There is indeed a gret deal of intellegnce here .. for one I highly suspect that the Allies are forming an alliance with the Martians .. . forget Navajo .. "ACK ..ACK ACK .. ACK ACK ACK ..." Soon ray guns at Lunga ...

Of course, the IJ will counter with Japaneese Opera ...

Yes, all those minor keys will make my head explode! [X(]

Crackaces, you misunderstand, I'm trying to imply that vontiger looks like the chief Martian from Mars Attacks! [:D]

12/30/41 One of my Dutch subs put a fish into Chokai near Malacca. I have some troops trapped there and I have been attempting to supply them. He's done a perfect job so far in stopping me, so I'm glad he had to pay a price. [:)] I still am getting reports of 3 CVs milling around south of Wake. I think I know what they're doing there. The last time we played we had a back and forth battle of invasion and counterinvasion there and towards the end my carriers got involved. He may be hoping for a confrontation that he can win. By the way, he did finally capture Rabaul on the 28th. I hope to punish him for that soon. Rangoon fell on the 29th, but it was unoccupied. I have the belief that a defense of Burma is untenable, so I hightailed it out of there as soon as I could. This of course has a substantial drawback for the Chinese.

1/1/42  I have a report that CA Chokai was sunk by that one torpedo.  [X(]  I don't think I'm believing it.

[geofflambert]

1/3/42 Two days ago two of my MLs scared off a TF consisting of PB SC SC from Malacca where they were trying to prevent resupply. Yesterday one of my HDMLs accomplished the same feat against the same TF (I believe). Nonetheless between surface units and Bettys he's managed to stop any supplies getting in. One of the Dutch subs there put a torpedo in Chokai though, and that has to hurt.

1/4/42 Yesterday Hong Kong fell. Following are screenshots of areas I can show you without giving very much away.
