Effort to interrupt supply route at Kukong seems to have worked as the Unit is not pushed off the MLS yet.

Status: offline 		In other news, a DD task group sent to shell Hilo was caught after a bombardment run by one IJN CA TF and then by a different CL TF on withdrawl and was destroyed w/ loss of 5 DDs and one DMS.

I did not watch the combat replay on the previous turn until later as it showed the incoming DD TF spotted the previous day, so either Fatr reacted or the 6range of his SCTFs worked very well...
I do feel bad as I probably would have called off the raid if i had watched the replay.

FatR is a quick responder. He will send something to try to punish me...

Status: offline 		IJA pulled back from a northern press from Changsha.   These 60 units last attacked at 75% strength.  I brought in some air support from CBI and seemed to accomplish some effect on the enemy.  Cap really ate some helens.  Must
have shot down about 30 LBA. Some B25s started to bomb the 60 unit stack.  Looks like the IJA has relocated to a nearby base to replenish after operations.  So I launched sporatic ground attacks to slow his reorganization.

NW of Changsha the 60 unit jap stack cleared the hex but did not move north-probably because of crosscountry supply. Now as you can see the china death star is moving back to the SW.

The equvalant of 3 infantry divisions and parts are at pearl. Would be bad to lose them. Fragments of all have been removed, but still a long time to rebuild. End game will tell me if I was justified.

Status: offline 		It is a sad statement that 1dec42 I am concerned about the west coast.  I recognize the importance of keeping the IJN off balance w/ some offensive action(which is not occurring).  Continued current and previous recon by long range sub air has caused me earlier to move all ap/ak that can be upgraded off map for safekeeping. 

In 14 days 3 more cve's will arrive.  If I dont lose any carriers between now and then I will have 6 cve's and the wasp available for duty.  I am looking at the pilot training and the task organization for the cve's.  My options are
1. to replace the VRF air w/ marine air.  
2.  train the current vrf air up to 65nb and place these units on the available cve's.
3.  Use the air off the new cve's for the next group of arrivals.

I will probably go w/ a combination of 2. and 3.

I do wonder what the air power projection capability and the task force set should be. 
Rules state allies have a problem w/ greater than 2 carriers per task force untill 44?
So if all cv capable fighter planes get into the same hex I would have a defense of 100 fightrs @60% CAP.

I could go w. marine air which only has 18 planes base.  this would allow me to split a tbf sqn and place one sub group on each cv.

Too much heat for me. Did try to slip one AK into LA but a sub nailed it.

Thanks, I am getting pounded in China. I now regret changing the beginning house rules to "no rules" as the japs are running amuk in China. I will need to figure a way to releive pressure on the chinese. Alot of CAF units I moved to India for air training.

My heart wants to go "full ahead" against FatR but my mind says allies have taken a beating and I need to refurbish the fleet before another go.

Note w/ all the kills by the Spit it has yet to lose a plane.
