Good morning, Bruce. 

I'll echo Mynok's questions from last night.  How is the job hunt going, and how is Geoff doing?  [:)]

But on what? Ground troops, port, airfield?

Ground attack or Port Attack. For the former of course the raid has to single out the CD LCU in order to have a chane. The latter is more "indirect" and yes.....it has been made much tougher. This was done in stock a long time ago after it was shown how easy CD (and AA) guns could be taken out by sustained air attack.

A good move, IMO. It should be hard to get around/past CD guns.

I got a phishing email today, demanding my email account data (and my birthdate, coincidentally) under threat of losing my ISP email account.

Do these people really think I can't see that the sender uses an address that has nothing to do with my ISP, or that the text of the mail was written in a foreign language (Italian, in this case) and then run through Google Translate?

Scum...
[:-] It's attitudes like this that will get your ISP email account closed. Can't you see that these nice people are trying to help you? The least you can do is give them your bank account, birthday, address and phone number.

I would say (in order of preference):

1. Port attack with 4E heavies.
2. Port attack with 2E mediums.
3. Ditto Bruce's comments re: BB bombardment.

Also, recon the beejesus out of it before and during bombardment / port attack. Makes a big difference.

Can you cut off LOC and supply to minimize the liklihood that damaged guns will be repaired / replaced?

I have decided that too many people take themselves WAY too seriously on these forums.  That's why I feel so at home in THE THREAD!!!  [8D]

After my trip to the Turks last November, I developed a theory for all of the cranky, rude, and ignorant people I came across when I returned.  They need more rum punch! 

I just had to post a reminder in the low level naval attacks thread of what this wonderful "game" is supposed to be about.  I was serving up some digital rum punch.  [:D]

That's almost Terminus' toe level offensive.

Side note: Never found cross-dressing inherently funny, which is odd because I enjoy so much british comedy.
