Hmm. Japanese division at Tavoy. I think Rob expects allies to withdraw but instead he will have full fight on his hands soon enough.
Philippines
This seems to be one massive operation for Japanese army. Look at the size of this transport TF at San Marcelino.

Ouch! Allthough what can you expect from the death start itself. The good news is that Rob needs reorganize his CV Fleet once the KB reaches port. (4+4 CV houserule per hex)
Baby KB seems to be stationed near Mindanao at the moment.
Allthough not all was bad news. I caused Rob some heart beating hoperfully when Dutch PT Boats suprised KB at night.

I think I propably sunk 2 more enemy DD's and damaged couple other. This cannot be confirmed though before I get the actual turn.
Here is the screenshot from the duel between KB and Dutch PT crews.
