Since i don't write an AAR I might say it in here instead - GO ME! [;)]

Believe it or not but the bright point in my campaign is currently the Chinese theatre.

I just completely destroyed one IJA Div, another is about to be surrounded and destroyed.

Add to that the forced retreats of six other IJA divisions and the Chinese have gone from critical to confident.

If the Chinese weren't so damn brittle in spring 42 I would go on the offensive. Doing that right now would be a good chance of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory though.

Who is this against? AI or is someone really getting ready to commit sepuku?

Herring is fine.

Being who you are, I don't know if this is some kind of joke that went over my head? [:'(]

Not really. Herring is one of the things I absolutely refuse to eat. The "strong dislike" (shall we say) was caused by spending my childhood watching my dad literally eviscerate the smelly things at the dinner table. So naturally, when you mentioned being violently sick, I thought of herring. [:D]

Ah, ok. Much the same as squid for me then. Just the smell of it makes me want to puke.

Bingo! [:D]

Colleague of mine at the college.

He's writing an AAR under the name "PT Boat Skipper" over in the AAR section. Will be nice to read about the last weeks events in the game a couple of years from now [8D]

He overextended a little and I had the fortune of having the means and luck to punish him.

Hi, and thank you Per and Leo.

This was my solo check ride. 25nm to point B, with a full stop landing and return. Knew I could do it and had a full day rental on the plane (a Zodiac) and thought I would just do the Cert course and come back and get Beaudy and go flying. Had Beaudy in his Beast Rider harness, and the Navy guys were impressed, so Beaudy went up for my solo.

He has this Beast Rider harness for when he rides with me on the Harley, and the plane's seat straps thread through his chest loop like it was made for it. So he got to go up on my check ride. God love the Navy.

But there was a bunch of guys from the X-plane group out there and they took pictues of Beaudy in the right seat. We traded cards and they will send pics. Soon as I get them, I will post them.

Ciao. JWE

Des-you got that turn done yet, mate?

[sprayed a mouth-full of coffee over the keyboard and screen]

Asked my Chinese toaster about this one I did, as my toaster is very wise. It's reply was that 'Chickens are very impatient birds, especially when they are worried' [:D]

....or in terms the chicken could understand....."BAK-BAKAAAWK"......hope I'm getting the pronunciation right.

No. You laid an egg on that one. [:'(]

Listen mate-if you bollocks up the turn and short out your computer by spitting coffee on it, I'm not redoing the turn. [:-] That's on you.

For your information CB I do the turn electronically in my head, and upload it on to my laptop for communication to you. That is how advanced my playing style is, also means I can read the code and see your every move. [;)]

Emu Mnemonic.....its like that move but with better acting.

My Keanu Reeves immitation (I've been told it's pretty good) follows. Ready for it? OK, here goes:

"Whoa!"

Thank you. Thank you. [bows]

Yeah, I've checked this out from time to time. Not sure about some of the language he uses to describe you though. For example, what does he mean addressing you as Colonel Jävlar? I just don't understand...

Funny, GT obviously didn't manage to translate Colonel ... and sure Johan would say something like that [8|]

... I expect him to recuperate though. If I know him right (after two previous campaigns), he'll be back with even more forces. Good thing with that is that I expect he then has to let go of some other territorial ambition, thus easing the pressure in some other theatre. For the time being, I guess the Chinese will dig in and wait for the upcoming storm ... and as always, have a little eye out towards doing some mischief. [:'(]

Hi all,

Right now we have about 40 cm of snow (this is more than 14 inches) in the past 24 hours and it is still falling very very very heavy... [X(]

Exactly 1 month ago we got 50+ (17 inches) cm of snow and now this...
