I work for Arizona State, I do all their game films, I get paid to watch college football...its a tough life . Actually I work like a dog 8 months a year...16 hour days stuff like that. Its fun, but it can be pretty tiring too.

<r>Sorry about the long delay without explanation. As many know I work for a college football team. For some unexplainable reason, we started winning <E>:)</E>. Needless to say this unbelievable occurance caused my workload to increase, because the more coaches win, the more they want to. <E>:)</E ...

<r>After 5 hard weeks of football Im back. <E>:)</E> Too much work too few hours in the day. Now that the college football season is behind me I will once again be available for my pbems games and update my AAR. Sorry about the delay guys, to my opponents a big thank you for the patience, we started ...

nice game loved the reports.

<t>Admiral Nimitz and the USS Essex arrived late this evening. His staff immediately met with mine and praised the overall conduct of our campaign here in the South Pacific. <br/>

CINCPAC joined us about an hour later, (after distributing boxes of medals to sailors and marines just returning ...

<t>Two days of bitter fighting in and around Gasmata has left my Marines pressing ever closer to the Japanese airfield. The Japanese are well fortified at the base here and fighting bravely, but my heavy bombers have exacted a heavy toll on their fortifications and more often then not my Marines are ...

<t>Marines from the 6th and 7th Regiments landed at Gasmata this morning. They waded ashore unopposed, though I am sure the Japanese intend to contest this landing. 3 strikes of Bettys hit hit the invasion force to prove that point. USS Idaho took a torpedo in the initial strike, but the Army ...

I have as the Japanese in a PBEM, I control Luginville too ...but my opponent is about to open a can of whoop *** on me.

<t>Edson's Marine Raiders have taken Umboi on schedule. The island was unoccupied. I have already embarked Navy Seabees for the island where they will convert it into a small fighter strip. <br/>

The 6th and 7th Marine regiments were due to land at Gasmata tomorrow. I will delay that landing ...

Re: CINCPAC visit to South Pacific

CINCPAC is proceeding to your headquarters via USS Essex and her escorts. Expected to arrive in 12 days.

<t>Five days have past since an entry here. Honestly, until last night there wasn't much new to report as the entire area has become rather routine. My bombers fly off in the morning, pound various targets in the area and return home. I control the skies in and around both Guadalcanal and New Guinea ...

<t>A strange report today from my heavy and medium pilots at Port Moresby. In today's raid at Finschhafen they reported seeing a Japanese aircraft carrier (debriefings say it was the Akagi) anchored offshore sans any aircraft on her flight decks. Unfortunetly, the bombers had already dumped their ...

<t>Early this morning there were more night raiders from Kavieng at Lae. They arent doing a lot of damage, unless you count the lack of sleep and shattered nerves of the crews at the airfields there. I do wish I could put up fighters to catch them, but it is too hit and miss to risk my pilots. <br ...

drool.

<t>Five days of fierce air battles have occured over both Lunga and Lae. My fighters and bombers have apparently shut the airfield down at Guadalcanal. Today for the first time since I can remember, no Japanese fighters rose to greet my strikes. I do not intend to stop bombing Lunga until I see a ...

<t>After three days of debate, recrimination and reflection my staff and I have decided the best way to deal with the huge Japanese build-up of troops at Finchhafen is to bypass them. Detailed reconnaisance of both Finchhafen and Salamua (something which should of been done prior to the ill-fated ...

<t>Sorry for the lack of posting this week...the football season is upon me (I work for a college team) and my time has gotten shorter. I have actually played ahead about two weeks, but just havent had time to write it up. I will try to get something up tonite. I lost 80 percent of the 5th Marine ...

Thanks for the update......I will have to continue to be content with UV....for now....

<t>The disaster at Finchhafen has echoed through the halls of Congress in Washington. Various senators are demanding an investigation how an entire regiment of marines could of been lost in a so-called "moping up" operation. CinCPac has sent a letter of inquiry to me regarding the action. Admiral ...
