I really must say, I wish I had someone to look over my mistakes. I can see where and why things went wrong, but I worry I overlooked something. Oh...my prescious AP's.....[:(]

19th Feb. 1942
0105 Fleet Time.

Lieutenant Commander Koga Here you go Admiral, this is latest disposition of ABDACOM ground and air forces. Naval updates will be ready before your planning session at 0530. And here are the priority intelligence files from the Americans. I must tell you I find it disturbing how easy our assets obtained this information.

Admiral Yamamoto Yes commander, I too find it troublesome. If he can hear about what I say, and I can hear about what he says....

Lieutenant Commander Koga Sir, I'm disgraced by this. Its sickening that one or more of our comrades here might be disgracing their honor and familes in such a vile manor. I will find and seal all the leaks Admiral.

Admiral Yamamoto I trust you will commander. Please keep me posted on any hint of new information on these new aircraft the Americans might be deploying.

Lieutenant Commander Koga Yes sir, I formed a special detachment to look into the matter.

Admiral Yamamoto I knew these 'P-40s' and these 'Buffalos' would be no real match for our aircraft. I just hope our industries R&D people are not sitting on their asses like the German industry did, hmm...what fools. The Americans will deploy more capable aircraft soon. We must be in position with enough reserves to meet that threat...ahggg...sorry to start rambling commander...I need to get some rest.

Hondo smiles and gets up
Lieutenant Commander Koga Yes, you need all the rest you can get. I'll keep you posted as ordered sir.

Admiral Yamamoto Oh...Toshihiro, good job today, and tell that to your department.
Admiral Yamamoto Oh...Toshihiro, I want your people to get the newest wireless intelliegence to me by at 0500 hours.

Lieutenant Commander Koga Yes sir.

Trez is making big attacks against DEI, since fleet was sunk he's having a easy time, heck, my bombers and torp planes even go after his carriers. I guess his admiral set up a good screen for them [:@]

at least the allied press comes close to the truth even when the news are bitter. other then the japanese who claimed midway as a great victory or sunk half of halsey fleet at formosa in 1944..in their little fantasy worls.[:D]

Trez has been busy with work, so the game has slowed down.
Looking over the last few pages I feel there is no real continuity, just a lot of sporadic postings. I'll try to be more regular on the papers, that might help. I think I will have more maps with enemy intentions...see if my intel guesses are right, maybe it might help throw him off his game if he see's i'm watching him

Is there anything else people would like to see?
