I get some small jabs in here and there. With the Japanese completely ignoring Luzon I can sortie small TFs from Manila. Sadly this convoy was empty but everything helps.

The Japanese land unopposed at Miri, Singkawang and Kuching. Singapore is now isolated and will fall in the first attack. MKB has disappeared toward Badeldaob. There is a huge SCTF at Manado. I suspect this is CA TF that covered the Jolo landings. Its a shame the PoW TF arn´t in range.
The Kongos are most likely covering the Singkawang landings. There are big holes in the the Japanese cover right now. I´m trying to get more combat ships into the South China Sea. Since there is loads of fuel at Manila I can use full speed runs to get them in there.

Hollandia falls to Japanese hands. Not sure why he lands there of all places and not go straight for Rabaul?
