5/14/44 Fun House: CV Lexington takes a torp near Palawan, where John did a good job setting up a sub bushwhack. I walked into it. I did have lots of ASW, which claimed one of the subs. DD Ammen also ate a torp, taking heavy damage. The invasion of Balabac is unopposed and the base is vacant. Puerto has a small infantry unit. My guys there won't attack tomorrow because they still have elevated fatigue. Tomorrow, amphibious TFs will hit Beaufort (near Miri), which I think is vacant, and Sandakan (north Borneo), which I think has a very weak garrison. I had originally intended for 6th Aussie to hit Miri (not Puerto Princesa). Burma: Pegu falls with the IJA troops taking moderately heavy damage. The enemy garrison at Rangoon takes heavier losses, nearly 50%, and should evaporate tomorrow. That includes 18th Div. Short/Medium Term Plans: With CVs Sumatra and Lexington damaged and CVE Chenango sunk, I'll reign in my activities a little bit more. That's 210 aircraft that aren't available now. So rather than leaping forward boldly, Fun House will focus more on the immediate environment: Luzon, Mindanao, northern Borneo. After the invasions of Sandakan and Beaufort, it'll be time to escort some empty transports to the DEI, where loaded transports and some combat ships await.
