Hi Nevarinemex, thank you, the first map is challenging, but could be good if it covers the area I need to know, re Google Earth, I prefer Google maps, because you have terrain features. Re submarines coming in close to shore, I'd guess that only happened at night Lastly, I was told should you...

Hi FriendlyGhost, you just won understatement of the week for that one :openedeyewink: Now this is good, we might be able to get a good look at where USS Boise had her undergarments ripped off. But seriously, just what I'm looking for, for when the campaign unfolds Ah, an old friend of mine...

Hi vl100butch, Nellie?, that's a horse in my book! I had thoughts of but with a British and Indian angle to it plus a few guns to make a noise!

and Hi Wyboy26 and Merrick, Merrick is kinda right, Songkhla or Singora as it was known then was a small port at the mouth of the Songkhla lake. It had a good stone quay and could berth a small coastal steamer, with the rail tracks coming right up onto the quay. It was estimated that together...

Hi Derek, thank you for these, maps are always good. What I could do with is Nautical or Navigation charts for the waters in this theatre, depths are important for where submarine can operate

Hi Nbcman, thank you for this, that's helpful.

Hi Simon, thank you for this, I guess its all about what history we (the local populace) need as part of our general education. Is there much named after him?

Hi JWilly48519, thank you for this detailed but easy to understand explanation. I have a feeling that I have dipped my toe in such a deep pool of knowledge on the forum, that if I needed to know about Quantum Physics, I would quickly 'see the light'

Hi HJ Tulp, Singaporitis, oohh that sounds nasty, he'll need a sling for that!

Hi Vetinari, thank you for this, I remember discussing the Australian I Corps being redeployed quite some time ago, and I thought, (still do) that both 6th and 7th divisions were slated for Java, however I was going to do some work on the whole timetable of the arguments and plans for the return...

Hi USNA91, thank you for this, while it's a nice idea for my ATL to send them, I don't see the decision being made quite that quickly, these ships were part of the Atlantic Fleet, and therefore part of the Germany First commitment. I think the British have to display some military success in...

Hi Nevarinemex, pump ballast, where was that please.

Hi Merrick, this becomes an easier sell to the American Public, when pitched as the beginning of relieving the troops in Bataan in one of Roosevelts fireside radio chats. Now I know the JCS (Joint Chiefs of Staff) won't buy that, but I think, if pushed Roosevelt would fight the war similar in a...
