isnt that what habakkuk is anyways? a mobile airbase.
the concrete version would be a much better long term investment though.
could move it to any hotspot where you would need it.

Actually it was made from newspaper, and wasn't more than a couple of inches thick.

Please people, let's not drift too far off-topic.
I'm sure Habakkuk discussions could go on for awhile, but can we take it somewhere else before we upset Astro? Thank you.

On the advice of my Solicitor
I would like to sincerely and unreservedly apologise for any mention or reference to Habakkuk. This was in no way intended to serve as a excuse for a wild digression into totally non relevant and non humorous topics totally unrelated to TTL or to provide Astrodragon with an excuse to drink beer, cider, pear based drinks or coffee, have a life or otherwise delay from the posting of the next update in the ongoing saga of the Whale Has Wings.

Hmmmm, Usertron has a good point. By the way, have the FAA's roundels been changed to the Far East version yet - like this?
I missed this. No way do the veteran air crews of the IJN mistake this for the Stars and Bars of USN aircraft insignia. Also, doesn't the FAA in Force Z include liquid-cooled engined aircraft? If so, that alone will be an eye-popping indicator for those Jap pilots! AFAIK, the USN had precisely ZERO such engines in use on carriers.
So, what would be the roundel colors in the deep reaches of the Pacific Ocean? Reversed colors of this? Sky blue outer circle with deep navy blue center?

It could be worse. The author could be me.
Or me. Yes, weve been massively spoiled by astrodragons prodigious output. Amazingly abundant and amazingly good.
True. I might be waiting for the latest installment of "Cato's Cavalry"... or an answer on why it took 5 minutes for an RN sub crew to fire torpedoes on "Splinters..."

Erm, I updated Cato's Cavalry on the weekend.
I am all for Astro's delay, given the fact that TTL Midway could very well result in the near annihilation of the entire Japanese Fleet leaving Japan's new empire all but helpless to defend itself against powerful USN and RN squadrons the butterfly's that this represents means that the very nature of TTL's WW2 is changed. Japan could sue for peace by the end of 1942 after a combined taskforce of USS Enterprise, USS Essex and HMS Audacious, HMS Irresistible bombs Tokyo and Tokyo Bay on December 7th 1942.
The more time Astro takes to work out the butterfly's the better as it means we will get a much more enjoyable timeline, my own TL i am taking my time as little butterfly's have a much greater effect than i originally realized.
