Sec Hull: Yes?

3rd Undersecretary for Latin America, E Jameson, Duty Officer: Sir, its Jameson at State. I am sorry to bother you on a Sunday morning, but I have a very odd situation here.

Sec Hull: Ah..perhaps the noises in my office? I shouldn't worry about that, its my parakeet, Noodles, she always does that if I am late coming in.

Jameson: No sir. Its not that. The Swiss Ambassador is here with two aides. He asks if he could please meet with you immediately on an urgent matter of historic import.

Sec Hull: .....I'll be right down.

Time will tell. Perhaps this is just high level negotiations through a 3rd party regarding sea urchin roe!

Status: offline 		Well it is very possible that Milo will negotiate something for himself out of this but the historical implications of a Pacific War ending this early are immense
Think about it the majority of the USN as well as many of the troops that would have been commited to the campaign would now be available for deployment to the ETO. D-Day could be brought forward to 1943(I can just see the USMC leading the charge at Omaha)and the whole thing could be over in the West by early '44.We grab Berlin long before the Russians and move East(because FDRs Yalta rollover for Uncle Joe doesn't happen).Cold War boundaries are drawn between East and West Poland and we have the bomb as well as all those Nazi Rocket scientists(Guess that means we win)
Britain/Australia and our gallant Dutch allies having borne the brunt of the fighting till now can claim to have won the war in the Pacific by sheer bloody mindedness so no giving up the Empire in '48

Please review this draft document. Per your request, we asked Mr. Ford, if he wanted any protections in the document. He laughed so hard he nearly wet himslef, declining our offer.

Fabulous!!!

Loose ends, anyone?

What was the mysterious white powder dumped onto the IJN carrier that i'm guessing Yosarrian bombed?

EDIT: Was it one of those biodegradable warheads?

Do you think someone will pick up the Japanese side - i think all their carriers are gone or "in the shop". Meanwhile, they still haven't gotten the DEI, and it is Mid August 1942.

i'd LOVE to see it continue, but is there someone crazy enough available?

Wait a sec, what's Nik doing?

On the other hand, it should have definitely banned all advertising campaigns staring Joe Izusu, and it should have demanded that Nissan (Datsun) leave the original early-70s 240-Z platform untouched.

I'm going to miss this AAR...

Here is an idea. Perhaps someone would want to "stage a coup" and take over Empire of Japan with the limited, stated goal of prevented Allied Auto victory by the end of 1942. The game would end New Years Eve 1942 or if autovictory were achieved. That, at least, would be challenging, perhaps even unachievable, for the Allies...plus it would be the mother of all disappointments for Yossarian

I am pretty sure the Shokaku is still afloat, although I cant remember what happened to her. Anything from the IJN in this battle is either sunk (Akagi confirmed) or a hulk (except one or 2 CVE's)
