Various Allied attacks but no significant damage on either side.
DEI
Multiple low-level bombing runs on the 767th Tank Battalion have a low success rate and knock out just a single vehicle and disable two.
Allied task forces have turned around and are now threatening to reinforce Tjilatjap or start a landing at Djokjakarta or somewhere else. This time there are reports of transport forces in amongst the carriers. However, the various naval search display limitations in the game mean I have zero idea just how much he his sending - the kitchen sink is in there but not sure whether he has the 2nd best bed as well.
Yamato, Ise and Hiei bombard Tjilatjap and knockout some I39WH-3 and CW-22, these are obsolete Dutch bombers; does he have Dutch reinforcements that are arriving now he has the base? They do fair damage disabling a few squads but still nothing great. Most Allied land troops are moving towards Bandoeng.
A CA task force was sent to intercept what I thought might be a fast transport TF heading for Christmas Island. It reacts into the Allied main forces and encounters the British Battleships. Luckily, there are no air strikes launched against my cruisers and they should be able to make it to safety.
