A dork gets another game...(Marky(USN)Werner/Swift(IJN)

[marky]

So not bad results, but not great

lost alot of PTs but they helped prevent severe damage on Munda

Mundas AF is nearly lvl 2 already, its about 60%

it will become a major AF, as will hopefully Russells, but im going to concentrate on Munda for the next moves up the Slot

Kiriwina is coming along good, and im moving more base forces in

im moving Aussie troops and more base forces up from Brisbane for the offensive against Buna, and i intend eventually to have a major airfield at Dobadura as well most likely

more troops are also coming up from Noumea, and im taking base forces from Efate as well

an Arty Regt has finished its march to Tass, and should make any landing attempt by Swift painful

though i would expect his main counter offensive, should he launch 1, would be aimed at Munda

theres very heavy recon north of the slot now thanks to 157 bombers based at Lunga, and the 3 PBY squadrons at Munda

[wernerpruckner]

Maybe now you understand why many people use houserules like:
limiting the amount of PT TFs at a base
limiting the alt of 4 engine bombers
etc....

A SPYYY!! A SPYY!!! A SPY IS AMONGST US!!!!

*Bluejackets swarm aroiund Swift, pummelling him and tackling him to the ground*

So we have a SPY amongst us dont we boys!!!

*In unison the Bluejackets say "AYE SIR!"*

And ya know what we do with SPIES dontcha boys!!!

"AYE SIR!!!"

We force em to watch CHICK FLICKS!!!

*Gasps are heard, and some of the bluejackets begin to weep, but they say "AYE AYE SIR!!!"

hey now swifty recon said that ur building a base on a non base hex [;)]

and ur takin advantage of the nuke naval gunfire [:D]
