Wow, can't believe we are already in 1942. The new B-18 model should be arriving soon.
I don't think I'll watch the replay. I can't take the aggravation of a dud torp hitting Taiyo. 2 days in a row Taiyo is almost killed.

So sorry, Captain. She only consorts with Air Force Majors. Bad joss for lesser ranks. Maybe try this Genie for ranks Captain and below?
I never trust a genie that spends that much time on beard grooming.
So. No "Brazilian" Genies for you?
Sometimes you meet a nice Brazilian genie...but eventually, your worst fears are realized.

Meanwhile back at Noumea seems the HQ beer stash was exposed during the bombardment, the rank and file will make sure it is safe. Wait a second - this isn't Hudepuhl! (Hard to believe this was a real advertisement.)

The good news...we find the KB!
The bad news...they LYB's show up off Sydney and our crust of fighters is too thin.
I was trying to draw some of JJ's resources away from N&IC by bombarding JJ on the coast above Brisbane. It sort of worked.

N$IC: I wondered what would happen in a Kongo class vs 2 prewar USN BB's....this. Because of the surface thraat, all the troopships turned around but the BB's stay at Noumea.
No moonlight. Perfect for the IJN one would think although it would reduce the time to light off Rong Rances. In any event, USS Fox has a short night of it.

N$IC: I wondered what would happen in a Kongo class vs 2 prewar USN BB's....this. Because of the surface thraat, all the troopships turned around but the BB's stay at Noumea.
No moonlight. Perfect for the IJN one would think although it would reduce the time to light off Rong Rances. In any event, USS Fox has a short night of it.

The IJN runs away but Kongo must be partly crippled as they detach her....the sun comes up. This would seem to favor the greater throw weight of 2 BB's
