Spent the morning looking at Harvey's Supply/Fuel movements from off map and between major ports on map. In between reformatting and reloading my son's virus riddled laptop... Here are the tallies. First, the minor ports (Abadan, Bombay, Colombo, Karachi) and where they are shipping to: [image]http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z446/nashvillen/MinorPorts60DayData_zps14e90111.jpg[/image] Perth is getting 258,450 supply every 60 days from these routes. Second, the totals for Cape Town convoys: [image]http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z446/nashvillen/CapeTown60DayData_zps90d93ac9.jpg[/image] Perth is getting 352,895 supply and 55,942 fuel every 60 days from these routes. There is 227,300 cargo capacity going to Cape Town at this time which I could not determine their destination from the game data. These two images represent a total of 611,345 supply and 55,942 fuel every 60 days arriving at Perth. Add that to what is getting to Sydney from the Los Angeles we are getting 1,211,602 supply and 286,071 fuel every 60 days into Southern Oz. Is this enough for Oz? HI there is turned off, so all the fuel is available for operations. Here is a few charts of the fuel/supply situation in Oz: Sydney: [image]http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z446/nashvillen/SydneyFuelPictureT90-150_zps45d590e0.jpg[/image] Perth: [image]http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z446/nashvillen/PerthFuelPictureT90-150_zps70f9553a.jpg[/image] Australia as a region: [image]http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z446/nashvillen/AustraliaFuelPictureT90-150_zpsf6d420b5.jpg[/image] As can be seen from these charts both Fuel and Supply are trending up overall. This indicates we are, for the time being, delivering enough. As time goes on, we will need to deliver more, but for now we have enough.

6 MAY 1942 CONUS: 221st USN BF arrives at San Francisco. They are a restricted unit. Sending them to Ogden to get that base to size 8. 2nd Marine EAB arrives at San Diego. They are a restricted unit. Sending them to Mojave to build that base up. EC2 Zachary Taylor is sent from Portland to San Francisco. AM Courtnenay will meet her and escort her in. TF 114 is loaded with supplies at Seattle for Cold Bay. 4 F-4 airframes freed up by upgrading 9th PS to O-47As. 1 showed up as available immediately for replacements in OZ. CANAL ZONE: Nothing to do here. NOPAC: Nothing to do here. CENTPAC: SS Grayback is ready at Midway and will relieve SS Greenling for upgrade patrolling of the south of Shikoku between the entrances to both Kobe and Hiroshima. TF162 stops unloading at Midway and starts loading 804th EAB for transport to Pago Pago. SOPAC: DDs at Funafuti directed to join the SCTF at Luganville after refueling. AO is directed to Ambrym to remain on station there for use as the situation develops. Enterprise is on station 250 miles East of Townsville, waiting on the troop movement. VF-6 set to 50 CAP and left on Escort. This will leave 18 F4F-4s on CAP and the rest available for escort duties to any strikes. They only have a range of 6, so DBs set to range 6. The TBs are only range 5, for now, until there is enough TBFs in the pool to upgrade. There have been 6 produced in the first week of May, so, there should be enough sometime after the 15th. ANZAC: Raider BN set to Deliberate Attack just East of PM. DD Cushing, going through AAA upgrades at Brisbane, is moved from Shipyard to Pier Side. CHINA: Moved some more air units in the Mongolia part of China south. RUSSIA: Nothing to do here.

7 MAY 42 Submarine Action: I-7 puts a torpedo into the Tennessee just off of PM. Must have been bad enough for her to not participate in the upcoming bombardment. Thresher duds on a sub chaser just south of Rabaul. I-9 puts three torpedos into xAK Steel Worker in two attacks West of Noumea. She sinks. I-154 hits the TK Marina with two torpedoes with reports of her severely damaged off of the south tip of India. She later sinks. I-21 misses on the AD Rigel at Pago Pago. The PC escorting gets some licks in. S-47 finds some LBs, cannot find a solution and takes some hits from the escorting PB. Surface Action: California and escorts bombard PM doing minimal casualties. Air Action: Kittyhawks sweep Buna a couple of times, one Zero rises to defend with no damage to either side. Sallys bomb Bandoeng for some casualties. Sallys bomb a BF near Puerto Princesa for a couple aircraft damaged. Sallys bomb 73rd PA Inf Rgt at Bacolod for some casualties. B-17s bomb Buna for 3 Airbase, 7 Runway, and 1 port hits. Ground Action: Attack at Bandoeng by the Japanese causes fort level to drop and about 1000 casualties for us and just over 2000 for them. East of PM the Japanese bombard our Raiders, who, then in turn attack for significant casualties to the Japanese (127 to them, and just 15 to us). Need to keep that up! Tjilatjap is bombarded for slight casualties to the Japanese.

