<t> I have made it to the end of April '43. It does seem like the tap has opened up a bit in terms of reinforcements. The Corsairs and Hellcats are are rolling in and I see from my intelligence screen I have a group of Thunderbolts arriving in a couple weeks. I've been getting sub chasers for the ...

Tell the truth so have I, but I have been finding a lot of cool stuff. The found an archive on the Air Force site too today. Some of the information I am finding I just had no access to before the internet.:-)

RE: New Books

<t> I'm now reading the final volume 3 of Ian W. Toll's Pacific War Trilogy: Twilight Of The Gods. The whole series of books has been interesting in that the author does a lot of myth busting. I also this year found a used set of Samuel Eliot Morrison's 14 volume History Of United States Naval ...

Genealogy of War In the Pacific

I never played Gary Grigsby's DOS version of WIP. I started with Uncommmon Valor and it's WIP follow up. I did play another game eerily like WIP on Sega Genesis in the mid 90's called PTO: Pacific Theater Of Operations. Did that game have connection to WIP?

RE: THE THREAD!!!

It's past midnight and I am still playing WITP AE, then I remember something. On Aug 7, 1973, forty-eight years ago I got yelled off a green bus at MCRD San Diego and ran to stand on the yellow footprints just before getting a nice haircut. What has that to do with AE? Absolutely nothing.
