Here is my biggest problem at the moment Fast Transport not working at all. The following TF's are to run in dump thier cargo and retreat, they have been sitting at Truk for 2 - 4 and 6 days and have not put a single supply point onto the island. Just sitting there waiting for AdmSpraunces planes that attack every day to notice them.

Status: offline 		Summary:

I still have lots of troops I can remove from garrison duty to defence

I need to supply up all my main defence bases

I have about 80 days worth of resources and 50 of supply/fuel

I need to do something about my HI

I have this real need to do some dumb things. (as if I have not already done enough)

I have a large pool of pilots and fighters

There is no fight left in the Marshall Islands (there will be no attempts to resupply or evac)

my main defence line is around Saipan/Gaum this will be the last stand of the japanese empire as when it is finished there will be no Navy, army or airforce left. It is now a waiting game to see how long before this area is attacked.

Status: offline 		Thailand I decided to put an 80% CAP over 1st RTA/C Division to try and catch his B-25C Mitchell that had been bombing them on and off lately. The first day worked out well for me, but like normal the second day of the turn did not go as well.

This turn I have moved up 2 Sentai of Rufe FF to Truk to try and slow down his bomb damage. I still have the problem of no fast transports unloading. All ground units are full supply but the base supplies will not go above 20.

Tonight: Babeldaob

In tonights tour you will notice 1 air unit set to 20 CAP + 20 LRCAP over Babe. On Babe I have 1 unit set the same as this with LRCAP over Peleliu and 1 set to 40 over Babe. The idea is that unless he attacks both at the same time there will still be some CAP over his target next turn. Hopefully!!!!




I spy with my little eye all his Carriers at Rabaul, Next target Truk or Peleliu (Maybe it is worth more than history has told us)
