Good job making them react to you, CM and LAS. Keep them jumping!
Do you have enough at Merauke to hit their landing force plus cover/knock out the two airfields in range?

11 x B-17 at Merauke tasked to bomb the airfield at Sorong today.

The are 14 x Hudson III at Merauke on naval attack and can reach Dobo. Some LB-30's at Horn Is can also reach Dobo.

The remainder of 503rd Para Rgt will try to drop on Dobo today. The Leander/Detroit group is headed north from Horn Is.. Portland is headed north from Sydney.

That is not very much. Either they shot their Johnny Wadd at PH or this is just the tip of the spear!

I have to believe there is a SCTF supporting the transports that is unspotted. If we are able to build up the airfield it will still be highly vulnerable to a night surface bombardment. Yamato is still in action. As for the apparent amphbious taffy headed toward Dobo, seems to me they are going to need an entire division as they cannot possibly be prepped for invasion and the defenders are no slouches.

I think JJ will be in for a nasty surprise when Gove becomes operational (probably tomorrow). Then they will have two airfields to suppress.

*************Bali Hai Club, Perth, Dec. 5, 1942(c)**************

Man in fine linen slacks: Yossarian, you crazy SOB, put down your tropical drink and go prep the PBY for a trip to Bathurst.

Hirsute man with tropical drink: New Brunswick?

Man in fine linen slacks: What do you think?

Hirsute man with tropical drink: I'm going to go out on a limb and posit there may be a second place called Bathurst.

Man in fine linen slacks: And you would be right, you geographically impaired SOB.

Hirsute man with tropical drink: You, know, Milo, you are the 1%, you SOB. You know that, right?

Man in fine linen slacks: I would never settle for the 1st percentile, Yossarian. It's an island.

Hirsute man with tropical drink: What is?

Man in fine linen slacks: Bathurst. It's an island near Darwin.

Hirsute man with tropical drink: Darwin?

Man in fine linen slacks: Yes, Darwin.

Hirsute man with tropical drink: Milo, you crazy SOB, Darwin is crawling with Japs.

Man in fine linen slacks: Not Bathurst.

Hirsute man with tropical drink: Let me guess..golf course resort...50 shares at 25% each...never gets built.

Man in fine linen slacks: Yossarian, you are so 1st quarter 1942.

Hirsute man with tropical drink: We're picking up a lost General?

Man in fine linen slacks: Nope.

Hirsute man with tropical drink: Rendezvous with that crazy SOB, Ito?

Man in fine linen slacks: Nope. Southpac is going to land there.

Hirsute man with tropical drink: Ah, a bar then? A new establishemnt?

Man in fine linen slacks: Now you are thinking more like the entrpeneur you could be. A boatlod of SeaBees, hot weather, hard work. What is missing?

Hirsute man with tropical drink: Homely Tannanese women pretending to be Tahitians?

Man in fine linen slacks: No, no, no. They won't have any cash.

Hirsute man with tropical drink: Well, what then?

Man in fine linen slacks: Yossarian, what do you know about mines?

Which data? Tracker can export most of its displays to .csv files. The scenario files can be exported to .csv files.

No, I was going through the ships sunk list and had it listed by "Sunk Nr" and was wondering how to export that list. The list for "Near Port Hedland" is quite large...

No, I was going through the ships sunk list and had it listed by "Sunk Nr" and was wondering how to export that list. The list for "Near Port Hedland" is quite large...

Go to Tracker. Find the sunk ships list, sort it and arrange the columns the way you wish. Then, export it to a CSV file. Once there you can bring it into a spreadsheet as available in Open Office or Libre Office (the replacement as Open Office winding down). Look at one of my AARs where I posted a sunk ships list from the opening turns.

To post it I used the spreadsheet to get it the way I wanted it. Then saved out the PDF, with the page length set so it all fit on one page. I used a little conversion program to convert that PDF to .jpg for posting on the forum. Alternatively, if it all fits on one page in your spreadsheet you can take a screen capture just like you do of game maps and post that.
