<A group of airmen appear to be polishing the sheet metal of the superstructure with curious semicircular motions of their arms. There is a pleasing rhythmicity to their movements. The camera draws nearer and we become aware an officer is giving orders>

I know nothing about Japan-mens economy save for accidental scraps of information gleaned from the adults around the dinner table. I'm not sure Rord Admirar SPrior is any better off.
DON'T PANIC!

Dear Lord - they've switched sides?!
Who are you playing and will you be visiting Broadway in '44 or '45?
Lt. Miyagi, IJN,
"Fly too high, safe. Fly under Pearl CAP, safe. Fly straight down the middle, sooner or later get squish just like H&M competitor. Here, Japans-side, same thing. Either you squash allies 'yes' or squash allies 'no.' You nevah do 'guess so.'"

I'm getting the whole set!
ETA: I didn't see any Dutch or Chinese army dummies for practice beatings. I wonder if that's in an add-on?

[:D][:D] Haha! That-ah broody funny.
That reminds me of a line by Walter Matthau who played "Whiplass Willie" in
The Fortune Cookie
Matthau is an amubulance chaser. He passes a young woman raising money for "Unwed Mothers"
He stops and gives her some cash, saying, "I'm for that". [:D]

I am looking forward to the transmogrification of Cap Mandrake's writing style to elegant and nuanced Japanese (carefully and artfully transliterated to American English).

We will be fighting the Imperialist aggressors of hyberbill and krishub1*
We will be doing scenario 28 DBB v B with stacking limits and Symon's antistratospheroscope mod.
PDU on....I think.
All Japan-mens ships will have, croaking devices, automated Halon fire extinguisher systems and reinforced drain plugs.

I'm looking forward to this almost as much as a Vogon poetry recital. Needless to say, I have my towel handy.

As you folks have "Player 1" this time, remember to select the options correctly. For example, upgrades and replacements, so you don't wind up with empty pools when planned otherwise. [8D]
