Honda makes a mistake !
Honda today, made a rare mistake when he failed to post a CAP over Delhi, as was punished by the RAF and the USAAF. This mistake cost him well over 100 aircraft destroyed on the ground with no losses to allied bombers.
Psychologists, who were consulted, claim that such a mistake is the first sign of someone who is under intense mental pressure, and such mistakes will continue to accelerate until the individual is a blathering wreck.
Allied commanders intend to continue with the pressure in an effort to expose more “mistakes”.

Melbourne and Geelong have fallen without a fight....Honda is refusing to fight for Australia and is in full flight. [8D]

RE: I Return !
Quite a lot is happening at the moment. At least compared to what was (not) happening in the last year or so. We have now 4 distinctive fronts formed. India, Australia, Kuriles and the Marshalls/Gilberts (quiet for now, but the contact has been made between the opposing forces, although just forced recon).

RE: I Return !
Foolish man.......why would you even bother trying to fly CAP out of canberra when I have uber CV TF just off the coast? 
The report of the hit on the Hornet was nothing more than the feverish dream of a jap pilot who was luck to get away with his life. Radar had him for some time but the cloud cover defeated the CAP that was hunting him. Hornet had some paint scrapped off the side of her hull, but not even 1 sys point of damage.
I now havbe troops flooding into Melbourne as I prepare to chase Honda's Heros out of OZ.

You are too modest, I have taken 4 allies opponents, none survived to May to let british change their aircrafts. Defeat those allies exclusive guy is just as simple as crush AI, I suppose. If you don't take Japs, you are simply as incompetence as AI.[;)]
RE: I Return !
Some rather nastie air battles over India last turn, with Hero Honda getting the upper edge with a raid on karachi, this is where the really really bloody battles are taking place, and i am yet to get the upper hand. [:(]
