Jap bombers operating out of Port Blair at our troops ashore. Apparently we brought some Bofors guns with us. Even so, it can't go on forever. We will need to get them some help.

70th Brigade at Colombo will reinforce.

--P-38 sweeps over Rangoon?

--B-24, Liberator day raids over Rangoon. Wellingtons at night (just like the 8th AF and RAF did in Europe). I can send a couple of B-24 squadrons from Manado?

Like ordering from a Chinese menu: One from column "A". One from column "B". Get the Thai shrimp fried rice too! HAI! [&o]

Splendid! Send in Repulse to bombard the tar out of them the night before. Maybe send something smallish to Little Andaman and get an airfield going so we can an LRCAP over the lads on Big Andman. Invading is fun! [:)]

Well, he did win a Burma Star.

Count Manfred Beckett Czernin, not to be confused with his dad. The dude was just the guy to fly 3 sorties in one day when everybody else was still on the ground. He shot down 2 1/2 Bf110's in one day then Adolf Galand shot him down. His mom was English (Czernin, not Galland). Grandpappy was Ernest Beckett, 2nd Baron Grimthorpe. Not sure what the 2nd Baron Grimethorpe does, probably works with wizards or something.

Okay, we do pre-flight check now.
One, one beautiful propeller blade!
Two, two beautiful propeller blades!
Three, three wonderful propeller blades! UH-HUH-HUH! [flash of lightning, thunder sounds]
Propeller OK!
Now we check landing gear.
One, one lovely nose wheel!
One, one lovely port main wheel!
One, one lovely starboard main wheel!
Landing gear OK, but boring.

See, I can't get the SeaBees to work that fast. What gives?

I am experiencing some regret over the loss of all the minesweepers and little shit like that in Operation Premature Incarceration. They seldom get the attention of the larger combatants.

Time to take a few moments to remember and recharge for the Northern Luzon landing.

That's it then? Rum? I despair at all the resources we wasted on Parchesi sets.

I watched the replay as well. Found this out.


1) The fighter sweep over Ramree came from two bases, most likely Rangoon and somewhere in central Burma, Magwe or Mandaray? This means the calculus about JJ stripping their CAP over Rangoon is wrong. It will still be hotter than Hell for Arried bombers. Maybe 1 day of P-38 sweeps and then send in the bombers on day 2?

2) The medium bombers over Port Blair are coming from the mainland, Tavoy or Bangkok maybe? The Sonias are at Port Blair. This, of course, means we won't be able to stop the attacks on the Port Blair force by putting Port Blair airfield out.

3) Amazingly, our recon activity over Flores and Koepang has apparently caused JJ to reinforce both. There are now well over 30K troops at Koepang.

4) Air raids over Chungking were unescorted this turn. Ambush opportunity. Dont know where our fighters will come from. [:)]

5) The LYB unit SE of Ramree either crossed the river or they went jungle on us.

6) Aparri is apparently operational as an airfield on Luzon.

7) San Jose FINALLY went level 2. This pushes the SBD attack range forward about 200 miles, now covering Clark, Manira and out into the South China Sea almost to the Spratleys.

8) Milo's new breastaurant at Batangas is open and there is a long line to get in.

9) Finished Quartered Safe Out There. Wonderful book. Makes you want to go to India..but not Burma. [:)]

Looked like a Martian sunrise this morning. Beautiful. Too bad it's from brush fires.


Here is my question. If you are under one of those PBY's dropping fire retardant, would you still be able to play WITP/AE or would you have to switch to a first person shooter or Castleville or something like that?

[Cap Mandrake]

The fight heats up....not with JJ...but with my HOA. I ask for a deadline extension on a paint job because they took 2 1/2 weeks to get back to me on where I could get the damn form for their benevolent approval to change from Eastern Pale Morning Dun to Western Evening Sage.

Here is the email the ******* ***** sent back.

Dear Mr. Mandrake,

The forms are available to you online at www.xxxxxx.org under the documents and
forms tab. You will only need one form to both paint your house and garage door.
Since this violation has been open since August 2012, you will need to submit a
request in writing to the Board for an extension. If you have any further
questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Warm Regards,

Don't you just love the "Because We Care" bit?

It sounds like a communication between the Arries after I got Warspite sunk. [:D]

Have you considered secession?

You no longer pay the Mayan, so you can afford a border guard.