8 MAY 1942 CONUS: ACM Alder is sent from Seattle to Anchorage to relieve the longer range ACM there for duties elsewhere in the Pacific. Put four more YPs into the yard at San Francisco for conversion into ACMs. 5th USN SeaBees arrives at Port Hueneme. Sending them to LA to finish the port upgrades there. Then we can think about sending them to points further west. 2xACM moved to LA to join the next convoy to Pago Pago for use further West. CANAL ZONE: Nothing to do here. NOPAC: Loading 108th USN BF from Nome to take it to Cold Bay. ACM YP-401 is moved from Juneau to Kodiak to relieve the longer range ACM there for duties elsewhere in the Pacific. CENTPAC: SS Flying Fish Arrives at Midway. Set to relieve Finback on patrol south of Formosa. Finback is called back to Midway for her 4/42 upgrade. VMSB-234 arrives at Pearl. Set to standard training regimen. SOPAC: Laying another 33 mines at Pago Pago, that will put it up to 150, which is what the one ACM there will support. Loading new tenders at Pago Pago. It will take a couple of days to fully load them, but should allow Pago Pago to rearm BBs. (3x4200 and 1x5400). We can move these up to Luganville after it develops more to make it a forward arming base for ships. Atlanta passed through Pago Pago, refueling as she went with her escort. She will join the Big E group in three days. ANZAC: Loaded tenders at Brisbane. The ADs where low in torpedoes and 5” ammo! Set the Raider BN to deliberate attack one more time. Their fatigue and disruption and starting to climb. We need to keep an eye on that, they did well yesterday, and, hopefully they will get in a few more licks on the NGU and SNLF Coy in their hex. CHINA: Minor adjustments here. RUSSIA: Nothing to do here.

10 MAY 42 CONUS: 139th USA BF and 1st USMC EAB are loaded up at San Francisco for Pago Pago. CM Keokuk arrives at Mare Island with 100 Mk16 mines onboard. Set to join the Transport TF at San Francisco for transit to Pago Pago. 7th BG/11 BS finally arrives at San Francisco and is withdrawn, satisfying that withdraw requirement. CANAL ZONE: Nothing to do here. NOPAC: ACM Abatis is sent from Kodiak to Pearl. Her replacement arrives tomorrow to continue maintenance on the minefield there. Sure the crew will like the warmer waters they are going to, maybe even have some more shellbacks. CENTPAC: Canberra is in the yards at Pearl, will be ready in less than a month. Halibut arrives at Midway, sent on patrol southwest of the home islands Gato finishes her upgrade and is assigned to patrol off of the south coast of China in the Formosa strait. 6 SOPAC CA Chester, CL Detraoit and DDs Dunlap and Porter are sent to Pearl. Three of them are damaged and one has an ASW of 6. They have minimal float damage so are left at mission speed and will make 25 knots. They should be there in 8-9 days. Split the remaining surface assets here into two SCTFs, one with 3 CAs will follow the APDs into Ndeni with the port service unit. Those APDs have the 7 hex range F4’s LRCAPing them all the way into Ndeni. Hopefully the DMS will clear the rest of the mines by the time the rest of the party arrives at Ndeni. It cleared 22 mines previously and should clear most of the rest the next night. This port svc unit will assist in unloading of everything else, including the two xAKs set to arrive in two days with 7000 supplies. This TF is LRCAPed by the P39s, which should be good for the next day. This should cover all our bases with the Rock-Paper-Scissor effect the Japanese have been applying here. ANZAC: Seven more Artillery units are delivered to Brisbane. Harvey, use them where you need them for now. But we will need them later for other uses in the island hopping. They are currently training for PM. CHINA: AVG/1st Sqn moves to Ledo, next move to Chengtu. RUSSIA: 248 ShAD/291 ShAP arrives at Kraznoyarsk. This is an IL-2 squadron. Standard training regimen applied.

