Candi said I was a complete jerk and didn't want to see me anymore. I was in Vietnam at the time and never went back to where she lived.
Wendy said she found some one better, I think she found someone who was more willing to buy her large quantities of weed.

My ex just said <in a loud voice> "What are you doing home tonight??!!!" The rest is hazy. Good thing my uncle was the sheriff at the time (true story, too [:'(] )

Puerto Princessa is most troubling. From there, he can interdict most of your traffic through the South China Sea, unless it's very heavily escorted. All it would take would be a springboard from there onto Hainan island or the Vietnamese coast to secure the other side, block your railway to China and completely strangle oil and fuel transshipments. Were I to look at a particular locale needing gaijin-removal services, this would be my first stop. Before it gets too strong.
As an AFB I can not agree with you more .. secure both sides Southeast Asia and Puerto Princessa and everything becomes a target for dive bombers within normal range .. basically ensuring nothing passes unharmed. I have used this strategy in this pass .. train P39's and B-25's for low level strikes and this becomes even more dangerous to pass

Its difficult with him siting in the PI and lots of good advice here.
That said, its a game, no one dies or suffers. So do what makes you happy and gives you (and your opponent) a good time.

Puerto Princessa is a definite concern. Have an Air Flotilla, Brigade, and Engineer present. Probably a very good idea to add to that.

Dear John,
Gawds, worst words ever [:-]
My name is not John but I got two of those letters.
HAH! I have been getting 'those letters' for 50 years!

I leave for a seven hour work shift and my AAR blows up with confessions like this. Goodness. It is OK. EVERYONE can confess...

Adar,
I'm going to guess-based solely upon your name and your choice of diction-that you may not be native to the United States. In US linguistic vernacular, a "Dear John" letter is a letter one gets (historically, soldiers got this letter while away at the front) from one's sweetheart in which she breaks up with him. There are other equivalents-two posters shared theirs. I believe that one of them is even named John IRL, which makes the receipt of such a letter twice as ironically bitter.
I'm guessing that their responses-in terms of what they experienced in a "Dear John moment" are what they're saying was awful. Their experiences and their reactions have nothing to do with John III or this game or this AAR. Their visceral responses are their personal experiences with breakups and spousal infidelity.
Hope this helps. [:)]

I assumed so but thanks for the confirmation.

Looking at the map I realize now that it is not Puerto Princessa on Palawan that is already in Allied hands. What is the (now) Allied base that is 3 hexes WSW of Basuanga? That is the one to which I refer.
Puerto Princessa doesn't matter all that much compared to the chain of bases transiting unabated through the central Philippines. He still will have access to the South China Sea from that *other* base on Palawan-the one he currently 'owns'. A little supply and an EAB or two and he'll be good to go in no time.

The practice at West Point, during that first miserable year, when the plebes get "Dear John" letters was for the upperclassman to read, correct, and annotate the Dear John letter with editorial comments and return it to sender and share the letter with all.
