Woo-hoo!

Umm...doesn't the beta patch fix the borkulated supply draw too? You know, the one that allows you to draw supply in N. Australia across a 400-mile dirt path to feed 2.5 divisions plus Arty? I suspect that a good deal of your supply pathways would have to be reconfigured if this is the case.

Had their been a dirt path from Meekathara to Port Hedland or even a mythical railway we would not have lost 3 carriers trying to get there. Had there been a previous fix for unit hoarding I dont think we would have lost any carriers.

102nd Engineer Bn. still has 16,500 tons of supply, down from 19,000 last turn. As long as we can make another supply run to PH when the carriers are ready, the landing force and PH will NOT be evicted with the force JJ has there now. Depending on the JJ supply/resupply situation, we may even be able to attack and take the place before the carriers come back.

Yes this is quite a problem in the land of Oz. I have never been able to draw supply north of Alice Springs even with the stock patch. I can tell you that the lack of an ability to move Oil, Fuel, Resources and Supplies greatly efffects the game. It effects not only operational supply but the strategic transport of supply, oil, and fuel. Prior to upgrading I lost TK's because fuel would not transfer along the rail lines, and of course submarines awaited to deliver their fate ..Now I unload in Perth and over time the Fuel and Oil makes it way to Melbourne and Sydney. A much more playable game.

Not my experience with stock patch i version. Supply in and around the Darwin area, via mythical railway or mythical dirt path flows with alacrity.

[USSAmerica]

That's not supply flow, CB, it's proper planning for your ThreadWar LYB's coming to visit.  [:'(]

[Cap Mandrake]

I think it has been pretty well established that the mysterious "supply walkabout" phenomenon in the Katherine only applies to the LYB's.

That is how they were able to land in Wyndham and walk across the desert and cut off Darwin in WWII(c)

I think it is secret code..sort of a sleath, terrestrial "Zero bonus".

Captain Binns Minor MC (promoted and decorated for the bicycle tyre affair in Malaya); I say, you there, American chappie!
PFC Ramon Leon: Wadda ya want bud?
Captain Binns Minor MC: Are all these crates really yours? It's just that well you know, we seem to be missing some of our gear.
PFC Leon: We found it all on the beach. It's ours
Captain Binns Minor MC: Well that's as maybe, do you mind if I look inside?
PFC Leon: Look, it says 105 ammo and that's what's in the box buddy.
Captain Binns Minor: 105? Oh, you chaps are using that god awful French system, it'll never catch on in Blighty you know. I'll just take a quiclk shufti. (Opens nearest crate) Oh, I say, this one's full of bully beef.... and this one bren ammo. I rather think you have the wrong crates my good man.
PFC Leon: Yeah, okay bud.
Captain Binns Minor: Look, I'll have my quarterbloke talk to your quarter bloke and we'll have this all sorted out in a jiffy, what?

Here is the thing. Why does it always have to be the Puertorriqueno with the street vernacular and involvement in suspected illegal activity? Why can't it be a Jew? That's what I want to know. I'll tell you why. You see, the Puertorriqueno is stereotyped as ill-educated and racially inclined to crime. Plus, all the writers are Jewish and especially the publsihers are Jews and they are not going to allow something bad to be said about the Jews.

We, the members of las Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional Puertorriqueña, hereby post notice that the Jew headquaters of this organization will be attacked (if we can find out where it is) or we might hire an attorney too.

Chalkboard guy who can barely hide his resentment at his low station despite his superior intellect but who consoles himself with a tell-all war diary which he hopes to have published by his uncle who owns a publishing house in New York: No, Chief. It IS done. There are no reported losses.

Yowza! Holy Toledo!

(You do realise that $300 in 1942 is equivalent to $4,000 in 2011 - I believe your Puertorriquenos were overcharged by that Jewish copywriter whose services they engaged!)

Speaking of which.

The unit cost for a B-17E in World War II was apparently just over $238,000.

That equates to about $3.25 million.

That's actually not that expensive if you think about it? If you bear in mind the unit costs of attack aircraft in use today?

Captain Binns, eh? I understand that he made quite a name for himself falling off his bike throughout the UK later in life. If memory suits, he damaged his sandwich in one particular episode and had to have it repaired.

.."Fuddy Duddy" went up for sale for about $3.5 Million. in 2005 ..

The real cost of a B-17 is not the Sticker price . they require lots of love and care relected in aviation support and supplies to keep them flying. About $5K per hour in 2011 terms ..

Ok back to the war ...

Yes, but the cost of the marmite was covered by insurance.

[witpqs]

It could be an Irishman who was accepted as an Italian mobster hijacking trucks as they leave the port. Okay, Okay, in the movie it was trucks leaving the airport, but you get the idea. And the thing is, it was a true story about that Irishman who was an Italian mobster and he was played by an Irishman with an Italian screen name! DeNiro. [:'(]

My neighbor bought Fuddy Duddy. It flew over my house (and his) about 3 weeks ago with a B-25 chase plane. The tail is pointed bright yellow and is HUGE. It looks like a flying tail with the rest of the plane stuck on as an afterthought. I am pretty sure it does not have a muffler either. It sounded like they were being gentle on the engines because it sounded like they were barely turning over.

I saw they guy on the toll road yesterday in his Lincoln with his driver. There are two toll road exits. One saves about 50 cents but you have to drive past the unwashed near the Target store. That is where I got off. As a social experiment, I watched where his driver exited. Anyone want to guess?

[Chickenboy]

I don't know, Cap'n. Seems as though your neighbor, being one of those 1%ers for whom we can blame for all our societal ills, should want to increase his day-to-day contact with the teeming masses in order to show that he's a real Joe, just like them. Maybe he'll have an assistant do it for him. Those masses can be messy when they're teeming.

Nope...he has been beat up pretty badly by the real estate crunch and then there is all that B-17 gas. He is not in the Forbes 400 any longer.


As a matter of fact, I am pretty sure, WE, the disciples of AE/WITP, are the 1%.


We may even be the 0.1%
