Ironhide In the air we have unleashed Ironhide to take Cairns, as some of the land forces reach Cairns. In the past we have only swept for a day at a time. This time we are going to sweep until we secure complete control of the air and for the First time the P-38's are committed. Next Turn the bombers switch to the "day" and some of the fighters switch to escort. As some added fun two Navy DB ACU's and one Marine DB ACU will be added to the mix to go after the ships. We might take some losses but the hope is that with simply more air units in theater he can't pull enough reinforcements to fight by day four or five. ------- Night Air attack on Cairns , at 92,140 Weather in hex: Thunderstorms Raid spotted at 15 NM, estimated altitude 18,000 feet.