Busy day, but I think we came out better... What does the readership think? 10 MAY 1942 Submarine Actions: S-39 is attacked at Tulagi for minimal damage. I-154 is attacked twice off of the south end of India for two hits. I-19 is driven off at Pago Pago, four times for one hit. Grouper contacts some ASW assets for no damage to either side. I-24 is sighted at Ndeni, hit, and driven off. I-24 is later attacked and set on fire by APD Kane. Pollack puts 2 torpedoes on Ise North of Tulagi, one penetrates belt armor for heavy damage! One duds. No damage to Pollack. Drum is sighted off of Korea and does no damage. Permit launches two torpedoes at some PB ASW ships for no damage to either side. Surface Actions: The 3xCA, CL, 7xDD TF engages the Japanese 2xCA, 2xCL, 5xDD TF at Ndeni. We lose the Northampton and 2xDDs to torpedoes. They lose 2xDD, but also have heavy damage/fires on one CA, and one CL. The other CA and CL appear to be significantly damaged also. A draw, which this appears to be is a win for us, as it drives one part of the Rock-Paper-Scissors they have been using against us. 2xCL, 4xDD bombard Kolaka for minimal damage. Air Actions: Buna is swept by 11 P40Bs, 3 Zeros rise and no damage is done to either side. Also, later by 2 more P40Bs for no opposition. Bandoeng is bombed twice by 56 Sally’s total for minimal damage. Iloilo is bombed by 15 Sally’s for some facility damage. Cebu is bombed by 12 Sally’s for some facility damage. Akyab is bombed by 16 Wellingtons and 19 B17Es for 5 airbase, 3 supply, 21 runway, 1 port, and 1 port supply hits. Buna is bombed by 27 B17Es for 2 airbase, and 10 runway hits. The Marine Raiders are sent some air support, 7 P40Es and 3xB26s. 4 Zero’s show up to play. 1 Zero lost to 2 P40s lost. No damage to ground forces. Ground Actions: Bandoeng is deliberately attacked for almost 1200 casualties for the Japanese and about half the number of casualties for the Allied forces. Bombardment at PM yields 89 Japanese casualties for 60 of our own. SigInt of Note: Radio transmissions detected at Lunga (114,138).

11 MAY 1942 CONUS: A bunch of ACMs are done with upgrades, replacing the long range ACMs at ports in CONUS and Canada with the new short range ACMs. Sending the rest of the short range ACMs along with the long range ACMs to Pearl for further assignment. This is 16 ACMs that will be ready for assignments all over the pacific theater. Harvey, if you have a place you need some, let me know. CANAL ZONE: SS Herring arrives at Balboa. Her Captain is of good stock and should do well. Sent her onto Midway for further assignment. NOPAC: Nothing to do here. CENTPAC: Loading 20k fuel for Pago Pago. Reviewed upgrades of ships here and set some to upgrade that are overdue. SOPAC: Last night’s combat at Ndeni punched the Japanese in the nose with their vaunted night combat. The radar upgrades have paid off. Our ships detected the Japanese a full 6000 yards sooner than the physical detection by Mk1 eyeballs. The mines are cleared. The port svc unit got ashore safely. Next is the cargo ships tonight and the other Cruiser SCTF is going to cover this. 1st and 2nd SeeBees tasked with building the intermediate airbase at Vanua Lava to help cover Ndeni. Loaded on small (less than 6k tons) transports and set to unload amphibiously there in a week. They will have about 12k supplies with them to start building a small port and the airfield there. Once they get started we will move V support there for a squadron of fighters to operate from there. Pennsylvania’s damage control teams are doing a great job lowering her system damage and even patching some float damage. If this keeps up, may try her at mission speed for a short time to see if the repairs hold up. Couldn’t do that with Japanese ships! Moving 2xAKEs to Luganville from Pago Pago to assist in rearming warships. Also, a cargo TF is leaving Pago Pago with 21,920 supplies for Luganville. Need to do several shuttles of this to build Luganville up some more and we have plenty of supplies at Pago Pago. Time to shift some of that forward. Luganville will soon have unlimited capacity. ANZAC: S-35 is ready for patrol duties. Set her home port to Noumea, and set her to loiter at Lunga/Tulagi/Shortlands for three days at a time. This should give us an idea of what is going into and out of these bases and maybe even pick up a cargo ship every now and then. Set Dolphin to pierside at Sydney. We need to get Nevada patched up enough to ship her to Pearl. Then clear the yard there for other smaller ships like the Dolphin. Cachalot is set for Townsville to be her home port and given a patrol area along the North shore of New Britain from just North of Rabaul to just North of Lae. CHINA: Minor adjustments here. RUSSIA: Nothing to do here.

