Status: offline 		I don't think they are planning to be aggressive in the SOPAC area. All indications point to a heavy effort to close out the DEI and western Australia quick. Notice the armor regiments landed at Darwin and I maybe one at Broome. Those are units they would need to go after India I think, so the whole India gambit MAY be off the table with a big push on Western Australia potentially on the books (taking Ceylon and eastern Inida however is a real threat). I am reinforcing Diego Garcia with a CD unit and a Bde, as well as moving Bdes to eastern India and looking to land forces at Akyab given I think it will be too late to get them into Rangoon.

I am planning to send an Aussie division from Aden to Perth in the coming week. I am moving forces to deal with the threat, but recommend we move a US Division and some BFs to Australia ASAP given the low activity in SOPAC and high liklihood of action in Australia. Need a BF at PM. Will finish unloading the CD there in the next turn or two, so am short support and AV support.

The 3rd AVG is due in Bombay in 3 days, so by the 5th day there should be enough P-40Es to upgrade. That will release 13 H-81s to reconstitute your boys in Chungking for the time being.

Status: offline 		The Americal Division should be assembled and loading at SF on the next turn. Will buy the last Regiment to make them all in the Pacific HQ. It will be initially heading to Noumea and by the time it gets there we can send it on to Brisbane or Sydney if necessary. If we want it to start planning for a different location, I need to know before I start loading it. It will be on a 20+ kt TF to get there quickly.

With just six aircraft in the 2nd AVG we should be able to buy it out cheaply. I will confirm that when I get the turn back and let you know. 13 airframes are not going to be enough in the long run.

Like to place some subs between it at their base.

As for sub deployment here are some areas to look at in the Celebes Sea

Status: offline 		It is only a stop gap measure with the H-81s.

Intent is to get you with all three AVG squadrons. And it will take time to both accumulate airframes for conversion and support operations.

Need to be judicious with the P-40Es and not "burn through them" as we need to use P-40Es in Australia. Can't sustain the loss rate wiith them that we have had with the H-81s. (56 A2A and 24 ops in a little over a month).

Pretty quit on my end.

Trying to place some subs in the choke points of the DEI to get lucky on a capital ship.

Pretty soon, we will have 4 USN carriers in the SoPac. I see Harvey has sortied his carriers from Colombo. We have 5 fleet carriers out and about now...

Status: offline 		NoPac – Another 14k fuel delivering to Kodiak, when TF 397 returns to Seattle it will take fuel to Seward as Dutch is near capacity. Supplies, the 42nd Const. Bde and an AVD are on the way to Dutch. This should boost the capacity there. Shuttle supplying the small bases up and down the AK/CA coast. ASW patrols harassing I boats and even scoring some hits.

USA – March Field gets another aviation unit. We are upgrading the Airfield there. Should be a good place to train pilots! ;) We now have the BB Mississippi available at San Fran. She is set for an upgrade in just over four months. If we don’t need her somewhere else, I recommend we keep her here until we upgrade her. We also have the Warspite here also. Harvey, what do you want to do with her?
- 8th PG/HQ is moving to SF to join the rest of the group. They will be ready to load and head out with the Americal Division.
- BB Colorado is also available at Seattle, going to move her to SF to join her sister escorted by a Canadian KV which will then take some xAKLs back to Seattle for use in NoPac.
- TF99 just southwest of LA about 9 hexes is a multi destination TF. It has units for Suva, Noumea, and Port Moresby. It’s plot is set to go by each of them on the way to PM. The plan is to split off the minimal ships to go to each respective port as the main TF passes by. Maximizes our escorts!

China – Just waiting for the axe to fall here. Moving units out of the open into the woods where I can. This will improve our chances.

Pago-Pago – TF 316 is collecting ships as they empty and will return to LA with them. Should be done tomorrow and on its way. Tankers need to empty as they don’t hold enough to spoil on the beach. They will bunch together for the trip back to LA as they are 18 kts and don’t need to be in a slow convoy like the xAKs that will be leaving in a day or two. She made a level 3 port which will help with our unloading in the future.

ANZAC resource convoys are working as planned. A 99k convoy is 11 days out of Sydney.

Darwin was capture, and Singapore was attacked pretty hard.

CVs were moved west to just SE of Milne Bay areaish.. 15 hexes from Rabaul. Some AKs heading SW of of Rabaul..and KB appears to be heading east out of Darwin.. will it come down through Horn Isl... three subs are blocking the strait, wouldn't mind a shot at any passing CV. Cruiser SAG is 5+ hexes east of the CVs ready to head off any forward invasion fleet that lacks air cover, or is outside of the Zero ex range, and screening carriers. Harvey's SAG is in with the CVs as well. I'm getting ansy for a CV fight...if KB comes barking, we will turn and move out of the area as fast as possible....they very well could be coming down to start covering invasions in the Solomons now that Darwin has been captured. PM would be their next target to cover their Aus invasion...

How much dmg will those Jap BBs have from a single mine hit?

Status: offline 		SoPac -– Loading 114th Base force on two ships with a DD escorting for PM, this will be 60V when full. It is on a indirect slightly southerly course to PM.
-- Note: the Lexington TF was spotted 3/3. Need to move them back another 3-4 hexes.
-- There are two TFs south of PM that don’t have any orders. Are they targets?

West Coast -– TF 268 is the Americal Division transports. I spent the 714 PPs to build it into one unit with Pacific Fleet HQ. It is speed 4, tried to make it faster but it needed more cargo space than I could put in the fast xAPs. It should be at Noumea in 36 days or so, I have set it for Brisbane as we expect it will be needed at OZ, and it is 43 days to there.
-- Let me know when I can start using some of the PBYs in the pool for my two west coast search units. It will help with ASW efforts.
-- 22nd BG and soon the 3rd BG will be ready to go somewhere. OZ? Also, the 49th PG is available.

Panama -– SS Finback shows up with a 30 aggressive captain. Replaced him for 1 PP with a 62 aggressive commander. Hopefully he will figure out how to make the Mk14s work better…
--More ships assembling at Balboa for another convoy to the west coast.

NoPac and ANZAC –- Everything moving as it should.

Status: offline 		Every ship can be a minesweeper… once! I never… never… never… ever… take ships into a major allied port without a DMS going in first and that is after all the troops are gone.

Probably not true, but they have big holes in them! Expensive lesson, the Kongo’s are important escorts for the KB.
