That radio source target is back, more or less on course. Unfortunately the two subs patrolling in front of them are not currently on station. It was a good day in the air overall, 15 to 1 for us. Some of those were near Tennant Creek and some over Cox's Bazar. Near Tennant Creek the air attacks of both sides have been getting more and more effective. quote:

The USA 192nd Tank Bn is about 3 days out and together they should be able to defeat the two recon Rgts they are facing. There are two infantry regiments on the road to Tennant Creek but they might only arrive at the battlefield when Imperial reinforcements arrive, so the goal is to push them back ASAP. Tomorrow No76 Sqn will provide LRCAP from Tennant Creek (two hexes distant), while the 80th FS will bring the P-38E into action for the first time by sweeping from Alice Springs. Meanwhile, IJN subs are flowing down the eastern coast of Australia. The USA 32nd ID is currently 40nm out from Sydney trying to dodge one of them. The other convoy, mostly carrying aircraft, will make Melbourne tonight.
