9th-10th July -44
After the Turkey shoot over Rangoon things quiet down.
Thrym
As expected Waigeo falls instantly on the 9th!

So this means that even if Sorong becomes a drawn out affair we can move forward. Due to the fact that KB was spotted again completely out of position between Wake and Marianas  I decided to instantly reload one of the Amphibs with BFs and Engineers for Waigeo. I also have two LST TFs picking up more arty for Sorong and Noemfoor. This will be a small operation in itself.
-Deliver BFs to Waigo
-Deliver Arty to Sorong
-More Naval bombardment of Sorong
After that I will try the first deliberate attack of Sorong. Fingers crossed the Tanks and HQ prepp will make it quick work.
Following a hunch I exchanged A. Noble of the 2nd Marine division. This was the result.

Attacker: leaders(+) This is a worse leader then Noble! Bug?
Japanese ground losses:
1607 casualties reported

Non Combat: 77 destroyed, 0 disabled
Engineers: 11 destroyed, 0 disabled
Guns lost 19 (15 destroyed, 4 disabled)
Units retreated 5
Allied ground losses:
106 casualties reported
Squads: 0 destroyed, 21 disabled
Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled
Engineers: 0 destroyed, 5 disabled
Guns lost 5 (1 destroyed, 4 disabled)
I´m starting to think something might be bugged with Noble? Should I post in the tech support?
Now I only need to secure Noemfoor to complete phase 1 of Thrym! The 4Es will lend a hand here and I hope the extra arty will help out. Troops are recovering a lot better now that I landed more support. Fatigue is down under 20 and disruption is completely gone!
New Guinea
Frantic shipping of troops, supply and fuel. I have some 200 xAKs and xAPs hauling stuff forward.
Aitape finally fell!

Just moving in a small BF with an infantry Battalion for protection. I thought Erik would sucide his troops but it looks like they are moving towards Vanimo. I have an ID at Wewak that will attack shortly. Hollandia and Vanimo will be completely bypassed.
Burma
Erik is moving a lot of troops South. Perhaps he has finally realised just how exposed he is in the DEI and Philippines. I don´t wan´t him to move out too much so I´m going to start shifting troops fast. I´ll leave 2000 AV at his blocking position while shifting the best troops East and firstly secure Toungoo and then start flanking east down towards Thailand. Hopefully supply won´t be a problem. This gives me a lot more room to maneuver and Erik will either have to withdraw into Thailand or risk getting everything around Rangoon cut off. I´ve started pumping up the Supply at Ramree again. I want to try and fill up central Burma with more supply. I currently have someting like 400.000 supply in Burma but most is at Ramree (100k) and Prome (200k). I will try and get some 500k into central Burma alone to help supply my main stack as it moves E/SE.
KB
I wonder what Erik saw here? I didn´t get any DL on any of my TFs but he moved deeper into the Pacific.
