I got lucky in this sub attack in that the Allied sub didn't connect on any of this four TT's. I'd hate to lose a CVE to a sub.

And Jim is still trying for Gasmata. I have some people at Rabaul that are getting ready to board the boats to head over to Gasmata
and put an end to this sillyness. And when they get through there they will head over to Port Moresby to stabilize that situation.

Here's me making sure that the expand port and expand airbase are both turned off and I made sure the repair on the refinery is turned
off so there's only the Oil Center left to work on. Get the oil flowing and then talk about expanding the port and the airbase and the
refinery.

When last we left TF 8 yesterday, we had her docked, and doing a loading operation, but the destination and home base were both set
to Tokyo. So we were wondering what was going to happen: take off for Tokyo, or stay there and load. So now we know, the TF is still
loading at the dock. Proof that's what happens when that situation comes up. Good to know.

Here's location Bubble Drop just about to receive a huge 11K+ slug of fuel. I've checked out the base hex and there's no limit on the
fuel and supplies you can store there so I plan to max it out at some point only because it's so valuable to the hub and spoke kind of
thing I have going on with Tokyo and points to the west and south. I'm surprised that Jim isn't jamming a lot of subs into those waters
because that would really wreck the traffic going in and out of there. Most of it is escorted, true, but he might be able to pick off a ship
or two just because of the law of averages.

OT: Obamma just now won the presidential election according to Google. Now back to the game.

Traffic has backed up Hakodate so I'm sending this TF to the northernmost port that has goodies and there's two possible routes it could
take and I'm leaning toward the one that starts off to the west and goes through the gap and then north rather than the one that just
takes off to the east into Allied sub territory and then goes north. I'm thinking there would be fewer Allied subs on the first route than the
second. Fewest subs wins.

When we last left TF 20 it was sitting in Hong Kong loading supplies and the destination was set to Hong Kong and the home base was
set to Tarakan. We were wondering what would happen to the TF. Well it turns out that the ship stayed there and completely loaded
and didn't leave the port for Tarakan. That may be because it only just now finished loading and didn't have enough points left to do
the undockiing and leave port. So I'm thinking I'll just leave it there docked in Hong Kong and see what happens when it's already in it's
destination and not in it's home port. Will it decide on it's own to take off for Tarakan? We'll see in a future post what happened to TF
20.

Here's TF 26 and it's unloading just before disembarking for the most northern port for resources ( I don't remember the
name of it right now....starts with an S ) and the destination is set for where they are and the home port is set to the most northern port.
So the question is will they stay there unloading or take off for the north or what? We'll see in a future post.

Here's how crazy busy it has become for Tokyo. Tokyo is the locus of 99% of the supplies leaving the home islands and Tokyo has
the largest reserve of fuel of any base and that makes it one busy port. A lot of the troop transports have already loaded and left but
there's a large fuel TF loading and at least one supply TF that's still loading. A lot of the convoys that are inbound are coming from a
long way away as seen in the endurance needed column. And there's a lot of resources and oil headed for Tokyo.
