TF 43 troops unloading over beach at Lae [New Guinea], 56,90
I'll attack tomorrow and should outnumber the defenders by about 6 to 1 so should take Lae with minimum fuss.

Allied ground losses:
30 casualties reported

In total 3 x Me-264s were downed today. Still, they managed to secure 8 supply hits which are, in the current context, priceless. In any case I am producing over 100 per month now so can lose 3 per day, for a short while, without any significant deterioration of my striking power. I have also saved up more than 30 produced Me-264s and am planning to convert my first 30-bomber group tomorrow. That ought to tempt the Allied fighters back into the air over Shikula.

For some reason my bomber crews decide that today is not, after all, a good day to fly and sit in their shacks drinking "skinny lattes" while the Allies range overhead.  Well, I'll hang in for another day since all I'm losing are obsolescent trainers and it may draw the Allied bombers in and give me an opportunity to inflict some more losses.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BB New Mexico, PG Jumna and 6 merchants slip beneath the waves during the course of the day. This takes Allied shipping losses since the beginning of the month to 60 ships. US Navy shipping losses are running quite high and I just don't see how sufficient supplies can have been landed to survive a concentrated Japanese aerial assault on Shikula. In addition I also have a 1000 AV guard force in the Home Islands to repel airborne invaders and 1000 AV at Toyohara with another 900 AV due to arrive over the next 10 days.
Below you can see the situation in the Petropavlovsk, Etorofu Jima, Shikula triangle... 58 enemy ships are confirmed either spotted or docked in that area and I plan to collect most of them, pushing the number of Allied ships sunk well over 500.

RE: Japan vs EVERYONE !!! -

...i hope it will last until '43... 
Jagdfluger is definitely avoiding bases at which Mikes are known to be operating. Sadly that just leaves him about 90% of my bases to hit.
