Economically, what happens to Oz if you were to destroy all refinery capacity and shut all flow of supplies and fuel from CONUS and then harass or stop supply flow and fuel from South Africa?

They would have a fuel shortage for sure but what about supplies?

Has anyone either been able to do that or been at the receiving end?

All those beautiful Australian actresses would blow up on carbs instead staying lean on meat. [:(]

Glad to see ha-rarrity has resumed.

Ah, but look at the hints of curves and the button line bulging in the right place!

Sorry guys, I guess Cap is stuck looking at that Helen Reddy link I posted.

OK, I looked at the Helen Reddy pictures. Santa Maria! I'll be back in a bit. I have to go take care of something. Yeah, that's it.

[Cap Mandrake]

Well, that didn't take long. They just don't make them like Helen any more.

[Cap Mandrake]

Still don't know where Admiral Sir Lord SPrior is. Probably being keel-hauled for making fun of officers.

[Cap Mandrake]

I think SG might have snapped. She's posting in a community blog about the Gypsy woman with kids in tow begging outside of the Pollo Loco. [:D]

I have to admit it is pretty low to make children stand out in the hot sun to boost revenues.

[Cap Mandrake]

I once took care of the first baby of a Roma family. Those were the happiest two parents I have ever seen. They were like a comedy stand up team. The dad asked if he could pay with gold. [:D]

[Cap Mandrake]

Anyone live near Portsmouth? Please go down and see what happened to Admiral Sir Lord SPrior.[:)]

[witpqs]

Anyone live near Portsmouth?

New Hampshire?

Ummm...second from the right. She's OK, I guess, but...well...to each their own, I guess.

Japan-men getting crose to start war again to riberate oppressed peopurhs of Greater Co-prosperity Sphere. Porring show 89% of oppressed peopurhs rearry excited, except maybe in China and Phirripines.

[Cap Mandrake]

I re-examined the situation near Fiji. Mouseover intel shows an USN TF 280 nm SE of the IJN carriers. This is allegedly composed of 2 CV's and 6 TK's moving SW.


I initially dismissed this as probable TK's with escorts but I can't work out how that many TK's could arrive at that patch of ocean so quickly unless they departed from Melbourne or Sydney and then were turned around.

Could this TF really be the two USN carriers united?

[Cap Mandrake]

This brings up an interesting tactical decision. Should we send the 3 carriers south to intercept?

Would the Allies even stick around? We have 187 aircraft aboard and enough torps for at least one attack.

Akagi and Hiryu are about 2 d north of Samoa.
