Home Islands west. At Kumamoto another size of airfield built, now 6 + 2%. A troop convoy just arrived in the harbor and two more to arrive tonight, one of them a full division. Takamatsu has built the airfield complex to size 8, doubling air support and allowing us to bring in another 4 fighter squadrons. Tomorrow 4x P-47D25 and 3x P-47N squadrons will join the Hiroshima/Kure sweepers, plus 2x more P-47N squadrons from Kochi.

All of the armored units, including the two that just arrived, will speed to the SE to impede enemy movement. The division must remain as garrison (and has only about enough AV to do the job: 259 vs 240), but there are two more divisions on the way, and when the first of them catch up to the armor attacks will commence to clear that hex.
Nagasaki/Sasebo defenders had 412 AV yesterday.

Today's results were poor odds compared to expectations, possibly due to so many air strikes diverting to sweeper duties over Hiroshima/Kure. They just couldn't let the fighters have all the fun. The infantry and armor which attacked - all but one unit of each - are highly disrupted and must rest to recover. The infantry and armor unit that rested today will attack tomorrow. All the relevant air groups have been retasked (many already did hit the right target) and so should ease the way.
