UPDATE: Week of September 21st 1942 (9/21-9/27)
The explanation for this is I tried to tidy it up and limit combat shown to three per day per type...
I have read where readers don't want stats upon stats but from my rookie seat I'm trying to
give an impression of the reports that would be generated in a real war...
Also I do not include damaged or disabled units in the reports - consider it FOW

Combat: Keeping pressure up on Larry is this weeks goal, If I dont get Moulemein I figure it will fall shortly.
"Allied Ships Bombarding enemy troops at Singapore" - A rookie's learning curve works out! Giving Larry a bloody nose here will hopefully make him back offand keep Fortress Singapore running...
Aerial: I noticed for the first time that the opponent's faced is included in the reports, hopefully it's FOW mixed in there too, as I already see some advantages by picking on the Akagi fighters that are hanging around Buna (land based?). I know IRL most of the planes had markers identifying them, but there should be some questions if more than one unit of the same type attacks...just sayin...

Naval: Still is like playing whack-a-mole at the boardwalk...lol!
I've gotten really good advice from players and I hope it continues  I'm curious what is the preferred method for choking off a port with subs?
I can already see that airpower is the way to force the issue with the japanese player because Larry is just stretched so thin all over, it's making him choose what he will defend and what he will just abandon.

RE: Get outta the way, playin thru!!!! - 
Today was also the magical mystery flight of the Army Air Forces sub killings... The BB Haruna and friends take some bombs from the friendly aircraft of the USN. Big losses for Larry's ground forces at Pegu... Biggest victory to date as far as displacing the sheer number of units from a defended city. 
. Mojave is expanding nearly one size per turn, thanks to 45K in supply and 16 SeaBee battalions there. The sighting report is a reminder for me to check the area... 17 kts possibly can be a fast cargo, but more likely troop movement, unless its warships out for a cruise? nahhh lol! 
, I have a thought to change over the entire BG to the CATF and make them my contribution to the China Air War. I would love to take credit for the B-24 raid on Makassar, but I simply forgot to reset the target when I moved them to Darwin... It must have shook Larry up a little to see them there though...
I got lucky and sank the PB outside of Truk, I have approx 6 subs covering the approaches to Truk so undoubtedly Larry will be replacing the ASW forces there.
