Status: offline 		On the 4th of July 43 Port Morsby is retaken by the allies. I did not realize the total power of my attack....this could have been done w/ less AV. Note this amphib was dropped in one turn, everything offloaded except my motorized trans.

This caused me to move the entire fleet 2 hexes off the invasion site because I suspected an air counterattack and did not want to get caught in shallow water.

A Betty sqn penetrated CAP and sank one xAK. Attack was made on the CVEs w/ land based judies from Milne but no hits...both FatR and I suspect the increased AAA is starting to effect the game.

FatR and I have agreed to a 3/4 day break from the action. I must admit the focus required to stay competitive against FatR has made me feel like I need a vacation.(for example, I have to change my sqn commands every day or they grt butched by the enemy)

Status: offline 		Today FatR sank one of my CVEs and damaged another off Cooktown..  My fault as I thought the marine F4U would fly cap.  That Sqn was not carrier capable.  so a major mistake on my part.
Cost me 93 VPs.

The KB was last seen moving in the direction of TRuk. My recon shows it is safe to restart offensive operations in the SWPAC area.

It is time to pick up the troops at PM for redeployment and the CVEs where covering the trans TFs..I will push on w/ LBA.



Also it seems I have finally got a good footing on how to bomb the burma valley into submission....Should take about 7 more days.

I have placed three Indian Army Corps around Katha.. Should be able to push the japs off mandaley soon.

Also finally nailed a IJN AO off truk as my sub fleet was tracking the KB.
