Two ineffectual WJD air raids on shipping at Iba and Vigan. Just Idas. We deal with them.

A bunch of raids over Aparri do not go off, probably the weather.

Is Chokai sauce more like pesto or is it one of those heavy cream things? I'm trying to eat better. Of course, 2 nights ago I did drip the fat drippings from the rib eyes back on top of the steaks. Hory crap! That-ah rearry get Neanderthal genes working.

Had some of this too. Fantastic

I have to agree with you on this one .. some very excellent tasting Pinot Noirs are coming from the Willamette Valley .. certainly in my opinion a much better value than the Napa Valley ... maybe not quite as good although wine tasting is a personal preference and the spectrum dry oak taste with various fruit/vanilla/chocolate finishes being even more of a religion of what makes a great Pinot Noir ... I might suggest some of the Pinot Noirs coming from Paso Robles being of excellent value The region does not have the haute sophistication of Napa valley but the grapes are thriving ..as long as you are not trying to imagine the home from which it came .. the wines are quite good in my opinion ...

And one time Yamato got sunk by a PT boat too. Send an email to Paul. I think he has to invite you. I am going to put Aaron Hernandez as my top pick. I'm going for full Hispanic team too. Mark Sanchez as QB

Yadda Yadda, IIRC we played 3 matches or was it 2 and WHOM won all of those?
Ofc it was the only matches i won and still some how we both made it to the final.
Its more like a PT boat sinking the Yamato with its 12.7mm as its out of torps.

Rasmus, hey Aaron did fine last year for me except he was injured for like 8 or so games out 12.

Several bases in Luzon seem to have more naval support points than exist among the units at the base? Are these outside contractors, M&M Enterprises, perhaps? Some kind of odd naval support CAP from adjoining bases? Something intrinsic to Luzon bases? Perhaps a nod by the AI to the extraordinary good looks of the Arried High Command?

Does anyone else find sub patrol plotting tedious? I sent some US subs to the Bay of Bengal so I don't have to worry about them

How cool would Engrish ranguage text commands be? "Subron 3 to patrol the East China Sea West of Tokara Retto."



What is more annoying is setting a patrol area for a sub not currently in that area. First point is great.. then when you have to select the second and third patrol point, it brings the screen all the way back to the area the sub is currently located, not right next the the previous patrol point you selected. Very annorring...

Well, no, but they can provide support over the phone. You know like you get phone support for a PC or possibly a mental health support network. Maybe the lack of support is why your poor widdle sea-bee-wee-bees have a 45 morale-they're not getting the 'support' they need from afar. Boo hoo... Crybaby Allied dogs!

nav support and AV from HQ's has a radius. This reflects that the big boss is watching so everyone works harder. It says so in the manual, trust me. Plus they print out leaflets that say "lift with your knees". (Also why moral is low).