12 MAY 42 CONUS: Sending APD Rathbourne to Balboa to perform escort duties. CANAL ZONE: Nothing to do here. NOPAC: North Pacific HQ arrives at Dutch and our support levels are sufficient there now. 108th USN BF starts to unload at Cold Bay. Set her to expand Airfield, Port, and forts. Hopefully they will be fully unloaded when the 10k supplies arrive. CENTPAC: Sending all the small xAKLs to Pago Pago. Need them more there than in CENTPAC. They are taking 5k fuel from Pearl with them while they are going that direction. SOPAC Other CA TF got two hexes… drat. Sending them back to Luganville to pick up Atlanta and then back to Ndeni with them. Maybe catch Cruisers coming back. Chicago has 35 fires. We may have to send her to Brisbane to fix some systems before sending her to Pearl. Pago Pago forms up another small cargo TF for Ndeni. We need to get something through. Suva also does the same. ANZAC: Raider BN disruption is below 10, another Direct attack this turn. Reassigning the 2xAR at Brisbane to send them to Luganville since we are currently not using them to get the Chicago ready for travel. Assigned an ASW 6 escort. It will take them four days to get there. CHINA Moved more air units towards Central China highlands. RUSSIA: Nothing to do here.

12 MAY 1942 Submarine Actions: Trusty is spotted at Akyab, but not damaged. I-162 misses CL Dauntless with four torpedoes, she takes four hits in return near Akyab. ASW attack on I-157 near Colombo for no damage. Swordfish duds on TB Tomozuru off of Kendari, return ASW ineffective. PC Reliance detects RO-62 before it attacks and drives it off of her charge for one hit. RO-64 is detected at Ndeni and is hit twice by DD Lamson. Surface Actions: Palopo is bombarded for 7 port hits. 2xCL, 4xDD Tavoy is invaded. Ketapang is invaded. Air Actions: Nine Kittyhawks jump and kill one Zero at Buna. 17 Sallys bomb Palopo for minimal damage. 15 Sallys bomb Iloilo for minimal damage. 12 Sallys bomb Cebu for minimal damage. 24 B-17s in two raids bomb Buna for 5 Airbase, 36 Runway, 5 port, 2 port supply hits, and one bomb on an xAKL at dock in the port. 22 P400s attack shipping at Buna in two separate attacks. One zero defends against one raid, destroying one P-400. The rest find three other xAKLs which they damage severely. 15 Blenheim, escorted by Hurricanes bomb Akyab for 4 Airbase, 6 supply, and 27 Runway hits. Hurricanes sweep Akyab twice, but find nothing flying but Allied aircraft… Ground Actions: Deliberate attack at Bandoeng at 1:1 reduces forts to 0 and causes 750 casualties to the Japanese and 250 casualties to the allied forces, destroying one unit. Marine Raiders attack at 1:4 and cause 166 casualties (10%) to 40 of their own (6%). Not bad for 1:4 odds. Bombardment attack at PM is 28 to 85 Japanese to Allied losses. We lost two guns.

14 MAY 42 CONUS: EC2 Robert Morris is commissioned at Alameda, sent to San Francisco to form up with the TF there. 803rd EAB arrives at San Francisco, it is a replacement unit so, only needs 1 PP to change it to Pacific Ocean Areas HQ. Set to rest and receive replacements until fully formed. 148th Inf Rgt arrives at San Francisco, set to transport to Pago Pago by adding three more xAPs to the current TF loading the BF for Pago Pago. More efficient use of escorts that way. CANAL ZONE: Nothing to do here. NOPAC: Nothing to do here. CENTPAC: Silversides has arrived at Midway and will be undergoing radar upgrade. SOPAC CA Louisville formed up with a damaged DD and an undamaged DD for the trip to Pearl from Luganville. Minimal Flt damage, so left as a Surface combat TF at Mission speed. Trip to Pearl is 8 days. Now that fuel is arriving at Pago Pago, we are sending 7k fuel to Luganville to support operations there. It is a 12 day round trip. Will keep this up as long as we have operations going on there. The replenishment TF in the Luganville area is directed to refuel the cruisers SCTF there, and then return to Ambryn. ANZAC: The Marine Raiders, after the failed Shock attack, need to receive replacements before trying again. Looks like the Japs are going to try to reinforce PM from Horn Island again. We need to watch for that. Tenders at Townsville topped off. CHINA Move some more aircraft south. Moving 3rd AVG towards Calcutta. It is worthless with just three H81s. We can upgrade it to newer fighters later. RUSSIA: 126th Rifle Division arrives at Vroshilov. Set to receive replacements and to rest to fill out support.

