Okay, so finally here we go with the next turn.
Vildebeests in Tavoy fly out to Akyab, as enemy troops are spotted in the hex and sole allied forces are a RAF base force which is bugging out to the north  anyway.
I've set up 2 convoys from Australia to PM, one wiht the AV support and the 1 AP conveniently stationed at Cairns and the other from Brisbane with about 10K supplies and 4K fuel, I'm going to hope they make it if I can hold Rabaul for a little while longer, Cairns is not very far away.
The AK's in Melbourne I'm routing to the US, as I don't really know what to do with 'em in Australia and I'm realizing now, sort of, what kind of supply convoy system I'll need from the West Coast, and there's never a such thing as "too many AK's"
Combat Dec 15, 1941 (my RL birthday, though waaaay wrong year):
Supreme Commander, Allied Forces, Pacific Theater is pleased to report the first confirmed enemy ships sunk of the war, one (AK Seiki Maru) lost to a Dutch submarine, and an enemy PG to the cruiser Houston, which attacked and damaged a small group of Japanese ships in a night action.  A British submarine is also reported as heavily damaging enemy AP Awajisan Maru with 2 torpedo hits and multiple hits by gunfire. Ground troops were reported on deck and many were observed blown overboard, jumping into the sea to escape burning to death, or killed by shellfire. Sub skipper believes although vessel was not confirmed sunk, damage may prove fatal.
The Japanese capture Apamama, Tavoy, and Kuantan.
