You know you west coast people really ought to stop hog'n all the Oregon Pinot noirs.

ps That Willamette Valley is the place I ought a be.
pss Is that a Calif. Cab? Hard to tell with old orbs in the socket.

I have to agree with you on this one .. some very excellent tasting Pinot Noirs are coming from the Willamette Valley .. certainly in my opinion a much better value than the Napa Valley ... maybe not quite as good although wine tasting is a personal preference and the spectrum dry oak taste with various fruit/vanilla/chocolate finishes being even more of a religion of what makes a great Pinot Noir ... I might suggest some of the Pinot Noirs coming from Paso Robles being of excellent value The region does not have the haute sophistication of Napa valley but the grapes are thriving ..as long as you are not trying to imagine the home from which it came .. the wines are quite good in my opinion ...

Yadda Yadda, IIRC we played 3 matches or was it 2 and WHOM won all of those? [:'(]
Ofc it was the only matches i won and still some how we both made it to the final.
Its more like a PT boat sinking the Yamato with its 12.7mm as its out of torps.[;)]

Rasmus, hey Aaron did fine last year for me except he was injured for like 8 or so games out 12.

Phantom naval support?

Several bases in Luzon seem to have more naval support points than exist among the units at the base? Are these outside contractors, M&M Enterprises, perhaps? Some kind of odd naval support CAP from adjoining bases? Something intrinsic to Luzon bases? Perhaps a nod by the AI to the extraordinary good looks of the Arried High Command?

Cebu USN base force. 100 naval support. The SeaBees have none. By ra way, I'm not sure what these whining malingerers have to complain about morale-wise. The nearest LYB's are 170 miles away in Manira and they don't have any pranes that work.

Perhaps SWPAC HQ? I am pretty sure they have naval support points. They are in Iba. Do you mean to tell me they can magically project heavy equipment over 200 miles of LYB-infested jungle?

Does anyone else find sub patrol plotting tedious? I sent some US subs to the Bay of Bengal so I don't have to worry about them [:)]

How cool would Engrish ranguage text commands be? "Subron 3 to patrol the East China Sea West of Tokara Retto."

What is more annoying is setting a patrol area for a sub not currently in that area. First point is great.. then when you have to select the second and third patrol point, it brings the screen all the way back to the area the sub is currently located, not right next the the previous patrol point you selected. Very annorring...

Naval Support is shared..or something along those lines if it is in range.. something like that.. has to do with HQs if I remember the manual correctly.

ALFRED!!??

Well, no, but they can provide support over the phone. You know like you get phone support for a PC or possibly a mental health support network. Maybe the lack of support is why your poor widdle sea-bee-wee-bees have a 45 morale-they're not getting the 'support' they need from afar. Boo hoo... Crybaby Allied dogs!

nav support and AV from HQ's has a radius. This reflects that the big boss is watching so everyone works harder. It says so in the manual, trust me. Plus they print out leaflets that say "lift with your knees". (Also why moral is low).
