That's how I thought it should be VSWG. It's just a bit strange that Ulithi with more than 20k supplies
and the Southern Area HQ can't provide replacements for my air groups at Yap with 19.5 supplies. Have to double
check next turn.
The problem isn't so much supplies as the inability to MOVE supplies into a base.
As I believed he would, Andy moved his carrier TF north into the Java Sea.
I counter by placing 48 Zeke FBs on kami attack in a nearby base. Any further incursion will be met by a
heavy CAP and suicide attacks!!
