Olav cuts down the last tree to make a sign about his "wood". I'm guessing there may be one of the "consanguinity" things going on in the Orkneys.

The B-24's (and a new squadron of B-17's from Fiji) attack the ground troops at Port Hedrand. The B-24 attcks were a little disjointed, likely because of rousy weather over PH. We could use a few days of good weather to pound the LYB's on the ground.

Interesting...he's got Nicks in theatre, I wonder why he's not put some in the CAP over PH? I'd put 'em over at Broome and LRCAP PH from there with 'em, but that's just me.

It's the sickness in me that says that the location of the camera would make for a great HMG site. What a field of fire!

Looks like a great place to catch fire too.

I am pretty sure the Nicks are in New York tonight...vs Nets I think.
Does Broome even have a team? I can't keep track of all these stupid expansion teams.

I some how imagine Cap Mandrake enduring his survivor endevors more like Thurston Howell III than Bear Grylls [8D]

Well, Broome's airfield and forts have certainly expanded. Of course, maybe an NBA team would prefer a crocodile-infested war zone overrun with angry LYBs. It beats Detroit.
