[Nikademus]

-Communicae from Mac attack HQ-

Strategically....we are winning.

[:D]

[DuckofTindalos]

That's "communique", you illiterate American scuttmonkey!

[Speedysteve]

Americans can't spell you should know that. They are always putting 'Z''s in our words[:'(]

[DuckofTindalos]

Yeah, we should probably pity them... But let's just mock Buttdemus instead![:D]

[Nikademus]

Brady's been giving me tips

[DuckofTindalos]

You should choose your spelling instructors better.

[wernerpruckner]

Speedy,

Americans can't spell you should know that. They are always putting 'Z''s in our words

so it is Zpeedy and Nikademuz, but for the Dane it is Termi-nuts

[:'(]

[DuckofTindalos]

Hah! With that avatar, I'd be careful about the insults I sling![;)]

[Speedysteve]

That's right Zwift [;)]

[DuckofTindalos]

Don'tz encouragez himz, Zpeedymeizter...[;)]

[Speedysteve]

Firstly. You just gotta love this. Confirmed sunk by the commander a mere 30 minutes after being hit for the 2nd day in a row

[Speedysteve]

Now onto the fun stuff.

I had secretly been moving KB down towards Brisbane to annihilate the port. It worked:

Oh yeah. Air count for 2 days. Allid losses: 17. Japanese: 9.

More clear Japanese victories..........

[Nikademus]

odd result.......

considering i saw you coming and had evacuated the port.

[&:]

[Speedysteve]

Joking right?

[Nikademus]

'fraid not.

Be interesting to see the replay when i get home.

[Speedysteve]

Either majorly out of sync or a bevis moment on your part [:D]

Why oh why do my games goes out of sync!

[Nikademus]

Admitedly it could be either. I do clearly recall seeing your CV's well NE of Townsend and Brisbane and made the logical guess at what you were planning. (and i do have some experience in these types of operations)

[DuckofTindalos]

Sounds like good old Synchie the synch problem to me...

[Speedysteve]

A quieter couple of days.

I moved away from Brisbane since I didn't think it was fair to take advantage of a potential game glitch.

Nonetheless air action over Lae and in China. My expert Zero's performed well over LAe shooting down 13 attackers for 0 loss!

Overall losses for the 2 days were 22 Allied for 14 Japanese (7 op losses)

[Speedysteve]

Hi all,

Its been a fairly quiet past 4 days will little action across the theatre.

The past 2 days were different. I had a large transport fleet at Lae unloading so Nik sent over Beufort's escorted by Airacobras and Kittyhawaks. My elite fighters lost 1 plan but shot down about 20.

Nik also launched the first large raid against Mandalay. He caught me with my pants down and I only had 8 Zero's on CAP. LTJG Kawato did well though scoring his 12th, 13th and 14th victims. Little damage caused to the airfield.

Losses for 2 days:

Japanese: 14 (11 at Mandalay airfield)
Allied: 30

The reduced transport capacity is really making for a tough situation since its hard to move enough supply forward AND keep the resources and oil coming in.
