My dear sir. Please note the Capn's request for input from ALSP-the Lord Admiral himself. If he wanted input from the likes of us, he'd ask for the opinion of the peanut gallery / rabble / tittering monkeys.

*snicker* "tittering"...

Ah! So what is ALSP? You mean it's not "All Loyal Strategizing Persons"?

Also there are 2 armourd brigades and one Indian infantry division moving from Kalmeyo.


I dictated this post with Dragon dictation.

Educate imagine it is not very good with Indiana and Bernice placed names

Also this, 40 bombers sorties by Jap carriers (all Kates) is quite anemic. I dont think that is a fleet carrier.

Cap'n-any further identification on the origin of the Val unit? It could be either an LBA unit or a 'bought' air wing from a sunk carrier. The latter would take some time to become available in the cue again-1 year IIRC. That's about right, given your bloodbath(s) in and around New Scotland and New (and Improved) Hebrides.

Fairly capable drivers. 20% hit rate of undamaged DD's doing figure-of-eights at 30 kts. 40% hit rate on an unescorted AK. 40 morning Val sorites. Fewer of them now than existed at the start of the turn.

D3A1's in Burma.

There is this too. The people on the PRK are eating grass and bark and and there is enough material in those caps to make a bedspread.
