<t> I want to start by saying thanks for an interesting discussion.<br/>
<br/>
Now, I would like to add a few thoughts sparked by my rather eclectic reading list.<br/>
<br/>
As far as expecting sabotage, we may be being too hard on Short. There is a book by Hector Bywater “The Great Pacific War ...

In honor of the brave men and a few women caught in the Phillipines by the outbreak of WW II, They Were Expendable.

My annual tradition of either that or In Harm's Way for the weekend or at least the first few weekdays after December 7.

<t> Back in the early 2000s, one of my Great Aunts brought out her scrap book and told me stories about her time in Hawaii in early 1942. She got a war job working as a secretary for a relative who was a manager in the Pearl Harbor shipyard. He was project manager on the project to right the USS ...

Hi,<br/>

I've looked all through the manual but can't seem to find anything describing how the hexes that seem to define US security zones, function.<br/>

What exactly are these hexes for and what do they do/how do they ...

Hi,<br/>
I’m struggling to find in the manual details of the symbols on the counters. Sometimes I see the strength in different colours. There are three small numbers bottom right hand corner at times and sometimes top right has a red dot ...

<t> I’m an Engineer. We believe in simplifying assumptions. Back in the day in my college mass transfer class, they introduced us to the Navier-Stokes equation for mass transfer. It is a complicated partial differential equation. If you have enough time on a super-computer and a complete enough ...

<r> I have been catching up on the forums after a brief absence, and I was surprised to note that no one else picked up on the statement about lack of reaction combat. There was a thread on the main AE forum indicating that ASW reaction was not completely coded. Consensus was that the movement part ...

<r> I have a couple of suggestions. <br/>
<br/>
Quite a few years ago, I was in the Boston area and I went aboard the cruiser Quincy. My father had been there shortly before and mentioned that he’d gotten a tour of the engine room. When I asked about this, the volunteer I spoke to said that they ...

<t> A mathematician, and engineer, and an accountant are each asked "what is 2+2?"<br/>
<br/>
The mathematician says "It is 4.000 out to however many significant figures you have."<br/>

The engineer says "It is a number somewhere between 3 and 5. Since it is usually close to 4, we'll use 4 ...

<t> Off topic warning. This reminded me of a science fiction short story I read called "He Walked Around the Horses" by H. Beam Piper. A British diplomat vanished from an inn during the Napoleonic Wars, when he walked around the coach to check something on the other side. This is a version of what ...

<t> Yep, that is the South Bay. Most parts of the Bay Area are in reference to "The City" (SF). Thus, the North Bay is the Golden Gate north.<br/>
<br/>
The exception is "The Peninsula" is the area from just south of The City to about Mountain View. <br/>
<br/>
Anyway, welcome to California.</t>

What part of the Bay Area?

Although I have not played much AE, and I live closer to Sacramento, I do make some visits to Marin County.

If you are in the North Bay, I might be interested in an occasional get-together.
