Really? Crap - I have no idea when half of my upgrades happen.  Will have to spend some time looking into that.

Another turn and another little bit of action.  For starters I forgot to move my sub and look what happened! I'm still ahead though.
 
In other news, I cross the river past Rahaeng and spank Raver's troops out of the way.  No my other troops in Burma (at Moulmein) can cross their river and form a pincer with them.  Things in Burma progressing at a satisfactory pace.
 
I also started beating up on the isolated, starving troops on the southern PI but they refused to surrender.  They'll just have to rot.
 
In China I continue to sweep odd individual chinese units out of the way with 5 and 6 times their number.  Raver will never get htese troops back into fighting trim, so happy enough for now taking Chinese units down and not gaining any new ground for the moment.
 
The first stage of Boris has launched, and both stages of Bert have launched together today.  You'll see some results extremely soon.  Elation  plods along like a dead duck, but there will be some results here too.
 
Operation Puke, a hastily dreamed up stop gap operation was planned, approved and will be launched all on the same day -sometime in the next 3 days or so.  Bluntly put, I'm working on the theory that since I didn't plan it, Raver can't expect it and there can't be any security leaks about it.  Puke isn't that exciting however, now as good as Bert, Boris & Elation will be (I hope).
 
I'm getting to the point in the game where I still have the initiative but I have so many options.  It is critical to decide on a few long term targets in order to maintain said initiative.

Cut the poor man a little slack -- it's impossible to guard against the Japanese everywhere, especially with Luskan dreaming up nasty surprises.
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?

The sad part is that they had just dropped off supplies and were going to be sent back to somewhere else next turn [:@]  I had no idea that the japs were even in the area, as I have yet to set-up my naval search sircraft (not that I have that many anyway, and I suspect that even if I did have then in place they still wouyld have slipped through).

Puke, Bert, Boris, ...... elation, insinuation, inspiration, deviation....
 
2 things.... Luskan, time to start thinking up some better operation names!!
 
And Raver, maybe time to swing some of your operations into effect. Maybe operation 'knee in the balls' would work. Or how about operation 'kick to the head'?? Sadly i think operation 'slap on the wrist' is all you have the resources for.
 
Bring on 1943!!

Well, as you can see, Operation Puke: The interception of a whole bunch of ships at Darwin by Tanaka and his light surface combatants was a success.  Subs with float planes are invaluable scouts for the japs.  Don't send them onto shipping lanes where they'll get shot at - keep them nearby where they'll report enemy ship movements in! Operation Puke was dreamed up when I had a float plane spot some ships near darwin, then an overflying Mavis confirmed their presence - at this point I'd already sent Tanaka, but the Mavis confirmation was what I needed to send him in (otherwise I would have just sent him back to Kendari). 
 
All other active operations on schedule this turn - no extra delays so far.  Bert and Boris are on track, Elation is still later than I would like but on par I guess, and
 
This turn my ASW takes revenge for my lost sub at pearl and sends one of Raver's subs (Skipjack) to the bottom.  Pleasing result all round, and a pleasing increase in experience for the crews of my ASW tf. 
 
In other news I drove across another Burmese river with little to no resistance from the allied defenders (routed two turns ago) and I beat Raver's troops on Luzon back another hex, as well as driving his Malayan troops south towards Mersing.  Although i've sent in a smaller force, I think Singapore will fall first, as travel on Luzon is a nightmare.  Takes forever.

The sneaky bananana boy is landing at Lae, now I have said in the past that I was of a mind to simply let PM slide, but now I have changed my mind and have a few traps set for the boy wonder.   I am hoping that he will either blunder into the trap or try and bee too darn smart of as a result trip himself up.  Either way it will be fun to watch.   this is a really frustrating time as the allies as I can see a number of chances to really spank the bananana (hmm....bad choice of words methinks [:-]) but due to a lack of quaility ships I have to bide my time.

Well, Lae is secure - now I have the option of over land or over the ocean.  As for traps, Raver has got some mines piled up at PM no doubt.  I'm sure i can find a way around them.
 
Coral sea is going to be a bit different this time around!
 
I've got my hubs in the solomons building up well so far. 
 
Bert Boris and Elation are all go.

Over land to PM?  Ha I will hold you on the Kakoda track !  Can't see how you can clear the mines from PM with my anti-shipping flights out of Cooktown (and PM). [:D]  There is going to be blood on the water ! Bert Boris and Elation sounds like an old Vaudeville act from the westend !  Really ratbrain you need to think up better operational names.[8|]

I understand totally. Tonight on way home from work picked up a bottle of Koonunga Hill Cabernet(from SE Oz) for the Wifeunit MkI and a 1.75L bottle of Baileys mostly for me and some for her.

All hail the likes of Luskan[&o][&o][&o] who help keep our two lands well stocked with nice things to drink during the year.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Raver,

I am going to visit family tomorrow for Thanksgiving (here in the states) and I asked if they wanted me to bring any fried banannas, roast banannas, or bananna pie.

They said NO!.

Some people just don't know how to enjoy themselves...