15 MAY 1942 Submarine Actions: DD O’Brien prosecutes, strongly, twice, I-9 SE of Townsville. Just as the O’Brien runs out of ASW ammo the sub is forced to the surface and sunk! S-47 engages a xAKL on the surface near Buna. Many shell hits, but no sinking reported. Haddock puts a torpedo onto DD Yudachi, SE of Truk, but the weapon fails to detonate. I-23 is prosecuted by AM Matai, approximately 800 miles East of Hawaii to no effect. S-47 attacks a xAKL at Buna, torpedoes fail to detonate. Surface Actions: None Air Actions: 27 B-17s raid Buna, four Zeros rise in defense, one Zero is shot down. B-17s cream Buna, doing 5 airbase, 1 supply, 20 runway, 2 port, and 2 port supply hits, along with sinking two xAKLs. 2 P-40Bs sweep Buna, shooting down one more Zero. 9 P-40Bs sweep Buna, nothing rises in defense. 12 Sallys hit Iloilo for 3 airbase and 4 runway hits. Ground Actions: Japanese bombardment at Bandoeng destroying four vehicles. Japanese deliberate attack at Myitkyina at 1:2, 600 Japanese vs. 900 Allied losses. Bombardment at PM does 25 on Japan and 37 on the Allies. SigInt of Note: 26th Air Flotilla is loaded on a Std-D Cargo class xAK moving to Exmouth.

18 MAY 42 CONUS: TF377 arrives at LA, loading 65040 fuel for Pearl. Created local minesweeping TFs at the major ports in case the IJN gets squirrely. 5th USN Construction (SeaBees) is set to Pacific Ocean HQ and moving to San Francisco for transport by fast transport to be part of the Milne Bay operation. Three days to San Francisco, an AMC and APD will get them to the Noumea in short order (at least for the Pacific, it is…), 18-20 days for a total estimated time on target of Noumea of 21-24 days. Ships with minor Major damage (less than 5 points) cycled through San Francisco repair facilities. NOPAC: Set Prince Rupert to draw more supplies, going to start supplying NOPAC from here, instead of Seattle. Set all NOPAC supply/fuel TFs to home base out of Prince Rupert. Set 108th USN BF to receive replacements, it will start to be larger and help build Cold Bay up faster. CANAL ZONE: Nothing to do here. CENTPAC: SS Gar has finished repairs. Set to patrol around the North shore of Hokkaido, as there is lots of merchant activity there along with Grouper, with a home port of Midway. USN AirSoPac arrives at Pearl, with torpedo reloads and a five hex range it will go nicely at Luganville. Sending it there by Fast Transport with APDs via Pago Pago to refuel the hungry APDs. SOPAC: Tennessee is going to be sent to Pearl for repairs from the Torpedo hit, she has 28 flt damage, all of it major. Putting her Kingfishers on ASW patrol 360. Once she gets past Noumea, will send one of her DD’s to Luganville to join the cruisers there. Per Jeff’s request and conversations with Harvey, forming up the following units for Milne Bay: 7th Marine, 112th USA BF, 176th USAAF BF, 255th USN BF, 208th Cst AA, 96th Cst AA, 97th Cst AA, and 97th FA. This is at Pago Pago. It will be loaded in two TFs, one with the assault troops, Marines, FA, and one air unit, and the rest in a follow up TF with the rest. They will have APD escorts, but will need a cruiser and some DDs if the Landing is to be “Hot”. These two TFs will go to Noumea and wait there for you guys to use them. This will take A supply TF is scheduled to arrive at Ndeni in two days, but it looks like another SCTF is heading that way south of Lunga. They will wait and see. Another one just left Suva also, and it will rendezvous with this TF, they will be 12 hexes or two days from Ndeni. Efate needs more supplies, but has a size 4 airfield and is ready to handle ground attack bombers when needed. Will be moving the two port svc units off to Luganville for the time being. The TF unloading the SeaBees at Vanua Lava is at detection 8/8, need to watch for raiders. Moving the Cruisers to that hex to cover for now and some CAP overhead. The Cruisers will have some Wildcats and the Amphibs will have some P-39s covering. ANZAC: Nevada still upgrading… CHINA: Moved some more air units further south. Gathering everything for when they start really pushing into the rough terrain. RUSSIA: Nothing to do here.

