Zeta, I'm so glad to see you guys back with this AAR!
Ah, you said earlier that you had the opportunity to review Dude's dispositions while analyzing the bug. Have you been able to do a "brain dump" to clear those memories or do you feel you have an intel advantage now?
Boy that has been a long time ago early in January. I really don't remember much except he had a lot of AM5 groups that were organizing. But since we have started there have really been no airbattles, just some training and me taking back a few South Pacific bases. One thing I can say I have a ton of planes on recon since I have limited bases ath the moment I need to move out but I guess I am afraid of landing on atolls, which I should not be as Freeboy showed me. I also got rid of all of my notes I took of signet, those would come in handy at the moment, so I have to bulid those up again. My hardest thing is I have troops all over my bases in the pacific but ships every where else. I wish I had more Ap,s as those are my limiting factors at the moment to having any big operations.

RE: Poor Sallies
Thge Oscar sucks, you will need some Franks, georges, and jacks when they come out. Thise are the best planes the Japanese have late war. The Oscars and AM5 are not very good compaired to these. As all can see I am moving on another small island far from anything meaningful yet. Some day I will get some where Dude might worry a bit.
