"OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH" he says. He takes two stickers of Ariel. All the adults laugh. Either he likes gingers or he wants to dress up in a mermaid costume.

Jasmine is pretty hot too. I was glad Disney decided to skip the burkha for her.

If it makes you feel better I made up the bit about the Bully beef. Also, none of this would happen if they kept sending the turns.

Amchitka is too far for B-24's to hit Onnekotan-jima or Paramushiro-jima. We need a field at either Shemya or Kiska. Shemya has zero port but could be built to a level 7 airfield. Word has it the night life is pretty rousy on both isrands. Maybe a breastaurant will be needed. Should make for some good peanut smuggling. No troops of any description there yet.

I found 2 VD squadrons and 12 boxes of penicillin. They can operate from Amchitka and the PB4Y-1P's can provide recon over the Northern Kuriles from there. Of course, the recon can't start until the landing force is spotted.

Another discovery...SBD's can reach Shimushiri-jima from the Aleutians.

Hmmm not very many US submarines patrolling areas of interest .. big BB could show up at wrong time [like at night turn] and mess up landings ... Your movements are going to produce lot's of heavy radio traffic messages .. . just a thought

Hmm - invest Skikuka but don't attack until you have landed small forces at hexes W and SE. That way when JJ retreats he will activate Soviet Union.

More subs on the way. USS Indiana will be on station. One pre-war BB for bombardment duty.

The notion is to make a bunch of noise near Okinawa, thereby attracting Kirishima and Kongo and Soryu.

Not sure how to solve the radio noise issue.

Clearly not resolvable .. but lots of activity in lots of critical areas forces the IJ to reconsider their options. Sort of the problem Hitler had between Calais and Normandy .. so much chatter and confusion they did not react to the obvious ...

It will be very interesting to see if the IJ continue once you have secured landing sites ..

The only way to do that with no non-dot hex landing is to land at Toyahara and march North.

We can make an Okinawa landing appear VERY likely.
