High Command screws up, with Zeroes ordered to Chungking or base defense instead sweeping the Changsha pocket, and too low. They get jumped by Flying Tigers and dived on. The first Sentai does ok, losing 2-1 ratio of planes, but the second squadron gets decimated...they were rookie pilots that were supposed to provide base CAP. Heads will roll in high command...

But what does this mean for all the bombers headed to Chungking?

The Navy bombers, with the greatest distance to fly, strike first. Thankfully, some Oscar pilots accompanied them...because the local Chinese undergoing training decide to intervene.

Later in the day the Sally bombers strike too. Over 300 of Japan's heaviest bombers strike.

Tomorrow will bomb ABDA troops in open on Malaya and Sumatra.

Will use my float fighters to attempt to whittle down Allied ASW and Naval Search around Singers.

Plus, there are 50+ in the pools.

Every single surface engagement I have has under performed this game. Not sure exactly what I am doing wrong.

Status: offline 		I have let the kb be spotted here for several days, and it drew the subs...can't really say like a moth to the flames...

but there are six ASW task forces patrolling, freshly laid minefields, KB on ASW, land based air on ASW, float planes on night search.

A very poor use of the KB in June of 42, but I had my reasons...

as a strike against Singers 300 fighters was called off.
