Situation in Sumatra. The Japs sent the ENTIRE 38th Div up the road from Djambi. I don't know where they find all these guys.

Jap unit approaching on the Southern route from Djmabi turns around when they find an Aussie brigade astride the pass.

19 Brigade retreats to Padang to hide under the canopy.

Roti bombed yesterday, Koepang today....hmmm? It's the same pattern. They take our recon flights from West to East and then the KB shows up. I was going to send out Arizona fromm Taberfane to try to make port but not now. She is safer in port.

He looks pretty swarthy to me ... demand a DNA check to confirm his race!
How about "Washington Lobbyists"? A fearsome team to be sure, unless you are amenable to a little financial persuasion to throw the game ...[;)]

Didn't the Picts in Scotland paint their faces? Also put things in their hair? Give them a hatchet as well and make them the new fact of the mascot.

The Picts didn't wear clothes in combat. They thought painting themselves blue would do the trick,.

The early Celts did not wear clothes in combat either. Maybe the blue colour was from the warm climate?

Pretend I have read the manual. There is a hot key that I can't find in the manual that shows how much the supply degrades over the various hexes from what ever hex you choose. I know it isn't a false memory and it isn't on pages 17 and 18 of the manual.

The problem is gentleman since they are also trying to destroy Washington, they will have to change their name again soon. They might as go for the full monty and change both names to the DC PCs.