18 MAY 1942 Submarine Actions: Haddock prosecuted West of Truk to no effect. DD Phelps puts some good hits on I-19 at Vana Lava. Grouper prosecuted West of Hakodate to no effect. S-34 sighted trying to line up a convoy and is prosecuted northwest of Shortlands for some minor damage. S-35 misses a xAKL at Lunga. S-27 puts one into a xAKL at Horn Is. Heavy damage and ship was left burning. Permit duds on a PB southeast of Truk. No damage from the ASW attack. DDs find I-170 and hit her twice just east of Cooktown. S-35 does not fire on a target and is hit six times by the escorts at Lunga. Surface Actions: Bombardment by Maryland and West Virgina along with escorts at PM, 56 casualties, all disables, but that burns supply! Air Actions: Hurricanes sweep Akyab, twice, nothing rises. 57 Sallys bomb Bandoeng, 50 casualties. 18 Sallys bomb Iloilo, doing 1 airbase, 1 supply, and 4 runway hits. 6 Sallys bomb Cebu, doing 3 airbase, 1 supply, and 6 runway hits. 47 Blenheims bomb Akyab, doing 5 airbase, 1 supply, 20 runway, and 2 port hits. One Blenheim takes an un-lucky flak hit and is destroyed. 19 B-17 bomb Ramee Island, doing 4 airbase, 3 supply, and 13 runway hits. 16 Bettys bomb Ndeni, doing no damage. It appears they came from Shortlands, so that is now a level 4 base at a minimum. 27 B-17 bomb Buna in heavy storms, doing only 1 airbase, 1 runway, and 1 port hit. Zeros defend, one Zero is shot down. Ground Actions: Ruteng is invaded. Japanese Bombard at Bandoeng, doing 25 allied casualties. Japanese Bombard at Myitkyina, doing 12 allied casualties. PM Bombards doing 39 Japanese to our 33 casualties. SigInt of Note: Nothing.

NOPAC: More supplies at Cold Harbor, more engineers coming shortly. This will give us a jump route from Seattle to Midway to SOPAC to Australia for our bombers. CANAL ZONE: Nothing to do here. CENTPAC: Nothing to do here. SOPAC: Looks like the ships we saw were going to Lunga, sending one supply fleet to Ndeni. Be there in two days. ANZAC: Nevada still upgrading… 100k fuel arriving at Sydney in two days, another 94k a day behind that one. CHINA: Nothing to do here. RUSSIA: Nothing to do here.

Busy day, bad day for merchies on both sides. 19 MAY 1942 Submarine Actions: Truant is sighted and prosecuted to no effect. Twice. I-16 shoots four torps at DD Shaw, missed. Takes heavy damage from the ASW return fire. RO-64 shoots two torps at APD Colhoun, misses, Colhoun gives RO-64 8 hits with heavy damage. Surface Actions: Air Actions: Hurricane’s sweep Akyab. Nothing rises. Bettys and Zeros attack shipping at Carnarvon, twice, from Exmouth. They have torps and sink 3 xAKLs. And the AM escort 56 Sallys bomb Bandoeng, allies take 56 casualties. Blenheim’s do widespread damage to Akyab with 11 airbase, 4 supply, 34 Runway, 4 Port, 1 Port Fuel, and 1 Port supply hits. B-17s hit Horn Island, twice, doing 1 airbase, 1 supply, 9 Runway, 2 Port, and 1 Port Supply hits. B17s hit Ramree Island, doing 5 airbase, 2 supply, and 16 Runway hits. Still a carrier around, a supply convoy to Ndeni is attacked, We have Wildcat and Airacobras on patrol, they shoot down 1 zero and 1 Val, the rest get through and sink the AM escort and severely damage the two xAKs, they will probably sink. B26s attack Horn Island from PM, hitting one xAKL. Ground Actions: Large push at Bandoeng, 700 Japanese vs. 300 Allied casualties. Forts at Mytikyina are down to 0, 500 Japanese vs. 800 Allied casualties. Bombardment at PM does 82 Japanese vs. 87 Allied casualties. SigInt of Note: 22nd JAAF AF Bn is located at Billiton(52,93). (They are building this up as an interior air base.)

