High Level Staff Flunkie: What do you want me to do with this Maj. Kyi character, sir? Send him back?

Lieutenant General Walter Krueger, Commander, Sixth Army:No, can't send him back. That little **** Stilwell will complain to Washington and then Washington will be all over us. Put him in charge of logistics.

High Level Staff Flunkie: Logistics?!? Sir, do you really think it is a good idea? Don't forget what happened to 7th Australian.

Lieutenant General Walter Krueger, Commander, Sixth Army: Well, not the whole army, Colonel. Tell him he is charge of supplies for Sixth Army officer's mess. <Smiles broadly>

Well, the powdered eggs business was new...I think. I couldn't remember if this already happened in WWII(c). It might have been WWII(b).

Some day, I am going to give up childish, racist jokes and get religion again. I just don't want to do it too early in life and get stuck making a bunch of donations.

I'm tellin' ya'-the death bed confession is the way to go. By then your will is all set, and you don't have to worry about those pesky agencies trying to drum up donations-just refer them to your lawyer.

Please don't give up your hobbies (you mentioned above) before the end of this game. We'd hate to have a boring ol' cut-and-paste combat report (YAWN) AAR.

Status: offline 		So I go to a birfday party for SG's cousin on Sunday. Nice party at El Adobe in San Juan Capistrano. The restaurant is built around an old adobe building from the early 19th century. Pretty cool place. I realize early 19th century does not impress Europeans but this is Southern California. Around here a hot dog stand from the 1950's gets a brass plaque with a historic landmark designation. Anyway, this was another one of Nixon's favorite restaurants, except he never took Bebe Rebozo there as far as I can tell (not that there is anything wrong with that). All the pictures at El Adobe are of Nixon and Pat (who, surprisingly does not have a drink in her hand in any of the pictures).

Right, so I am wandering around with my Dos Equis in this patio area looking at the flowers and these two 3 year old towhead boys I don't know run up to me, completely amped up on ice cream or their uncle's margarita or something. The first one starts pushing hard on my leg. So I pretend to fight back and the other runs up and punches me in the cajones as hard as he can. Then the two delinquents run away laughing maniacally. So I'm standing there in the patio with my Dos Equis, with a fake smile on my face, trying to pretend I am not hurt. Punked by 3 year olds! Oh, the shame! Later, I got even with the ring-leader. I secretly put half melted chocolate ice cream on his chair.

That is the best thing about Christianity. All you need to do is ask for forgiveness in a convincing fashion and all is forgiven. It's quite a good gig, really. I am pretty sure the Shinto Boys have to at least go bang a gong or something. Not sure what Odin requires to get into Valhalla, but if requires a burning Viking long boat then you've got the EPA and Coastal Commission to deal with.

Your notion is very tempting but one must be very careful not to step in front of a bus.

I never did figure out who their parent's were. It was an open bar. I think they were AWOL.

The ring leader was clearly the "leg-pusher". I could tell by body language when they planning another attack. The "ball-puncher" kid was "yust followink ze orders". You don't often see the term "evil genius" applied to a 3 1/2 year old but this kid is going to be the Don of the schoolyard when he is 8. He will have the 6th graders booking college football bets.

Are you kidding? At least they had shoes. It was a banquet room with adjoining bar.


This was the sophisticated side of her family. Her bio-mom's ex husband was once assigned the task of discarding some worn counterfeiting plates by a "business" enterprise in Chicago. Idiot threw them off a bridge into a dry ravine thinking it was a river and somebody found them.

Beyond the obvious failings of the staff flunkies, of course-was this airfield grossly overstacked? Night bombing seems to cause much more damage on overstacked airfields, IME. When I've backed off of that, night bombing effects mitigated further.

It's a level 3 field. Not overstacked. Maybe 40-50 aircraft.

Night air raid. Damn lot of destruction for three rousy Herens. Not sure why the idiot staff flunkies left C-47's there.


Beyond the obvious failings of the staff flunkies, of course-was this airfield grossly overstacked? Night bombing seems to cause much more damage on overstacked airfields, IME. When I've backed off of that, night bombing effects mitigated further.


It's a level 3 field. Not overstacked. Maybe 40-50 aircraft.



How many engines?

The answer would be interesting to me .. as I thought engines only affected the offensive payload and operational losses not overstacking ... and air groups must not exceed airfield # +1 no matter the number of airplanes in each group or pay the overstacking penalty .. and I might propose that it is a threshold rather than a spectrum .. that is if airfield is overstacked -> decimate airgroups ...draw extra supplies .. etc ...

If so he must have had all the planes lined up in the middle of the airfield to protect them from saboteurs and got them bombed - again!
