Speaking of all the fundraiser stuff, have you ever considered a Patreon, Grey? I'm sure a lot of your regulars would pitch in a little, might help ya out some. You know, to repay you for the years of entertainment and hours of work you spend on this stuff.

I made it! Based off of the old Zoofights Croctopus (iirc Grey's avatar at the time was a US star insignia). There's a WITP Allied version, an Ogoonu version and an upcoming WITP Japan version!

Quoting for truth.

I can't really donate to the cause but went through my bank/couch for loose change as soon as the donation page came up.

Seriously, thanks for doing all of this. It's been weeks of entertainment for me on the forums and I still go back and listen to the rogue trader videos sometimes.

A bird language, a lizard language, and a whale language would suffice for now.

Brutally bombarding Bunna.



I throw more troops and supplies into Manus.



The land based planes do good.



We have a very good day over Rabaul.



Effective CAP's are good!






Their having another go at Wake!



Boom!



It's our friends in the 7th again – they seem to be throwing them at the beaches in non combat formations now.






We get some good hits in on the runway.






I killed a good number in the air and wiped out another invasion force – a good day!



Apparently I lost two ships.

Glad to chip in a bit on the fundme, and seconding the whole "Spend some on you and the wife" . There is plenty. Maybe a toyboat for Grey Jr.

All the hours you have spent on LPs that I have read, I wouldn't mind if you spend the money on Skittles or whatever.

Is there anyway to tell besides attacking and finally seeing the -supply or whatever modifier that the bombing is doing any good at all? I imagine the allied side has supplies just stacked up everywhere because Chungking is supposed to be next to impossible to crack but things like still seeing fighters getting up to your bombers despite the runway getting bombed all the time seems like they still have plenty to do repairs.

Thing about kids and museums is that the museum gets annoyed if you let your kid climb all over their immaculately restored vintage 1932 aeroplane, and the kids get annoyed if they can't climb all over the exhibits. Found one museum tjat had a bunch of old tanks sitting behind it, which the kids enjoyed to no end. Think one was a Sherman and one was a t34.

A good day for American subs is a bad day for the IJN: Croaker sinks light cruiser Nagara near Nagasaki and Guitarro sinks escort Kusagaki near Manila.

8 August 1944

You know all those German minesweepers dying around France? There are more: M-366, M-367, M-428, and M-438 all sunk by RAF Beaufighters near St. Nazaire. U-667 puts a homing torpedo into corvette HMS Regina off Cornwall, sinking her.

There's a copy of World Of Flames in my FLGS, a few of my friends worked there and said the owner has played a full game on a map that is at the state university here.

The box itself is smaller than a game of its calibre commands, I'd expect a Twilight Imperium sized box but its about the same size as a box of scrabble.

I'm excited to see Grey play it!
