DurnedWolf (Allies) vs ADM Halsey (Japanese)
Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2005 8:16 pm
Historic 1st turn w/surprise
Anything goes. I like a game where you take every advantage you can find. All is fair in love and war.
Halsey agrees to activate Soviets - he can attack in June of 42 while I can't use them until Aug of 42.
It will be interesting to see what his opening strategy will be.
As of 12-10-41:
Moderate naval losses @ PH from KB attack. I've already lost Hong Kong and Japan has a foothold in the PI. I believe Wake will hold. I am already deploying counter strategies against my numerically superior foe.
Raheang has been captured by British troops. It will be interesting to see what he does.

Another cold spell is coming to these parts, according to local weatherman Hue Witt. He says it's gunna be mighty damned cold, with plenty of wind from the East, and if'n your milking your cows tomorrow morning you might wanta warm your hands under your armpit afore you go messing around with O'l Bessy's teats or she's gunna kick you for shure.
Pete Wilson at the local mearchant's store has canned peaches on sale at really low prices - 3 cans for two bits. He also wants to pass along that the store has a fresh supply of plug tobbacky.
Fred Cooper tied one on (again) the night afore last and was found this morning in Jan Bloomer's chicken coop. She discovered him in the morning when out collecting eggs for the market and called Shariff Watson to come over and apprehend Fred. Shariff Watson said Fred was covered in chicken crap and that he had to toss Fred into the Wishywashy river to clean up some before taking him off to jail. Watson said he'd be damned if'n his jail was gunna smell like chicken crap.
Jan Bloomer says she thinks Fred was doing unatural acts with her chickens last night on account of her rooster (named Bruster) seemed some put off by what had been going on in the coop during the night. Of course you all know Jan so if'n you want to get more on this sorded affair you can see her at the market where she'll be selling her eggs.

After a stunning, sneaky, devious attack by Japan, the allies find themselves at war. Allied military leaders are quickly assessing their options as Japan takes aim at a sleeping giant. As one prominent rancher in Texas noted, "People are just madder than a big O'l grizzly with a sore tooth. We're a fixin' to take aim at them sneaky Japanese polecats - an folks from Texas ain't to much for missing what they aim at!"
Hong Kong has fallen, and the Japs have hit the PI, Wake Island, and Malaya. Current reports show Wake Island is holding out. Bloody fighting in the PI pits American troops against a numerically superior force. As corespondents in the PI note, "The PI is a target-rich environment."
The British forces in Burma have declared a stunning victory @ Rahaeng. British foot soldiers, in a stunning night attack, captured the Japanese Rahaeng Base and are already digging in. As one British soldier noted, "We have plenty of ammo and prepared firing positions. If the wee buggers want this base back they'll have to dodge Her Majesty's bullets and artillery rounds."
This is Al Bedwettter signing off tonight for radio station KTDJ (Kill Them Damned Japs). We'll be back to you with more news on the war front tomorrow morning when we start off with more news and music at 6am. G'nite all.