20 MAY 42 CONUS: 130th USAAF BF at Portland moves to Astoria to build up that base. 41st ID, and 123rd USAAF BF unpacking at Boise. Building up base there. 1st USMC FA and 5th USMC Rgt arrives at Eastern USA, sending to San Francisco for deployment to Pago Pago. The 5th is the last part of the 1st USMC Div. The rest is waiting at Pago Pago. SS Grunion arrives at Eastern USA, Captain is of good stock and sent to Cristobal. 1st FG set to withdraw. Only option is to disband. Done. NOPAC: Fuel TF at Prince Rupert, loading fuel for Seward. CANAL ZONE: Nothing to do here. CENTPAC: Nothing to do here. SOPAC: Ships docked and undocked at Pago Pago to get Milne Bay Assault force loaded. That starts today. Follow up TF loaded already. TFs to Luganville routed around potential carrier air range to the north. Took P39D replacements at Luganville, need that unit at full strength right now. Transferred 35th FS from Noumea Damaged xAK sent to Luganville. On fire, should be able to make it under cover of the Luganville AFs. ANZAC: Nevada is still upgrading. CHINA: 2nd AVG off to Ledo, one damaged aircraft left behind. RUSSIA: Nothing to do here.

Hartwig was right, very quiet... 20 MAY 1942 Submarine Actions: RO-60 is sighted at Vanua Lava and prosecuted heavily by the DDs, doing 8 hits and heavy damage. Should be enough to sink her or put her out of action for a while if she can make it back to Truk. Surface Actions: None Air Actions: Hurricanes sweep Akyab. Nothing rises. 154 Sallys bomb Changsha, they had 16 Zero, and 18 Oscar escorts. Significant damage to the air field there. 6 Sallys bomb Cebu, minimal damage. 48 Blenheim IV bomb Akyab, doing widespread damage. 30 B-17 bomb Horn Island, doing minimal damage. 34 Nicks bomb SW of Changsha, disabling 30 squads. B-26s attack the troops between PM and Buna, doing minimal damage. Keep that up Harvey, the raiders are about up to strength to start attacking again. Ground Actions: Bombardment attack at Bandoeng does no damage to either side. Deliberate attack at Myitkyina does 1000 casualties to the Japanese to 400 to the allies. Deliberate attack at Palopo does 13 casualties and the unit (32nd Nav Gsn Unit) retreats into the Jungle. Bombardment at PM does 30 Japanese to 100 allied casualties.

Jeff, there isn't much for the Combat ships to do right now except escort an amphib op NE of Luganville to build a supplemental air base there. It is under heavy air cover from Luganville, so the little CVE running around would pay dearly in airframes to attack it. Here is what I did: 21 MAY 42 CONUS: 4th and 5th SeaBees arrive at San Francisco, loading them and the 803rd EAB on an amphibious TF for Milne Bay. Routing them through Pearl and Pago Pago for fuel, and around Noumea to avoid enemy contact. It will take 25 days or so for them to get there. 76th Coast AA arrives at LA, sent to San Francisco. Disbanded 42nd BG/76th BS at Eastern USA. CS Convoy with 83k supplies loaded at LA on the way to Sydney via Pearl. A dozen low volume (3200) cargo ships that I use for moving aircraft squadrons at San Francisco are put into one supply convoy for moving 38k supply to Pearl as they are just collecting barnacles in port right now. Need more supply there, always… NOPAC: DD Walke along with BBs Idaho, New Mexico, and Mississippi sent to Seattle for their June upgrades. Cold Bay’s AF construction is up to 30% very quickly. Bring this up to four to base bombers out of here and allow for a Seattle, Cold Bay, Midway, Christmas Island, SOPAC movement of bombers. No shipping needed! CANAL ZONE: CVE Long Island arrives at Balboa, escorts on the way, will send her to San Francisco to transport/train Marine units for carrier duty. CENTPAC: ACMs arrive at Pearl, refueled and sent to Pago Pago. Damaged ships arrive at Pearl, set to repair where everything is out in 16 days or less. All their upgrades are up to date, also. Chicago’s Sys and Eng damage is starting to come down. Get the Sys to 40 or less and we will send her to Pearl for full repairs. It may take 20 days or more to get her there. SOPAC: CLAA San Juan arrives at Luganville, put in port until SCTF comes back, with all the subs around don’t want to try to send her unescorted to it. APD escort for San Juan sent back to Balboa via Pago Pago for more escort duties. ANZAC: Nevada is still upgrading. I believe she still has 10 days left on her upgrade. CHINA: 2nd AVG is in Calcutta with two airframes of the H81s. It is stuffed with recruits and will remain a training squadron until sufficient airframes are available to send it back to China. RUSSIA: Nothing to do here.

