'moil' was to good a word from the original so I swapped it for a word in my vocab.

Both Repulse and Frobisher are swimming with the fishes.

Yortkown reached Darwin and so should have Long Island with the 2nd Br. Div. A VMF squadron will attempt to convert to F6F's. These things are great.

A small WJD surface group is inbound toward Vigan or Iba. Have to cancel unloading again except for docked ships. Annoying Little Yerrow Baaahstards. A CL-based SCTF will stay on station at Vigan and accept combat. Kirishima is nowhere to be seen. Carriers will move off to the NW of Vigan about 120 mi to try to stay clear of surface fights.

Somehow, despite the one way rail line, a second WJD unit made it to Lingayen. 7th Aust Div will start flying in from Batangas and the heavy weapons will load up aboard APA's and swing round to Lingayen. Wichita will bombard San Fernando tonight. North Carolina and Massachusetts on their way to Manado to repair 15-19 system damage from topside gunfire hits.

Very well, I'll read The letter.

Status: offline 		The coverage is quite impressive. Well over 7 figures...............Check

$5 discount if the water heater is strapped to the wall..............Now I'm getting all tingly

1 year coverage for $487 for a two story...$482 for a one story with tie-down bolts......Apparently a 2 story is 1% more risky than a 1 story. Sounds like somebody just made up some BS figure to me, but still not a bad price, in fact, how could they possibly offer that?


There has to be a Catch 22....


"Non contiguous masonry walls excluded"...I can live with that


Deductable....$207,805


Idiots! Why did they waste my time? Thank you California Legislature.

I poured a Loose Cannon, got a frozen Crystal Skull out of the O club fridge,to get a jump start, and that little beast of a program had me up half the night. Had to do something waiting for Dan and Johns private rumble to begin, I commenced trying to layer photographs. Started with some AE stuff and wound up trying to stick a pair of of saggy hooters on the SwPac commander. THEN, I read about the head shop in the Philipines and laughed so hard my wife tried to ground me.

I always assumed that the map of Albania on Gorbachev's face was a fortuitous chance of birth or maybe due to a hot chocolate accident at Young Pioneer camp. The notion that it might have been engineered by future Kremlin leaders is quite creepy.

Of course, we don't really know if Gorbachev is even alive in the (c) time thread. Maybe the invasion of Luzon or Burma in '43 will mess things up. One thing for sure, if alcohol is needed for sterilization or cell fixation for the experiments, Comrade Private Yeltsin will be Johnny on the spot.

The Royals at Yorktown? Isn't that a bit of an operational risk for national sovereignty? Just make sure that King George keeps his distance, will ya?

That is a good point. I hope they aren't still sore about that. After all, we did let them burn down the White House once just to make up.

So now that you are in Manila what is the enemy force there? ETA on wrapping up the PI?

Also, $207k deductible for the California quake home insurance? That's insane. Might as well donate money to your local insurance company executive

I think that is just to keep the riff-raff from getting earthquake insurance. It's only for the most desirable clients - those with no kids and such.

If I recall in Alfred's dissertation on repair in The War Room, devices like turrets and radar need a certain level of base for repair. Naval Support squads and ARs or ARDs do not suffice. For 16" turrets I believe a level 8 or 9 port is needed.

Status: offline 		So I go to one of my colleagues retirement party a while back. The guy worked till he was 85! He didn't have 3 ex wives, a huge mortgage, parasitic larvae...nothing..he just liked working.

Fun party. I gave a little talk where I remarked about his amazing equanimity. The guy didn't even complain about the *#&@(@)&$ Electronic Medical Record, medicaid patients with I-phone 5's, the government..NOTHING!

Anyway, I am getting out of sequence. Before dinner, I am at a table with a bunch of docs and this early 20-something Vietnamese woman with bleach blonde hair but quite an astounding "frame" enters the room as one of the guests. The women at the table just tear her to shreds behind her back..and these are professional women in their 30's and 40's. It was the most amazing thing. They were like a NASCAR pit crew. There was no need for central control. They all knew instinctively what to do. When one would stop for a breath the next would take over.

Now, I will admit the bleached hair and gray-green colored contacts were over the top...but...Santa Maria! There was a reason all the women went into attack mode. I tried to play along because SG was sitting next to me, even commenting about a likely drapes/carpet mismatch (sadly the old gag had to be explained to one of the docs). Anyway, after the event was over, Stardust Nguyen (made up name...don't try to Google it) came up to me and went on and on about how much she liked my talk. Now, maybe I got a few chuckles but I could tell I was being buttered up. I am trying not to look too interested because I know SG is patrolling the room. She laughs at every stupid place-occupying remark I make. It's so obvious but it feels like a James Bond movie or something because she is so...ummm...athletic-looking. The only thing missing is the clever dialogue.

Suddenly, Stardust's smile disappears...she looks over my shoulder.."Oh, you're his wife?"

Oh sure...NOW you tell me. I had a feering it was something like that. Note how the "0" by the after turret is red. It makes sense because a 16 inch gun turret would need a crane the szie of Rhode Island if you had to lift the thing. .

Anyway, the welding crew may get a good look at how damage happens in the first place.

JJ has 52K wee Jap dobbers at Manira and nearly 2 1/2x the 400 AV we have there. There is no immediate hope of capturing Manira. Bataan had 42K supply when we "captured" the hex. I guarantee Manira has 100K at least. The current plan is capture Aparri. Beseige Clark and Manira.

Wait, wouldn't SHE be the one with the fortune cookie? I'm confused. This seems to be a double entendre on top of allegory.

This is more confusing than AE ship repair rules.

Here is what she has so far. Nice, but he is waaay too skinny and I don't get the horns. Plus, I don't think you sit down like that when using a jeep-mounted .50 cal. Any veterans know the answer to that question?

In fairness, it is true the rations were getting a bit thin on New Caledonia at the end.

Ermmm... Is it just me but isn't that turret OK and you are just out of 16" ammo!!!
(otherwise the Number column would be red )

Maybe it's the stevedores you should be talking to... Either that or someone welded over the ammo loading hatches!!!

D'oh! Why did the front magazine reload and not the aft? Is it possible the remaining sytem damage is to the magazine, then? I will go back to the last turn and try.
