Cribtop was very upset over the events at Koepang. He stated in email that he considered resigning, but went out on town with family he had two beers. Next day, we are back at war. Both of us are our own worst critics. For me, I hope to delay the conquest of northern Australia and give me a better jumping off point later in the war.

RE: NFC East Slapdown: NY59Giants (A) vs Cribtop (J) - Between the Storms
Posted: Sun Jan 04, 2015 11:48 am
March '42 - Mr Cribtop has lots of places that need to be invaded and captured this month - Java, Tarakan, Balikpapan, Koepang, northern Australia, Horn Island, and maybe some others. Thus, Allied HQ will keep the DS operating from Perth and try to intervene. I have the AF1 now at Port Headland to allow fighter transfer between Australia and Java. Brit BFs are retreating to Oosthaven for hopeful transport back to Batavia. Remember that Dutch get some better airframes in March. IMO, this 'could' be an interesting month in the SRA area.

At San Fran -
TF for Christmas with Cmbt Eng, 2x fighter, 2x SBD, and PBY loading.
TF for Pago Pago with 2x AA, MAG (72 Aviation Support), 3rd BG, 8th PG (75 P-39s), and FA
TF for Pearl with fast AK and xAPs (16 knots or better) to load supplies once others leave. They will drop off supplies and load 4 MAG HQ and 5 BFs for Australia.
B-17s - the "D" models from Philippines are at Delhi training. The "F" are at Pearl. 9 groups with 8 planes each = 72.
ABDA fighters - the 5x P-40Es withdraw by 15th in Australia. So over 120 "E" models with some partially trained pilots will come into pool.
BTS/RA - both these mods give each side dedicated training air groups. I should be ready to harvest sometime this month. [8D]

I think a British officer in charge of setting up the withdrawl from Oosthaven to Batavia felt tea time (4pm) was more important than sending a message asking for LRCAP. [:D] Americans know how important tradition is to some Englishmen.
