walking back down the mountain toward the airfield. A hundred yards away, a young, bare-breasted native woman appears on the trail, a load of firewood on her head. They are all transfixed by the image which is made even more striking by the effect the bumpy mountian trail has on her body>

Pvt. Kawasaki: <drops his rifle> HEY GUYS! Wait up!

Rear Adm Davidson, head of Pacific Planning is found hunched over his Inianc computing machine after a night of planning the supply routine for the next 3 months of the Pacific Campaign. The heating plant failed during the recent cold snap and he remained at his post doing his duty.

He will be laid to rest in Arlington, as soon as the Seebees figure out how to remove him from his office. His Navy Cross will be presented to his cat during the internment ceremony; the cat commented, "Well, he was a pretty good master; but stupid, as this incident shows. Even I would know to leave the base when the heat was out; and I have 8 lives left to use..."

**********SEAC HQ, Rangoon, April 3, 1943*********

Tall, patrician-looking-patrician guy in a really cool Royal Navy Admiral's uniform: Right, so here it is chaps. Washington are worried about a Jap counterlanding in Burma behind 12th Army. It seems there is a big buildup of sealift capacity in Saigon and the Jap carriers are nowhere to be seen despite simultaneous Allied operations at Tonga, the New Hebrides, the Aru Sea and the Aleutians. Washington have a point.

USAAF liason: <raises hand and is recognized> Sir, you said Washington HAVE a point.

Tall, patrician-looking-patrician guy in a really cool Royal Navy Admiral's uniform: Yes, Col. I did say that.

USAAF liason: <seems uncertain> Well, sir, excuse me but shouldn't that be "Washington HAS a point". I mean, there is only one Washington, unless the state of Washington is in on it too. <now smiles, pleased with his cleverness>

Tall, patrician-looking-patrician guy in a really cool Royal Navy Admiral's uniform: Yes, Col., but WASHINGTON didn't realy raise the issue, did they?

USAAF liason: I am afraid I am confused, sir. Didn't you just say Washington raised the concern.

Staffer 1: I believe what the Admiral is saying, Col., is the city itself did not make the decision.

USAAF liason: Well, yes, techincally. The Pentagon is across the river in Arlington. So, I suppose you could say ARLINGTON made the decision.

Staffer 2: No, no, no. That calls for "one", you used the third person plural "you". ONE could say...

USAAF liason: <turns to staffer 2> Oh yeah? Well ONE is being quite the ass.

Staffer 3: <tries to squelch the building fire> Perhaps the Col. was simply being colloquial, in a charming Colonial fashion.

USN liason: <stands> Now hold on there pal, you can keep your patronzing tone on your side of the pond. As we speak, there are "charming Colonial" destroyers escorting your pint-sized carriers out in the Bay of Bengal because you guys couldn't afford enough escorts.

Staffer 1: <stands> Speaking of inadequate support. Bloody nice show in the Philippines.

USN liason: Oh yeah? How are things in Singapore, pal? And did I mention the Hermes is a piece of crap?

<the room descends into chaos>

*****SEAC Military Hospital, Rangoon, 4 hrs. later*******


A tall, patrician-looking-patrician guy in a really cool Royal Navy Admiral's uniform enters a room full of bandaged men.

Tall, patrician-looking-patrician guy in a really cool Royal Navy Admiral's uniform: Men, I can see we still have co-ordination issues to work on. My original purpose was to ask you to conduct a wargame of a possible Jap landing in Burma and advise me of your findings. I'd like the planning to start as soon as your pain killers have worn off. Are there any questions?

Staffer 1: Yes sir <is recognized with a nod> Sir, you said we have "co-ordination issues to work on".

Tall, patrician-looking-patrician guy in a really cool Royal Navy Admiral's uniform: Yes, Col., I should think that is obvious at this point given the carnage.

Staffer 1: Oh, yes sir, I quite agree. It's just that one shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition..........

****Hour 7 of the 1st Plenary Meeting of SEAC Wargaming Club, April 4, 1943****

Staffer 1 (Umpire):...Right, so let's move on to reconnaisance issues. Red?

Red Team Leader: I want a Daitai of Mavis at Port Blair.

Blue Team Leader: But Port Blair airfield has been abandoned. If they move in there we want one of those red airfield thingys on our map. Then we will bomb the crap out of them the next morning. <blue team laughs among themselves>

Red Team Leader: But that's stupid. How are they going to find out in the middle of the night?

