Fly those birds.....

<t>If the BuAir boys say that you can have them, and if they are already in squadron service, stick those birds on the roof and let'em kick it. The Brits were doing it before some of those bureaucrats in the Navy Office finally got the anchors out of their hip pockets and the sand out of their heads ...

These poor airdales...

<t>Gawd alone knows what language we would be speaking if the guys that really flew in WWII acted like these whimps in this game. These wusses fly once and then ask for a pass to the USO to get cheered up. I know they wouldn't go to the local brothel for some other refreshments cuz I'm not sure they ...

Interrogatory!

Is there a hint of a suspiscion of a possibility that we might begin to start to prepare to get ready to download 1.5 sometime in the near or somewhat near future? Just a little inquiry.

Regarding UV ASW runs.

<t>I have a suspicion that the number we see on the ASW attacks is really more akin to the number of patterns or runs dropped by the can rather than the number of DC's - something like the full loadout of 16 shells in the NC's being 12 per turret. DD's weren't big enough to carry a whole lot of ...

Makes sense, but...

<t>what about these BB raids? I'm sitting on the Canal with a squadron of PBY's on Naval Search, one Squadron of Hudsons on ASW, three F4F squadrons, 2 SBD's Squadrons, and a squadron of P-39D - all of them with good morale factors, none of them too tired - fatigue under 25 - and with virtually all ...

Geez, Mogami..

<t>You been sitting behind me when I play. No wonder my wife gets mad with the yelling in the study. "No, you stupid ^^$*&&%, I meant your other starboard!!!" Now, how can we send Ghormley on a tree counting trip in Adak?<br/>

The only control issue I have is the constant looking out to make ...

Not only that, mates...

<t>But where in all blazes did the Kongos get 60 kt engines. This Tokyo Express nonsense is downright stupid. Ain't no way a Kongo is going to leave Shortland at dusk or after, conduct a bombardment or engage in several rounds of combat at Lunga, and be back at Shortland by Dawn. If that were the ...

Gotta say it.

<t>I've been playing war games since the early 70's beginning with AH's early version of D-Day, and have been playing computer games since I had a computer in the early 80's. I played Pacific War and Action Stations for eight years because there was nothing out there that compared even with new ...
