My dear sir. Please note the Capn's request for input from ALSP-the Lord Admiral himself. If he wanted input from the likes of us, he'd ask for the opinion of the peanut gallery / rabble / tittering monkeys.

RE: Sturm und drang
I just realized by looking back at the March 25 turn that there is already an Indian division and a separate brigade on the move from Akyab.
Also there are 2 armourd brigades and one Indian infantry division moving from Kalmeyo.
I dictated this post with Dragon dictation.
Educate imagine it is not very good with Indiana and Bernice placed names [:D][:D]

Just looked the turn file. There is a LYB multiple carrier taffy and transports bearing down on Oahu from about 9 hexes out!
All we have there are a Brewster training squadron, float planes and 12 P-40B's [X(]

Looks like April Fools! Come to think of it, faking a Pearl invasion while the Allies are invading the Philippines is a great April Fools idea, if you can time the turns right.

More dock space at Colombo. [:)] It might have been Vicky. Plus the first day of the landing at Port Blair went well. No mines, no shore guns. No aircraft.
