Did they ever let you take the "penetration aids" to local pubs to improve the chance of success?

A few sticky greens is the best "penetration aid". Although the "ladies" of Helensburgh seemed to have developed their own defences against such things.

Urban Dictionary

1. sticky green


Weed,dope,mary jane*, marijuana

Man i need some of that sticky green stuff

I think he's from the British Columbia branch of the family. There was some unseemly business with missing funds or some such thing. Likely he grew up in hemp clothes as a proto-hippie on the Gulf Islands somehwere.

Burma: JJ gets frisky over Ramree. Probabry "commandah's discretion". I bet he gets transferred...to Shimishura-jima

Another raid over Rangoon to pretty good effect. At least one Liberator II lost. If I had to guess I would say ALSP is trying to shut down Rangoon airfield prior to landing at Moulmein.
JJ just does not have a sufficient number of fighters.

Manila and Clark rebuild as fast as we can damage them. They must be rolling in suppries.

Supply not required to repair damage to bases.

But you might be eating up their supply with supply depot hits.

Milo wasn't thinking. Instead of having his hapless sidekick sign the drawing, he oughta open up an auction. I'll bet that Yamashiro would be willing to bid quite high to ensure his name isn't proudly etched on the drawing. Having the jihadis attack Hideki Tojo? Priceless.

Yamashiro is a battleship. Tojo is an airprane. It is an interesting idea. OSS fakes an affront to the Prophet (PBUH,IBEW,BPOE) allegedly committed by Japan-mens and then send in jihadi cheerleaders to the Southern PI and DEI and Malaysia. The problem would be to turn it off when the war is over.

Formosa/Okinawa: As far as I can tell, a digital die determines what to attack in naval bombardment. One night it's the
fireworks factory...next, 4th Division.

Night Naval bombardment of Naha at 95,66

Allied Ships

Sneaky LYB's send LRCAP over Taihoky...so we send the Corsairs

Morning Air attack on Taihoku , at 87,63

Estimated time to target is 13 minutes

They still manage some CAP over Naha...so we send in the P-47's

Morning Air attack on Naha , at 95,66

Weather in hex: Moderate rain

Raid spotted at 23 NM, estimated altitude 39,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 6 minutes

No Allied losses

Aircraft Attacking:
11 x P-47D2 Thunderbolt sweeping at 37000 feet

Then we bomb both praces. Raids over Taihoku are quite effective. Not so much over Naha.

The problem is the B-17's have to fly from Batan Is (level 5) and the B-24's from Aparri (level 6). You just can't sustatin the heavies from these airfields for long.

Aparri is still building but Batan Is is maxed out.

Karenko is at 4.17 and Miyako-jima at 3.9. Miyako might even make level 5 before we are ready to land at Okinawa.

Not sure where the fighters over Formosa are coming from. According to recon. Taihoku and Takao have been emptied of fighters.

Maybe China? Maybe the other bases on Formosa?

Ditto Okinwawa. Recon shows no fighters at Naha or Nago.

As far as I can tell, a digital die determines what to attack in naval bombardment.

Earlier in this AAR Cap you showed a mastery of the digital die roll ... you need to practice more [8D]

I think that was ALSP when he wrecked the KB off Port Hedrand.

Air losses from the 10th. Tojos wrecked on the ground at Naha and Rangoon. Herens slaughtered trying to attack Ramree.

One Wellington, one Liberator lost.
