Bring me the head of Diego Garcia...and the Mayor of Addu Atoll too!

[sprior]

Planning starts for Op Yorker, the invasion of Bengay. 9th Aus Div, 56th UK Brig and supporting elements are the first to begin planning. Once JJs troops in the Drwin/Katherine region are sorted 18th UK and 6th and 7th Aus Divs will begin planning.

And may God have mercy on our souls.

There's that word - "planning (or pranning)" again. What's wrong with spontanaeity [sp?]? Ad libbing? Off the cuff? Shoot from the hip? Go with how you feel today?
Wouldn't want to get [shudder] predictable, would you?

[sprior]

I don't think an 5 division assault on Bengay counts as predictable.

"Bengay" is a place?

Ah. I knew it was a balm for sore muscles. That should work. Drop some engineers at Enggano too and build an airfield. Don't forget to change I Aus Corps targets (which had been set by me to whatever that burg is up the coast).

Yeeehaaa

[sprior]

I wonder if they'll notice that we still own it?

Maj. Walseth, 1st Marine Raider Bn.: <speaking on radio> Apache base this is Apache One. We are on Kai Echo India-landen not Kai Echo-landen. Am I directed to establish base or prepare for evac, over?

Mandrake, I gotta call B***s*** on this one: Every USMC field-grade officer I ever dealt with in the 3rd MarDiv with an aggression rating over 80 (in other words, all of 'em), would have radioed the following message: "Apache base this is Apache One. We are killing 'em all. Let God sort 'em out..."

I want that chief with the stupid hat in custody. Don't kill him, just keep out of my way. The construction boys from the Navy and 21st Marine should be here in 6 hrs. Let's pretend we know what we are doing!

The narrative follows the game results. [:)]

Here is the deal, I think. when a non-garrisoned LYB-controlled dot hex changes to Allied control via an expressly ordered attack, there is no report in the combat report. Despite this, Kai-e(i)landed is glowing that satisfying green color now.

I am pretty sure it is the Dutch thingy, again.

Didn't get much done this weekend as SG threw a birthday partay for her 80 yr old adoptive mom. As a consequence, the Chicago crowd flew in. That is the craziest group of human beings I have ever met. The 75+ (women) crowd made sex jokes that made me nearly aspirate my fajitas.

They told one story of the family getting in a fight with the Polish family up the street. It started with a teasing incident at school between 10 year olds, then escalated to the 15 year olds, then the mothers, then the grandparents. It sounded like the first day of Gettysburg. Gamble takes on the CSA infantry, then I Corps arrives, then Early...etc., etc.

A classic meeting engagement. Superior Polish cavalry force taunts Italian cavalry (male 12 year old vs female 10 year old). This prompts prompts a recon in force by Italians (15 year old, 120 lb wrestler) to Polish encampment leading to an ambush by Polish skirmishers (hard slap in face by big-boned Polish mother who objected to having the Polish cavalry troop called "little ******"). This lead to a major engagement in the street between Italian and Polish infantry with the eventual arrival of reserves.

OK - I give up. If those are pedal-boats, how are those amputees propelling them?[&:].
Don't tell me they are methane powered - I see no bubbles behind the boats.

Say, are those special twin 2mm or 4mm Oerlikon AA mounts up forward? [;)]
