There was no Buna attack on the 19th, he duplicated the 18th attack in error. I'm occasionally finding large discrepancies between his reports and mine, but I don't trust the reports I'm receiving, so [&:]

Sorry about that, I do miss lines some times in my post. I always post from the combat reports. For instance that Buna attack combat report was 8 loses however my air claims were 28 or so and actually watching the attack it was 25 P-40Es shown as shot down. It all depends on what report/vision you have.

Quit surfing around the internet, v. [:@] I'm dying for my next turn. [:D]

2/23/42 It's very quiet. Too quiet. Every time I check my forces, its like they're frozen in amber. Come to think of it, my calendar isn't advancing. Let me check my email and see if there's any reports there.

Oh, my god, HE's BAAACK! (temporarily)

Here's the current status in Burma. Notice I switched out those IJN sunburst battle flags for IJA flags.[:)]

3/1/42 Fierce air battles going on over PM and Darwin, little else happening for the past 10 days or so. I wonder if WIAs ever come back? If someone knows, please say so, don't make me start a new thread. [:-]

I dont claim this as knowledge, I think I remember someone said WIA's are variable return dates. I believe they said it was quicker (or felt like it) if they were placed in TRACOM.
Good luck with it.

Thanks, Moo, I'll try and figure that out.

Nothing interesting to report today, so I'll celebrate the discovery of the Higgs boson. The following image was captured by an Atomic Force Microscope.

I haven't heard from Jason since the 13th, he was supposed to be back at work on Monday the 16th, but in Brisbane now it's the 18th. When he started his vacation I didn't hear from him for several days, but between the 11th and the 13th we got 8 turns in. I'm starting to get really worried.

edit 7/18 He saw my post and emailed me that he's still alive, but exhausted (aren't we supposed to go to work to get exhausted?).
[:)] He said on the turns he did in Townsville he skipped all the routine maintenance stuff, so it may take him a couple days to send me the next.

[:D][:D][:D] By Jove Geoff, THATS what you've been doing wrong all this time!

Obviously you are not a govt. worker - the recipe for success is to recover from your excesses of the night before, or vacation, or weekends at work. Telling tall tales around the water cooler until break time of course! Filing grievances against people who actually work at thier job to keep you from looking bad. And finally getting promoted because you have intimidated everyone -including the boss- that you will make thier lives a living hell if you don't get this promotion! [:D][:D][:D]

PS to Vontiger - I certainly don't mean to direct this at you... This was my slapstick comeback at Geoff's sarcasm as I read it.

Yeah, Moo, it's like Woody Allen (who I find revolting but that's another story) said when asked if he thought sex was dirty, his reply was it is if you're doing it right. That axiom applies well here, if you come back from vacation well rested, you totally f***ed it up and should be ashamed of yourself. vontiger obviously understands this fact and performed admirably. My sarcasm was evidence of my envy. [8D]

Back from my holiday, Townsville is nice this time of year...
