Here is a summary of the last 3 turns
AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 06/04/42
A large air strike against Lucknow succeeds in bombing the air field, enemy losses are
light to medium while the escorting Zeros suffers heavily. 14 are lost, a worrying development - but
mostly a result of green replacements.
Strikes against the airfield at Colombo destroyes several CAP fighters and a few bombers on the ground.

Day Air attack on TF at 11,27
Unfortunately a few Beuforts manage to avoit the LRCAP and puts a torpedo into the BB Hyuga returning

Close to 50 enemy transports were hit in these 3 days!
Unfortunately Wobbly got weather on his side as it prevents my vastly increased LRCAP to
escort the Hyuga into port, 12 Beauforts managed to put another torpedo into her. Damage in port is
46, she will join her sister at the repair yard for 6-12 months
The Kaga has almost exhausted her supply of aviation fuel and will soon had back to port to replenish after
striking another few transports tomorrow.
A division and engineer regiment shock attacks an Indian Division on the railroad south of Bombay.
They're heavily repulsed and suffers a shocking 3400 casualties! We have to wait for reinforcements before
clearing the rail.
In the South Pacific enemy tf's are again spotted at Lunga and heading west in the Coral Sea. More mines are laid
at Lae, Rabaul, Shortland and Kwajalein and more troops are unloaded at Truk.
In 1-2 days the bombardment groups will hit Tarawa!

RE: HMS Illustrious sunk in the Indian Ocean! - 
Unfortunately my dd's didn't manage to torpedo the old hulk. I must assume that the rest of the bb's are also on their way - so Operation Finalize has been ordered:
