Burma is screwed all my troops at Katha are now well and truly cut off as a unit popped up on the retreatside of katha. I must say well done by Adm Spraunce. Problem now is how to retreat to rangoon without losing everything. I can only hope that he can see that all bases have units and starts seeing ghosts and stops his own drive.
Caught him out in the open off Lunga. I hope with these two attacks by single carriers, makes him split up his super carrier group. If I had of gone in the same area of my last attack he would have had a major convoy sitting on the bottom.
