These are just a fraction of all the attacks in China right now. Its just painful to watch. Supply at all Japanese bases including Chungking is now 0. (Actually 20 in Chunking).

Some better news here as I manage to ambush Tom with a big CAP over Sydney. Manage to outsmart him for once. I moved the fighters in to LRCAP Newcastle which had been visited the previous day. This failed as Tom shifted target. But I knew Tom wouldnīt miss the fighters so I took a chance and stood them down. This worked well as 150 Zeroes strato swept the following day. I then put the CAP back up and sure enough the bombers came in the following day. [:)]

In the replay two more strikes came in getting chewed up. Sadly this was just sync bug...still 22 Nells and 15 Zeroes for 7 own losses.
Two days later Tom was back at Newcastle. Unfortunately for Tom I had just snuck in some US Heavy AA into OZ... [:'(]

33 Nells are shot down. Nice. [:)]
Tom has now lost about 300 Nells/Betties over OZ. Sadly this is dwarfed by the 5000 Strat points he has taken.

KB
------------------------
Once I got NavS up over Noumea again Tom started plastering everything in sight while scurrying out with the KB. Got conformation that they are returning via SIGINT this turn. Very rare! [:)]

OP. Something Something

Tom should spot me tomorrow. I hope Iīll catch him a bit off guard!
