This will be the last turn played with the beta we currently know and love. Next turn will be an alpha test of the beta under development to address the night bombing exploit.
I have a BB-led heavy SAG hanging out off Portland Roads with LRCAP on call. It's a deliberate Betty/Nell trap.
33 B-24s hit Rangoon at night, reportedly killing two Tonies (actually none) and four Helens (actually five).
Allied air losses: 7; Japanese: 12.
That's all for the night action. That's good shooting.
Three tank division equivalents try to overrun a British corps south of Toungoo. The shock attack produces 2-1 odds, nil damage for the Japanese, 3100 Indian casualties, and a retreat. Why bother fixing air and naval when land operations are so broken?

If you remember my whining from the beginning of the year, the outcome of the land combat engine is almost the reverse of what actually occurred. That is, recorded game casualty results populate the part of outcome space that you almost never see outcomes in actual battle data--and vice versa.
