The yellow blot just got bigger.  All together now, “We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine.”

The World Wildlife Foundation says the Great Barrier Reef is endangered and they want the Allies to put more blocker dd’s out so that the Japanese can sink them to make artificial reefs.  The Japanese are doing their part by sending out their own blocker dd’s for the allies to sink.  The total PUs, Production, # of units and TUV are very close.  I don’t recall ever seeing the axis at the same level as the allies at this early stage of the game.

S.A.:  please edit NCM Jpn sub from sz39>sz38.  It originally was in sz37.  I ended up not having putting any planes to scramble from India.

Garg and I think alike.  Why build mech inf when you can build tanks.  My 7 tanks in West India reduce the need for planes for offense and defense.
