Suggest you be a good neighbor and share plans with them for a truly best on street $15,000 built in BBQ grill.

Brilliantly devious but I they already have a custom outdoor kitchen with a brick pizza oven. Maybe a reflecting pond?
I agree with witpqs - ponds get taken over by bugs and scum, unless SG want a cleaning lad to come over twice a week to take care of things.

Just go with the $10,000 mailbox with jockey figure holding fishing pole and arm draped over a pink flamingo ...

This is an AAR? I thought it was a yard art discussion forum! Did I google the wrong result?

Yes Chickenboy! Man with boyish behavior not likely to strut, posture and make war just to prove his manhood, unlike some world leaders and US presidential candidates ... [X(] Besides, our comedians need fodder too! [:D]

Interesting name. Old French Aristocracy. Can you imagine serving on the USS Manlove though?

Saw a food truck at the hospital yesterday that said "Maine Lobster" on the side....so I got to thinking. That is quite a brand name. I wonder..


***************Maine/New Hampshire border, New Hampshire side, 100 yds off shore, 70 ft of water*****************


Daddy "Big legs" Lobster: Now...I want everyone to wait until you can't hear the Fish and Game boat..then we make a run for it.

Jr.: Oh, we are going to be rich! We'll be swimming in butter.

Daddy "Big legs" Lobster: Don't you EVER say that again! We are fleeing octopus on lobster violence..PERIOD! Everyone got that?

Will the prewar BB's be able to rearm at Auckland (Level 5 port, 36 naval support)?

Mauna Loa is still burning at Noumea. Fire level now 86. Hard to find anyone willing to go put it out.

USS Pyro (AE) is probably still 4 days out from Tanna. We need to rearm our BB's and get them back to Noumea.

Without even looking it up, I really doubt it. Can you get an AKE or AE there?

Mauna Loa is still burning at Noumea. Fire level now 86. Hard to find anyone willing to go put it out.
The table in the printed book says for 14" Mark VII you need 576 naval support and for the 14" Mark 8 you need 540. (one of these gun marks is British).
For 16"/45 Mark 5 you need 874 ns.

Don't be afraid to run that AKE at full speed - it will have a long time disbanded to deal with damage.

Right..back to the original plan which was to send USS Pyro to Tanna which already has an AD and AO. We also have another AD coming with Pyro so Noumea can have its own AD again.

Does the USN have an AK class that can be converted to AKE in March 42?

In stock scenarios the US starts with somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 xAKs that can convert to AKEs and a handful that can convert to AEs.

Over the course of the first three months they get somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 more entering.

If the Allied player has a heads up awareness of this and starts the conversions immediately he can quickly have more ammunition ships available than locales they can be used at.

A player without a heads up awareness will likely have these valuable ships hauling supplies.
