Subs
3 attacks at Kendari against, TK, DD and APD no hits, no bangs :(
We detect a lot more Japanese subs this turn, off the West Coast and nth of Suva. A change in exe.
Burma
Shwebo falls to the 7th Aus Div Cav Regt.
Cox's Bazar expands airfield to size 8
Otherwise very quiet as we rest our airpower.
DEI
All quiet apart from the shipping noted at Kendari.
SWPAC
We really trash Hollianda!

But our forces at Wau are taking a beating, fortunately they are focussing on the ground troops, and the airfield is almost at level 2... But I need to get more fighters in here. While my troops are being hurt I estimate air losses are about equal... not good but sustainable in the short term.
They still haven't detected the Bde advancing on Buna, that may change next turn and they may change targets from Wau... but the Bde should cope and take Buna.
An air attack on Gasmata indicates an SNLF coy is based there... it got roughed up by Dutch B-25.
SOPAC
Efate makes a level 2 airfield and is now fully suitable for air transfers.
NORPAC
It looks like all the Japanese TF have retired.
Our air flies un molested hitting the 21st Special Base Force and the 19th Div for light casulties, I will move in more bombers next turn (may bring in some B-17, I envisage B-17 taking off, doing a circuit, droping its load, landing and rearming!
Ground bombardments cause light casulties compared to before, probably code change related.

China
The enemy are well and truly on the offensive in the centre and south. Will post a pic when we get the turn.
The new code changes appear to stop mass retreats, slowing down the offensive (2:1 attack, 1 unit retreats, next day another 2:1 attack, again only one unit retreats).
