Not you, I think, but I could perhaps get billed for copyright damages...

But are the PT Boats equipped with water skis?

Do the PT Boats have fishing gear on board or do they just use hand grenades?

If you mean equipment to supply the cook there was a better tool.

Quiz: What better (more effective) tool could the PTs use for fishing? First to answer correctly shall get a FREE copy of my book on Operation Sea Lion. I am the judge.

A man told me that one hand grenade gave enough fish to feed the company for one week. Of course, dynamite also works well.

Depth charges would damage the fish too much.

One could also make crab traps and put dead Japanese in there for bait . . .

To whom it may concern (sounds impressive...eehh..?.): Christmas time is approaching and General MacArthur has decreed a halt on all offensive actions in the Southwest Pacific Theatre and the Dutch East Indies on December 24th and 25th.

General info: The game has now reached December 24th 1942 and, as you may have noticed from my previous remarks, the "Evening Star" is issued regularly approximately 3 - 4 weeks after actual game time. The pages are written after each game day to be as correct as possible and to avoid retrospective impressions on actual happenings. But also, most importantly, not to give away too much of the game to the "enemy". With that, information security can be somewhat relaxed and the entertainment value perhaps increased (if there, at all, is one).

As an example, the next issue (November 25th) does contain some information which could influence on the "enemy's" actions as he, of course, has his own sources - meaning that we have no aggreement that he shall not read the "Evening Star".

Regds

Fred

Bad news, indeed, but some exciting possibilities, too. More to come, hang in there! The game is presently entering the second week of January 1943.