Staffer 1 (Umpire): I am inclined to rule with the Blue Team on this one.

Red Team Leader: BUT THAT'S NOT FAIR! You ALWAYS side with them. You are a closet Allied Fanboy.

Staffer 1 (Umpire): I AM NOT! Look, it is just simply the way it is. Do you want to play or not? Blue gets the little red airfield thingy on their map if you move in Mavis's at night.

Red Team Leader: <crosses arms in a pique..then speaks up> OK, then we want TWO Glen-carrying subs in the Bay of Bengal with 100% spotting ability in a 240 mile radius from each boat.

Blue Team Leader: WHAT? That's ridiculous! How is one ****ty little toy airplane going to cover a 360 degree arc out to 240 miles? What is the endurance on the thing? Plus, you can't just surface in the Bay of Bengal in daylight. You would be spotted by our Cats or PBY's from Chandpur or Ceylon.

Red Team Leader: Everybody does it.

Blue Team Leader: It's still stupid.

Staffer 1 (Umpire): I am inclined to side with the Red Team on this one.

Blue Team Leader: WHAT? You can't be serious. I am thinking a complaining to Admiral Mountbatten that we have a Jap Fanboy in charge.

Staffer 1 (Umpire): Do as you feel you must but you do realize you both sound like children.

Red Team Leader: Ohhhh, sorry Mr. bighsot. <Everyone laughs and Blue Team leader offers a fist bump>

Staffer 1 (Umpire): Look, could we move on now, please? Now...let's see. I would like to cover B-24's on naval attack, air group redeployment, recon by bombardment, combined engineer and artillery attacks and spetznatz reconning before dinner.

Red Team Leader: What is spetznatz?

Staffer 1 (Umpire): You know, those little remnants landed by sub.

Red Team Leader: Oh, yeah, we want that.

Blue Team Leader: That is SOOOO gamey........

That's funny - I did a post about the same issue in my short-lived AAR of this game.

quote:

February 14, 1943, Saigon

Gen FK: He said what?

Intelligence Officer: Our operative in Karachi says that the British Command has a large map of the theater they do their planning on, and if we have planes in an airbase, they place a red airfield symbol on that base in the morning, BEFORE they issue orders to their bomber groups.

FK: That means they must have agents of their own at or near all of our airbases.

IO: That would be my guess, sir.

FK: Do these 'symbols' indicate how many planes are at the base?

IO: Not clear sir, it seems that there might be a couple levels of quantity measurement, but that even low amounts cause them to place a symbol.

FK: And then they bomb the bases that have symbols?

IO: It would seem so.

FK: What if we only have one plane at a base?

IO: It gets a symbol.

FK: One more question - why don't we get similar information on the enemy airfields?

IO: Not clear, but we suspect it has something to do with an order issued by an unofficial intelligence source in Tokyo name Turnfile.

FK: Yes, I've heard of him from my partner, Cuttlefish. I see. So by the Order of Turnfile, the Allies have gained an intelligence advantage over us. Oh well, no one ever said war had to be fair.

Don't be so smug. There is still extraordinary rendition. You will be singing a different tune if we send you to New Guinea and your "questioning" takes place next to a big pot of boiling carrots and celery. Of course, I guess we would have to capture New Guinea first.

*******SEAC HQ, Rangoon, April 5, 1943, Burmese Python Wargame******

Voice of Staffer 1 (umpire):
<heard on PA system> Attention all Burmese Python players, it has come to my attention that some players are trying to peak into the umpire's room during restroom breaks. This is unacceptable. Also, there is a request that all participants bathe at least every two days. Please see to this before Admiral Mountbatten comes by later. Thank you. Game weather today will be...wait for it....thunderstorms <a groan is heard from the Blue Team room>

***SITREP, Operation Inchworm, April 5, 1943****

All Jap resistance on Kai Island has been eliminated. The SPCA replacement representative is still laid up on South Aru after a most unfortunate intestinal malady, therefore, some of Col Irvine's boys, having been transfered to Kai Is. by LCT, are working hard to extend the runway to accomodate B-25's and A-20's. The endangered Kai Island Full Breasted Palm Wren will just have to find another palm tree.

