OK..I sort of understand ship withdrawals and kinda sort of understand plane withdrawals....but how do I do LCU withdrawals (pretend I didn't read the rules)? I have some USN support units due back somewhere in 40 days. There is no withdraw button. Do they go to Pearl or the US...Panama?

You don't have to do anything. They pack their own bags and even clean up after themselves. Except for the French, they leave behind empty wine bottles to show the Americans taking over their positions that even in the middle of the war they know how to enjoy themselves.

Hey, why not after all ? If we can manage to enjoy something !! [:-] ([;)] no offense).

May 21st 1942. Noumea fell. Arse.

Simon....errr, sorry.
Lord Admiral Sprior, could you, please, ask very politely to Admiral Cap Mandrake to save wathever can be save at La Foa ?
I mean, you know, the whine bottles, the beer can, the cheese, the bread and all that stuff.
Also if you evacuate, accordingt to the last joke on The Thread !!! ([:@] ), the French should go to "Cooperation with the ennemy" mode....and that is not politicaly correct [:-].
If ever none of you could assist in the survival of French Territory, and according you don't care about De Gaulle advice, well, so be it.
Your sincerely, etc etc....

Went to HS there. I could serve as a beachmaster, but to be honest, theres not much there to be had. [:D]

[Onime No Kyo]

The French dude has a point. They do have the best wine on the map at La Foa. I've tried that Australian stuff....

[Cap Mandrake]

Enough already with the talk of surrender at La Foa...(you can say the real names now because the code books were likely captured at New Edinburgh...I mean Noumea).


The Japs laid on a big attack at La Foa today but were sent packing with 5,000 casualties...perhaps 1,500 KIA. Of course, the supplies will be near bingo.

I should be able to get out more of the carrier capable planes.



My estimate for the number of Jap IJA/IJN ground KIA's for the New Scotland operation at 8-10K but it could be much more. Their ground units at Noumea and La Foa will have lost much of their vehicles including many, many tanks. This makes me feel better but the inevitable loss of the boys at La Foa will hurt.


I have the staff working on diversion/counterattack options. They may have shortchanged their defences somewhere. [;)]

Look on the bright side, Cap. Think of the awesome movies they'll be making about this 60 years later.

I know an ENT surgeon who watched his own colonoscopy on the monitor without anesthesisa. [:D][:D] Wisely, he chose not to try to do it himself.

Reminds me of an old internship joke:

Question: What do you have when a Gastroenterologist looks into a sigmoidoscope?

Answer: "Poop" looking at "poop." The GI surgeons used to think that was hilarious, although "poop" wasn't exactly the term they used...[;)]

BTW, I bet that ENT surgeon got a little excited when his nasopharynx came into view towards the end of the procedure---Me, I'd take the concious sedation.

Good lord, I am so out of depth with this conversation, and I think that's the way I'd like it to stay (yes?)

I guess war is a bit like the endoscope, sometime you just have to bend over and take it.

Speaking of BOHICA, what's up with your next turn?

[sprior]

Just another normal "Allies advancing victoriously on all fronts"/"IJN kicks wimpy westerners"* turn

*Delete that which does not apply.

[Chickenboy]

So, something like this then? [&:]

"Allies kicks wimpy westerners"* turn

I swear, some of you sociopaths probably laughed when Bambi's mother got shot.

[Cap Mandrake]

I propose some other turn outcome options:

1) A brilliant plan executed flawlessly, making Inchon look like Operation Tiger.

2) Another day of attrition warfare as the Imperail war machine is slowly ground to dust.

3) There was a bright flash in the western sky followed by a huge cloud that reached the heavens.

or

4) I can't believe these crappy die rolls.

5) Man, that was seriously gamey.

6) This game is so Borked.

I cried. For the hunters. Their aim was so poor, that I cried with relief when their final shot was true. 'bout time, "jitters".

Personally, I hope you choose option #1 to describe the outcome of your future endeavors.
