Then the RTA folds like a house of cards. They don't seem as enthusiastic about the Greater Co-prosperity Sphere as the Shinto Boys. Most excerrent!
On a quick read of that line I thought it ended with "Most excrement!"!

That happened when I worked for a Japanese firm. The spell checker betrayed the sender. The e-mail went " Please welcome Hana-san. He is an excrement engineer". [:D]ORIGINAL: BBfanboy

OK, the Marine SBD's squadrons that arrive Jan '43, is there no way to convert them to older planes to free-up some SBD's for the Navy pilots?
I don't have enough USMC pilots trained in dive bombing for the squadrons to be useful.

The two Jap BB's in the Banda Sea have disappeared. They seem not to be at Kendari but they might well show up tonight and take on PoW

Cap,
Good Luck with PoW! One of my favorite ships in this game. I like some obscure ones as well, but PoW is pretty cool. I like it when she makes it past Jan '42.