HMS PoW and escorts are laying off Kai to protect supply and troop transports disembarking there. This was too much for the Jap air runits at Amboina to resist. They send over 13 Bettys escorted by 48 Jack and 37 Tonys. A combined USAAF and RAAF force awaits them. 62 P-38's, 13 Spits, 12 Kittyhawk I's and 8 Boomerangs rise to defend the ships. 85 Jap fighters vs 95 Allied. A total of 60 Jap fighters are downed to 46 Allied. 2 Bettys are destroyed, the rest driven off. The kill ratio is 1.5:1.

A second raid in the afternoon of 34 Tonys and Jacks and 6 Bettys confronts a total of 46 Allied fighters. The kill ratio is a bit over 2:1 in favor of the Allies. Again no shipping is hit.

When the weather clears, it may be time for a P-38 sweep over Amboina followed by a big daylight B-24 raid from Darwin. When Amboina is tamped down a bit and the shipping involved in Inchworm is freed up, phase 2 will begin.

Kai Is. has finally been demined, although the the Dutch DD, Van Ghent, has a big hole in her side for her efforts and will be out of the war for months. Shipping losses for Inchworm have all come from sea mines. 2 x LCT's sunk. USS Rathburn, HMNZS Leander and Van Ghent all damaged and will need dry dock time.

In the Aleutians, Amchitka is being refinforced. Previously the island was garrisoned by half a dozen Aleuts, who, if the truth be told, were illegally poaching narwhals when they only had baby seal tags and a single courageous SPCA observer, who, curiously, has gone missing.

In terrible weather, a transport group escorted by USS Richmond, Mahan, Dewey and Cummings, were disembarking supplies, Seabees, aviation support personnel and 4th RCT. A big Jap force from Kiska consisting over over 100 Jacks, Tonys, Sallys, Kates and Bettys found a break in the weather and pounded the transport group, overwhelming the RCAF Kittyhawk Sdrn flying LRCAP from Adak. Mahan and Dewey were sunk by two torps each. Richmond took 3 torps and 4 bomb hits but will likely survive if she can avoid Jap subs. One AK was heavily damaged. All the troops are saely ashore.

Dutch Harbor NorPac HQ; 5 APR 1943

Rear Adm R. (Rusty) Theobald:Ok, that does it for the updates on the air groups in my command; so, what's the story behind this fiasco at Amchitka? I presume that something critical was being unloaded for them to have hung around for an extra day there?

Generic Staff Member:<shuffles papers> Um, yes sir; I have it here sir.
<finally finds the flimsy from the radio room> The commander of Richmond reports that one of the freighters had a broken crane; had to repair it to unload the last EV 110-ASS for the Seebee unit. That delayed their departure and were then struck by the air raid.
He thinks that he can get Richmond to Adak overnight; AK A. Luckenbach is severely hurt and might founder on the way though.

Rear Adm R. (Rusty) Theobald:I don't recall that designation on the CB TOE; what is it? It must have been important to the construction troops.

Generic Staff Member:<pages thru the NORPAC copy of "Official Navy Designations, Pacific Theater, updated 12/42; a tome the size of the whole NYC phone book> Um, yes; here it is. That designation stands for.....um...."Mule, Pack; used in lieu of 1/4 ton Dodge Truck in severe environment; 12 per Naval Construction Battalion".
<closes book slowly>

Rear Adm R. (Rusty) Theobald:A MULE!!! A MOTHER FU*&%$&*% MULE!! THAT AS)(&)(&E GOT A CRUISER CRIPPLED AND 2 DD SUNK FOR A MULE!!.....<throws his coffee mug at the staffer, who agilely ducks; you can see the dents in the Quonset Hut (uninsulated) where this has happened before> ...and IF he brings Richmond in to port, his next duty is Weather Station Nome....if he DOESN'T....well, an IJN commander would know what to do.....

Generic Staff Member:<stammers> Yeeesss siiirr....got it; <jots in notebook in shorthand>

Get Richmond home and go to Nome; don't, better learn to float.

Global cooling in SWPAC:




Like canaries in a coal mine, it is always the poor suffering birds who seem to be hardest hit by man-made climate change.

Those annoying Green African Parrots are all over heavily treed areas of Orange County. Flying vermin they are. Noisy flying vermin in great flocks of 50-100.

Good Gawd!  I haven't read this AAR since I had to leave the campaign and turn it over to people much more qualified then me!  I have nearly spewed several times reading just this page of the AAR.  Great commentary and humor Gentlemen.  Well Done.
