Didn't go like i wanted to... He swept me to oblivion with his zeros! Tulagi was swept by not less than 400 A6M3s...my guys did what they could but most of those bastards were the crack KB pilots and we suffered badly (lost nearly 50 planes over Tulagi, and among them 3 Spits VIII )...my P-38s weren't coordinate over Torobika and they went in after the bombers...heavy CAP found and we lost 10 4Es, destroying 44 planes on the ground...not enough...his Helens weren't there! Now he's building up bases at a pace too fast for me to try to close them...he landed a para-unit at Thousand Bay Island...he has almost encircled me!!!! I cannot stand those sweeps...they simply destroy any ability to defend from the upcoming air bombing...even if my planes aren't shot down, they remain grounded for the next bombing raid...no matters how many fighters i manage to assemble...he has too many of them to throw at me regardless losses. His subs are encircling all the Fiji area...my CVs are trapped at Suva...today he sunk 6 transports of mine only with his dreaded subs...i spot them with my air ASW...but at night they're free to do whatever they want... My DD raid didn't catch a damned thing...all his ships fled away in time...why mines don't do the same remains a mistery to me. At Karachi he destroyed the last attempt of resistance...
