Coming to the close of the second week of June. Currently I've lost 1 s class, 2 transports and an oiler. IJN sunk is one sub 6 destroyers and 10 transports and 6+ of the smaller utilities.

I've heavily reinforced Gili and PM with men and AC. And just received 2 carriers from Pearl which brings my operational total to 2.

The IJN just made his first attempt at the lower NG penisula after taking Lunga at the beginning of the game. He formed 2 CV TFs and used one each to strike PM and Gili. His plan worked pretty well except for his entry/retreat path. Instead of crossing directly across to Rabul, they went back via the crossing between NG and NB. This allowed PM to repel the strike from only one TF as the first had moved out of range and concentrated my return strike on the same one. As such I put 6 hits on the CVL and 2 on the CV.

IJN also started running a bombard TF from Shortland to Gili. My newly formed CV TF put 8 hits in the Mutsu and bounced 1 of the Yamato.

With such a limited CV pool as the allies early in the war, is my being able to force IJN ships back to Tokyo this early in the game going to be sufficient to win or do I need to be [attempting to] finishing these off now?

Every ship not in Theater is one less you have to worry about messing with your plans.

Take the easy opportunities. Avoid CV-CV battles if you can avoid them. Attriting uncovered bombardment groups is good, sinking transports here and there is good. Make the IJN bleed for their victories.

I love it when a plan comes together.
