Level 2 is my working idea because it seems a C-47 will neither drop paras or supply from a level 1

From your starting level 2, also apply the load formula, substituting payload for bomb load/6500. I have some converted Liberator transports that carry more than C-47s, so the calculation for them would be level 4 + the payload/6500.


I am trying some Liberator trannies from a level 6 field today. We see what happens. What is the payload number for a C-47?

If you had enough Emily's you could take Bakersfield from Paramashiro Jima. Imagine the shock when the 1st Raiding Regiment entered the Walmart and noticed nobody had shoes on.





But the Japanese could start taking the Aleutians early when the Frozen Paratroopers descend.

C-47 is the same payload as the Transport Libs - 6000. The Liberator just has 4 engines and extra range so that is why I assume a level 4 AF for starters.
The C-46A Commando carries 10,000 pounds, and flies about four more hexes than the C-47.

Hmm. It begs the question has anyone ever taken a defended base with purely PBY-jumping paras?

It's purely about the troops dropped. If you have enough PBY's to drop enough an adequate number of troops adequately, equipped, prepared, etc...

Get some free time by not rearranging the bedding on the bed until you change it. It will help it dry out and kill the dust mites living there.

Explain this concept of changing the bed linens.


When (not if) you remove the sheets and pillow cases from the bed to wash them, then you put another set on. Although it would be actually better if you left it bare to air out. In fact, it would be good once a year to set the mattress and even the box spring outside during the day so the sun can clean it with the UV rays plus airing it out. Putting it outside can end up killing any mold/mildew on it - even if you do not notice it.

The little dust mites living on the bed feed off dead skin cells and use the human sweat as a source of water. Those dust mites can aggravate asthma.

I hope that helps.

Plus, if it takes 5 minutes a day to rearrange the bedding (Mom: "Make your bed!) so that the bedding looks nice, if you do not do that you could save 5 minutes a day. In 6 days that is half an hour. Over a year, that is over one full day.

Putting the mattress outside when it is -30º or colder will also do in the dust mites within half an hour ...

Does it get that cold in San Diego?

Winnipeg, yes it does even without any windchill. Keep a cooler or two in your trunk as a free extra freezer . . .

I was doing field service years ago up in Burlington Vt. I brought my tool box into the hotel everyday. One of my co workers left his in the trunk. He gets to work, opens the trunk, lifts the handle of his tool box and the whole thing shatters.

I read about the time in Minnesota where they were pounding nails into boards with bananas. These were real bananas like you buy at a grocery store. They just left them outside for twenty minutes. Some people even camped out overnight. It only got down to -60 F which is less than -51 C. When it is that cold and you have been breathing in that cold air with your mouth, don't drink anything hot since your teeth might break off.

Unofficially, it got down to -72 F or -57 C less than 100 yards or 90 metres away from where the cold air was coming from.

This is why no one sleeps in the cab on the way back from anywhere in New England in winter. Sorry for the highjack hijinks, Cap.

Don't know how he could do that unless it was a very old diesel truck. The fuel filler pipe for a diesel is too narrow for a gas pump nozzle to fit. If he ignored that during refueling and held the nozzle the whole time, double doo-doo on him!

Don't sleep in your cab... and another winter tip:





DF2 is summer diesel, it is also home heating oil. If you need to thin it, use kerosene. The DF2 has waxes in it that gel. DF1 has no waxes, it is winter fuel, and it should not gel. In the more southern US, they have a "winter blend" which is a mix of 1 and 2. If you have that and head north, it will gel. The only solution is to put it into a heated garage. That also applies to the reefers on the trucks and semi-tractor trailers. Also for those units, make sure that the cover is closed to keep the heat near the engine and fuel filters.

My neighbor bought a similar truck so he could use parts from the old truck... the dead truck didn't look that old, but he said it "only had about 400,000 miles on it". Maybe the guy filled it from a gas can? Inquiring mines want to know.

Looking at various diesel forums, it seems like maybe quite a few diesel pickups may have smaller fuel inlets - there are a lot of discussions about putting in bigger inlets so that they can take advantage of using high-flow big-rig pumps at the "gas" station.

EDIT: Supposedly (according to forums), trucks '03 on up have bigger inlets... so if truck was 2003 or later, the "friend" could put in a smaller gas nozzle and messed things up.

Anyway, I realize I left my credit card at the office and I have 3 dorrah in warret. I call SG and ask her to pay for it ahead of time but the pharmacist say "Don't-ah worry onry 2 dorrah".

So I drive in but the total is $3.41. I check for change..a dimme..so I have 3:10. I offer to pay by check but she rolls her eyes. I can just imagine the conversation going on in her head. A total b****.



So she says "Look, just give us the difference at the next visit."

The two Jap divisions NE of Padang hopped on trucks and got down to Padang before all of our guys got out so we laid on a major effort to evacuate the by seaplane
