One DD fleeing Midway sank from hits sustained last turn. Another may sink next turn. It looks like the raid caused Bill to pull the TFs out of Midway.

A Jap sub in San Fransisco harbor was attacked by Allied DDs. It should make for good propaganda however.

In India Diamond Harbor was hit destroying 15 Catalina Is on the ground

I tied a landing at Wellington without the close cover of the KB. Allied Cvs ambushed the invasion fleet and struck it before the landings could take place.

I had figured that most of the AC had been pulled from NZ and the worst I would be facing was the CD guns.

I think that there was a SigInt leak involved in this somehow.

Hopefully the Allied CVs will still be present when the KB arrives.

American BB's and CV's -- a rich harvest for the KB.

Potentially!

After 4 days of staring at the Allied carriers, the KB finally launched a strike. For the last 4 days SBDs were spotting the KB and my planse were spotting an identifying the Allied CVs yet they did not launch any strikes due to the rain. They have been only 2 hexes away for the whole time. I was worrying about a surface action so I kept moving.

For some reason only the Kates flew and managed to sink the Saratoga and seriously damage the Enterprise.

In other SoPac news, Pago Pago was captured. Bill told me that the Allied CVs were here the day before the KB raided it. I would have 20,000 less troops swimming right now if they had caught them then.

Enterprise, Pennsylvania, California and 4 CAs sunk by the KB off of NZ. Starting to run low of gas and missions.

SigInt gave away my intentions in India so my suprize landing at Diamond Harbor was intercepted by a surface TF. Recons show all LCUs in the area heading towards the landing beaches. Hopefully this will not become a Galipoli.

Well, at least it's on fire.

BTW, are you sure none of those hits were 60kg bombs from the A6M2's?

Shouldn't be since they were assigned to escort (in case of LBA fighters) and not naval attack. WE are playing with animations off so we will never know.

This turn saw a carrier battle in which the Junyo was hit by a strike from Brit Cvs and they in turn were hit by Bettys. There was also a BB vs BB battle at Daimond Harbor which saw the Haruna sunk. At the end of it all a beachhead was established at Diamond Harbor. Now I have to hold onto it.
