Muhahahahaha.
I wondered if Nik would try and reinforce PM. He clearly is. I like this. More things to bag in due course [:)]
SS RO34 will be receiving extra Saki rations and lots of women when they get home. They hit 2 AP's today. I think Moreton Bay should sink. Bye bye troop transport
I wondered whether Nik would move at least part of the AVG to intercept a bombing run. He shot down 8 crates known as Nates and a couple of Sonia's. No problem.
Yenen falls as predicted. I accept Paypal Buttface.
