this raid but maybe future raids will be more successful.

Status: offline 		Okie dokie.......it's Sunday pm 16Sep2012 and I've received Jim's moves and did the combat replay etc. and here's the latest combat
results:

Lucky for me I just happened to have some DD's sitting nearby doing nothing in particular and sent them to Canton. Unlucky for Jim
they just happened to arrive before his ships had finished unloading. Lucky for me my DD's did some pretty good shooting and
unlucky for Jim he didn't have some really really good escorts to fight them off.

Status: offline 		Jim had some PT's and an AK to escape from my blockade around Java and they tried to make their way to Singapore and I finally got
lucky and chased down the last survivor. So to speak. I don't know how well you can see this but Jim has a sub inside the port at
Palembang. So even after they arrive at the port the ships have to be escorted. Good moves on Jim's part I think.

Status: offline 		This is what happens when you park a sub in an enemy port, especially one as busy as Palembang. I think maybe that Allied sub's
days are numbered. Jim may want to move it before it gets sunk. Or maybe not....I myself would trade a sub for an AK too.

Status: offline 		The operation to shut down the Cagayan Alllied airfield is codenamed GREEN STUDEBAKER and it's proceeding apace. Maybe a
couple more bombardments like this one might do the trick. Then we can switch to operation SINTILATING SNAKE to salvage the
situation on Cebu.

Status: offline 		I had to divide the Sasebo Division into three parts to get it to fit on the available shipping and the first installment is at Port Moresby even
as we speak. The second installment is being loaded at Buna and I'm thinking that the third installment is going to be needed at PM
as well. Jim has some remnants making their way to PM overland and I'm hoping I can get my guys there before his guys arrive because
he may have enough fire power to force my guys out of the hex. D'oh.

continuing. Looks like I need to stand down the Betty's for a bit so they can receive some more aircraft.

that to keep the invasion(s) going too. Now I'll have to ship in another from somewhere.

Cagayan and then pound Cebu and then leave Cagayan for last.
