PROVISIONAL ORDERS: OPERATION TESTICOND
The First and Second Carthaginian Brigades shall advance in a enveloping maneuver on Babar. They will be supported by the Provisional Pachyderm Battalions under Col. H. Lecter, Sr. ....
Private Curly will lay banana peels in front of the enemy position, while Private Moe will harass the enemy skirmishers by poking them in the eye...

I think maybe some of the USMC were injured by all the hot brass ejecting into their positions.

I think it is time for the Marines to counter attack. BTW what are the infantry experience values in the PI? some have to be close to triple digits.

Sent in Col. Harry B Liversedge to run things on Batan Is. It seems he is well recommended. No counterattack at Batan because the Japs are dead to the man or they got back on the war canoes.
