***************Tokyo Bay, Later that day***********
<a small boat approaches the M&M Enterprises PBY. A man in a fine woolen suit climbs aboard the PBY>
Man in a fine woolen suit: Well, it's a done deal.
Hirsute young man: Just like that? I'll be damned. What about the whole scarcity business and cash flow? Seems like the end of war will be bad for
business.
Man in a fine woolen suit: THIS war! I didn't say all wars. Do we have enough gas to get to Vladivostok?
Hirsute young man: Vladivostok? Why would we want to go to that shit hole?
Man in a fine woolen suit: I have to see a man about the partition of Korea............
As the end of the war draws near, you need to start thinking about the epilogues for the various characters. Everyone wants to know how they turn out. For example:
Will Milo's family enter the candy business? And will they discover a suitable brand niche?
Does Idi Amin Dada go on to become a successful businessman and world-renowned philanthropist?
Is Pocahantas Girl elected President of the HOA...And all rejoice?
Finally....Can Electra ever recover from her...ummmm...Post #96 incident?

Do you mean Sgt. Minderbinder or Adm. Draemel?
Does Idi Amin Dada go on to become a successful businessman and world-renowned philanthropist?
World renowned Yes.

I think Lord Admiral Nerson was kidnapped by the Nex Perce and was out of smoke signal range.
Allies had big bases on both Kyushu and Hokkaido. Japan was down to one dinged up carrier and a CVL and one dinged up BB. No Kamikazes. Fighter strength decimated. Communication to China and Korea mostly cut off.
It was pretty dire. Also we had to redo a turn to see if we could get our pilots back and it just never came back. [:)]
Good grief, Cap, I go away for about 18 months to cope with a big Health Care Conglomerate "merger"
who decides we need to join them (It's quite amazing how persuasive someone putting a gun to your
corporation's head can be!), and I find out that after adapting to 2 brand new stupid EHRs and ICD-10,
you flattened the WJDs.
Congrats on a great read and for showing us minor leaguers an amazingly successful and gutsy WITP AE strategy!
Lather, rinse, and repeat!