Home game tomorrow. If we get the turn before 1700 my time, I won't be able to work it until after that point. 21 MAY 1942 Submarine Actions: DD Furnizuki has some sharp eyes on it, spotted S-44 twice, but the ASW team is a little further behind the curve and has run out of DCs. No damage done. RO-61 is run over by the amphib TF and escorts on the way to PM, DD Cassin hits it once. Surface Actions: CA Kinugasa and CL Kitakami with some DDs bombard Ndeni for minimal damage. Air Actions: 146 Sallys along with Zero/Oscar escort bomb troops in the open SE of Changsa. 1st AVG has aircraft patrolling this area. 1 P40 and 1 Oscar lost, about 500 Chinese casualties. Would have been much more without the P40s present. 9 Sallys in secondary attack at same location without escort lose one Sally, to no losses on our side. 57 Sallys attack Bandoeng, doing damage to the airfield. 6 Sallys attack Cebu for minimal damage. 34 Nicks attack the same Chinese unit SE of Changsa, 2 P40s are in the area. Nicks shoot done one P40 and do just over 100 casualties. Ground Actions: Bombardment at Bandoeng by the Japanese does minimal damage. Bombardment at Myitkyina by the Japanese does minimal damage. SigInt of Note: 4th Tank Regiment is loaded on xAK Shikano Maru moving to Cam Ranh Bay. 4/4th JAAF Base Force is loaded on xAKL Katsura Maru moving to Tulagi.

23 MAY 42 CONUS: 301st BG/352nd BS arrives at Mojave, set to be withdrawn by 18 JUN 42. Sent to Eastern USA to wait there. No option to upgrade to anything but the B-17E, so, no airframe harvesting here… Move along… 1st Marine Rgt arrives at Eastern USA, Set to plan for Lunga, sent to San Francisco for transport to join the rest of the 1st Marine Div at Pago Pago. NOPAC: Nothing to do here. CANAL ZONE: Nothing to do here. CENTPAC: Nothing to do here. SOPAC: Milne Bay forces in three TFs (1 ASW leading two transports with more ASW assets attached) are leaving Pago Pago for Noumea. Five day trip to Noumea. A route for them to travel that avoids Lunga and Shortlands as long as possible is a five day trip from Noumea to Milne Bay. So, we can be in Milne Bay in 10 days. Harvey, let me know when you want them to be there. ANZAC: Nevada still upgrading. Marine raiders doing another deliberate attack. One more and their disruption and numbers will require them to not attack again for a bit. CHINA: Nothing to do here. RUSSIA: Nothing to do here.

That should catch things up on my end. Overall we are concentrating on limiting the Japananese expansions into the South Pacific at Port Moresby (2/3 of the 4th ID and 38th ID bottled up there), and at Lunga. Luganville is solidly ours and there is the Americal division at Noumea and the 41st at Pago Pago. A significant amphib force of a Marine Rgt, some BFs, SeaBees, and AAA is heading towards Milne Bay, D-Day for them is 10-14 days. There is currently nothing there, so they will be setting up a home. One small hold out in Java, and it, along with the rest of the SRA will be in Japan's hands. In Burma, we are slowly being kicked out. But, Harvey has blunt their noses at Akyab and we hope to be able to hold them there. China is going to be tough, but will shall see what we can do there...
