Quite a productive morning. Planted a 5 gallon camellia and a bunch of succulent cuttings and hauled the pots and soil around. Vietnamese glazed pots. They just let the glaze run down randomly on the pot but they are surprisingly beautiful. It was a bad idea to fight a war with people that make such beautiful pots. It's 12:03. Starting on vodka tonic to increase prodcutivity.

What do you call the lead potter..."pothead" of course.
What do you a potter with a full beard..."Hairy Potter"
What do you call a potter when first seeing Black Angus cattle..."A potter calling the cattle black"
A potter drinking vodka out of his own work..."Pot shot"
A chicken cooked between two pots...."Chicken pot ply"

Vodka kicks in quickly

What do call a broken pot? A Pot Bust


And it make the jokes seem funnier...well, just funny. Good one.

Sweep it and then use paratroopers.

BTW, there is a way to make sure that your sweepers go first . . .

OK. I'm listening. Kavieng has 4600 troops, 10 AFV's and 26 "guns". I think you would need a full battalion of paras.

I do have 600 men of 2ndBr Para at Terapo waiting around for opportunities. They could reach. 28 AV. Perhaps 24th IR (US) and 3rd Marine Tank could be diverted from the Buin landing. They would not be prepped of course.

Status: offline 		Nope, Kavieng is 12 hexes from Terapo. The C-47's refuse to drop paras at that range. Has to be 10 hexes.

We would have to stage from Wau or Lae. We do have the entire 503rd PIR at Merauke but that would take at least 100 C-47's. Even 600 men would be 50 C-47's, right? Nowhere near enough transports in SouPac.

Gasmata is more realistic.

Big mistake was letting him restock the vodka, vermouth and olives. Maybe SG will save him from addiction by draining the supply?
