This is a fairly interesting turn. The battle for Java has clearly begun, with the first serious air strike today (following a technical sweep yesterday). The invasion of the Andaman islands began. A follow up attack occurs on Tulagi. IJN Tone managed to evade enemy surface forces twice - and at least survived the day - in spite of extensive damage and fires from yesterday. Her DD consort wasn't so lucky. The Japanese noticed the raid out of the jungle on Luzon and are pounding the raiders from the air. The Chinese managed to get the better of an artillery exchange - never mind fewer guns. The fight for central China is anything but over.

It is a semi-secret from opposite sides, but both sides lost a cruiser today from the battle two days ago - sunk after reaching port - both with huge numbers of fires raging. Both report being sunk by 8 inch shells of the other side. The air battle for Batavia was worse than it looked like - putting the Japanese a hundred planes ahead in the air exchange rate - and decimating the only large and somewhat effective bomber force the Allies had in play.

A fighter trap laid at Batavia was somewhat successful - but failed to save the airfield. Lack of fighter cover in China was even less successful saving an airfield there. Dutch B-10s still cannot hit the broadside of a barn - even at low altitude.

Several minor battles - one didn't quite happen in Burma as AI gave it to the Japanese for free - another came off but is a day late - airborne assault failed to execute yesterday at Bassein Burma - Manado Fell to a brigade assault - and the Chinese front line fell in South China to a division scale attack. Allied bombers did manage to score well today - the force is somewhat recovered from a single disasterous strike that cost 85 bombers in one shot! Troops are too exhausted to fight well on Western Java, at Bataan and in Central China - so the main battles are yet to come in those areas.
