The mistakes in my orders were due to my eagerness to get rid of the turn, Lowpe is right about that 
One of the these mistakes is revealed in this report (mini KB failure to combine). The other one will be made clear very soon.
Central Pacific:
- A midget sub sinks BB Tennessee with a single torpedo. Magazine explosion.
- The damage from the 5 committed carriers (KB minus Kaga) is spread evenly among the other 7 battleships. Only BB Maryland might be marginally operational. Three cruisers and one destroyer are also damaged. The airfield is hit pretty hard.
- A transport TF carrying two SNFL units ends up 10 hexes west of Midway. These transports can cover the distance tomorrow and land on the evening. KB is potentially one full speed run away from covering the landing.

Malaya:
- Mersing gambit on Dec 8th. Transport TFs carrying 5 divisions end up 6 hexes diretly east from Mersing. This is one of the two main features of Japan's Phase I offensive. The goal is the rapid capture of Singapore.
- Mini KB was tasked with sinking Force Z, after making a full speed run to the Singkaang area. Zuiho, Hosho and Chiyoda failed to merge with Kaga (this was the first cock up in my orders). As a result, naval search suffered. The lone Kaga launched its DB group and sunk CL Dragon. No sign of Force Z.
- Singora, Patani and Kota Bharu get one regiment each.
- Singapore is sweeped by Zeros and then attacked by 81 bombers. 6 Buffalos destroyed in the air, the airfield remains operational in the afternoon. Kuantan and Georgetown airfields attacked by IJAAF.
-The afternoon allied naval strikes are dealt with with ease.
