How about an air base on Catalina to shut down LA and San Diego. The Arries would have to attack with unrestricted units to clear Catalina. Not sure where Japan-mens ships would get suppries.

But would the emergency reinforcements be restricted? i.e. otherwise a supply drain and a material/armaments drain as they get up to full speed?

Landing at Naga goes sluggishry. Curiousry, the SNLF stays on the boats while the air support troops happiry disembark.
I think we will have to suspend landing for a day lest one of the USN cruisers shows up before adequate surface forces arrive.
Probabry the security forces with the ground support troops can take the base tomorrow.

More likely toward Batavia.

Kaga still has half her torpedo loadout.

Status: offline 		Another potential escape route for PoW is out to the Indian Ocean via the strait between Java and Sumatra. However, after 5 or 6 bomb hits, PoW may be slowed. Quite an intersting situation.

What results have people had with a 2nd day of attacks at Pearl?

I am leaning toward allowing the KB to be spotted headed westward then shaking the tail and head SSW to be used as the hammer as we try to bait in the USN carriers to go after transports now headed to Noumea, Fiji, Pago Pago and Canton.

Atacks at Kendari, Naga and Rabaul tomorrow.
