The small carriers are heading NW away from Ambonia in an attempt to cut of allied forces scuttling around Borneo and Java. A small invasion of Ambonia gets quite a lot of attention as I got heavy surface units that I don't want to send to Java/Borneo without aircover. The initial landing force turns out to be inadequate to capture the base, so heavy bombardment attacks takes place until the South Seas attachment (Yes, the one that evil Kiwi almost sent to the bottom;) and another NLF unit can be unloaded. The Allied carriers have not been spotted, and are probably in some Oz base refitting their airgroups. (A sub screen is still in place in the corridor between NG and Oz though) The KB is heading west, and Wobbly is worried because he hasn't spotted them resently. Perhaps I can wreck havoc on shipping around New Zealand, Fiji and Oz? Will depend on how much I need em in other theaters. Troops heading for Clark Field repells a counterattack, and in another day and two, 150000 troops will commence deliberate attacks. (Even my divisions march at different pace, making it so hard to coordinate their advance.) Cagayen and Brunei have been captured, and Dutch bombers are busy bombing the oil facilities in the latter. Air ubits will soon be in place to prevent this. The forces defending Brunei had nowhere to retreat to, and I thought they would surrender as I had captured the bases in the vicinity. This was not the case though...annoying to have enemy troops marching around in the wilderness Most of the Allied forces north of Singapore are not isolated at Georgetown and Taipeng. Nells sank 2 msw's heading towards Georgetown? I'm suspecting an allied evacuation attempt. 2 destroyers have been dispatched immediately, while stronger forces are sent from Saigon. Zero's and Betty's are now stationed in Tavoy, south of Rangoon. Hopefully I will bag both allied ships and troops. Weather is again my enemy, nothing but heavy rains and t-storms. (see map below)
