Caught! 1942-02-03 Long Island, Lomblen, and Sibolga fell today. Oroquieta was invaded from the sea, Banjermasin was invaded from the air. A new minefield has been identified and is being swept at Oosthaven. The submarine resistance continues, with many attacks and some victories. This turn was Dutch sub KX tearing open xAK Ikushima Maru near Kolaka. One of several TFs dispatched to find and destroy the Imperial raiders intercepted them on the northern escape route. The raiders were no match for real warships. quote:

The defenders at Banjermasin will need help to repulse the invaders. That will be hard to come by as Imperial fighters began sweeping the skies all over Java just as they have been elsewhere. quote:

Due to fuel limitations this will likely be their only chance.
