Having never made it this far i did not realize how difficult it is to empty Palembang,Medan,Miri,Tarakan,Balikpapan of fuel!! It keeps pooling up! I already have every TK working on it. I'll have to use my AOs too. And my AKs?

Meh, fuel is not a problem. If there is too much of it, turn off local refineries.
Just send some large ships there with empty fuel tanks. Disband them in port and refuel. BBs/CVs are best. You can also use large xAKs for this. Empty their fuel tanks by moving fuel into DDs or something, and reroute slightly during return trip to Japan.
You can also fill AOs while disbanded. That way, Pier Size is not a problem for fuel loading.

I like that idea about filling up other ships and disbanding AOs there to fill.

I've had Pago Pago isolated for about 3 months. This might have been an attempt to resupply? I've got nearby Savaii built up to a size 2 AF and might just go to size 4 and base Nells and an extra Air HQ that is coming. I'm not sure i could really take Pago Pago (Of if I should at this point?)

Status: offline 		You won't lose much attacking the Chinese with tanks but you may want to have at least a mixed brigade there for defense in case the Chinese get frisky. Bomb the unit with as many different strikes as is possible to use up the supplies, keep the fatigue and disruption up. Use different bases, different types of bombers, and different altitudes to do so. Even fighters carrying bombs will work but keep their altitude up so they are less likely to get shot down. Even Nates will work at Normal range.

According to rules, LRCAP over enemy base increase chance of damage during landing for enemy planes in that Base.You might try to put some ZEROs over there.

I'll try to get a brigade up there in case.
I have been bombing with everything i have up there before each attack. I just didn't list them all because frankly they didn't look impressive at all and there were no defending AA or A/C.

Thanks. I have been sweeping with 100+ Tojo IIcs before all attacks and they haven't encountered anything. I just didn't post the attacks because they were totally uneventful.
