Agreed. It's obvious that the English Gentleman from Kandy House would have a fancy port, if he had any sort of port whatever.


Or to drink with the cheese course.

Oh, oh, oh! I know what an Aggie Weston is. 4th rotor, setting A-7. The architecture and blinds and open verandas and windows do NOT look like England.

The archway looks Moorish. Gibraltar maybe?

That surface group North of Jolo did not show up. The AK's and the CL group should be on station now. We may have just won the fight for Jolo.

We brought the equivalent of a USMC division (even if I mixed "Hollywoood Marines" with 2nd Div Marines ) plus 2 combat engineer units and a Bn of Stuarts. Curiously the attack strength was 2x the nominal value. I didn't know that could happen. Pretend I didnt read the manual. Also not quite sure how the defenders were less prepared. they must have been there 6 months at least. This powerfully secures the right flank of the salient and threatens the North coast of New Guinea.

Ground combat at Sorong (82,107)

Allied Deliberate attack

Attacking force 14992 troops, 282 guns, 371 vehicles, Assault Value = 584

Defending force 5836 troops, 32 guns, 96 vehicles, Assault Value = 196

Allied engineers reduce fortifications to 2

Allied adjusted assault: 1041

Japanese adjusted defense: 57

Allied assault odds: 18 to 1 (fort level 2)

Allied forces CAPTURE Sorong !!!

Sometimes you just have to joust on even terms...and take a lance to the shoulder....and it hurts like ****. Sadly the B-24's at Boela fail to take advantage of the opportunity after the sacrifice of the P-38 squadron. I'm not naming names but I suspect union acitivty.

With milspeak like that, aren't you going to give the reader the uncomfortable image of forethought, pranning and competence in your offensive thrust? Wouldn't that be a departure from the tone of this magnificent World's Worst AAR? Is Lord Admiral Sprior OK with this? I'm so confused...
