cool stuff.

Russian guy firing a 40 mm. Watch when he fires on auto. The 2nd through the last shot do NOT land on the other side of the lake. I don't know WHERE they landed. Probably Omsk.

I'll be damned. That actually makes sense. I thought it more likely it was same Gaelic left-over.

By ra way, I started Hermes back to Colombo with a DD and some TBF's aboard for ASW duty. Pennslyvania will not go to "ready" status. I think it's all the system damage...or maybe union work rules.

Quite amazing that is virtually all declassified. The only thing I saw blacked out was the distance from the target after the attack when he was clearing datum (presumably because you could deduce her top quiet speed).


It seems completely one sided. Sprinting right under the Argie group at 21 kts to get ahead. Following at 4-14K yds for a whole day. Innumerable periscope looks.

The "fun" starts at about page 135.

ALSP posts a picture of a sign saying "Priddy's Hard" and next post is a picture of a giant phallic symbol

And then says it belonged to Jane

Why the clarification? - have you managed in game to skip bomb attack one of your own taskforces?

Hmm....one time Yossarian skip-bombed the offices of a Homeowners Association somewhere in the Lesser Sundas. I think it was Aru Island. That would be the closest to a "friendly fire" skip-bombing attack. I am pretty sure that was WWII(b). Can't find that but one time his squadron did try to skip bomb a WJD cruiser force.

According to Sigmund, everything is about sex.

And speaking of Jane Goodall and Apes. ( or should that be apes, I can never remember)

SG: I hired an interior decorator for the dining room

FAM: Interior decorator? <rising voice showing alarm>

SG: Yes, she's a friend.

FAM: Where did you meet her?

SG: <no answer>

FAM: Oh, Tapas, right? <it's one of those places you go to get beer and food>

SG: Yes, but she's nice. She said she wouldn't charge us.

FAM: <electrical shock runs through body>



Later on the surprisingly attractive "interior decorator" shows up in a high maintenance get-up with knee-high leather boots and a $90,000 Mercedes coupe. That alone makes me nervous.

My practice makes it much easier to compensate for these events .. I just pull a couple of more shifts ... I assume this requires a few more office visits ..
