I wonder if the turn will be the same. I'll let you know in a moment. Well, first ASW attack and it's different, in my favor. [:D] Near miss on a US sub.
Maybe the Hosho will be refloated.[;)]
I propose the option to be able to cut the Hosho into quarters and make 4 PCs out of her.

Mike, what are you doing at work on a Sunday manning a phone. Isn't that what lieutenants are for.

Lts cant be trusted to pick up a phone. They might hurt themselves and cost the taxpayer even more money.

Grrr....
I'm here all alone all day at work waiting for the phone to ring, so I decided to run a PBEM turn or two. I ran my turn, saw the Hosho sink (first Japanese carrier sunk vs. a few US CVs and it's Jul 42). Overall, not too bad. I start to do my stuff to send to my opponent and I finally realize that my laptop is still using version 1.60. [X(][:@][:D]
Ah well, I'm running it again after wasting over an hour (laptop is sllloooowwww).

Most of the Ohio Guard has invaded Michigan for the next two weeks. [:D] I got lucky and am not going this year. (Yippee!!!) There are only a few of us to man the phones (about 20% strength for the next two weeks) so I get to work crazy hours. I love weekends because no one is around and I can sneak my laptop in. [:D]
I've tried the lieutenant thing. I usually get phone calls at 3-4 am.[>:][X(]

In my game vs the AI I have 5 full squadrons of Nells at 90 xp or better. They got that way bombing Dacca and nothing else. Then I put them on naval attack to catch an AI TF sneaking into Akyab. Can you say close to 40% hit ratio...with torps? [X(]

Oh, and in other news, the population of Michigan has mysteriously quadrupled overnight. Congress blames illegal immigration.

Not yet. I suspect that'll change at some point but remember, that mission is going to last 2 years. We'll get our chance.

Hi, Ah crap I didn't want to miss AT. (curses [X(]) A good place to get to know my new unit.
I'm not retreating, I'm attacking in a different direction!

They've actually gotten much better. I don't mind them too much any more. I still lose weight when I have to eat them for an extended period though.

Put it this way, thats when I developed a taste for Tabasco sauce, which I have since lost, thankfully. [:D]

If that's what it takes to keep an MRE down, you bet your butt I'm willing...
