Status: offline 		OK. I pulled the trigger and the combat phase has started. This is the results of my airstrike on his airfield. Results are not as good as I
had hoped. These air groups might be the hard case. I might want to try a different airfield first to get my proficiency a bit higher before
I try to tackle these guys.

EDIT: It just occured to me that I ought to do some "sweeps" of the enemy airfield before I send any bombers. That way the enemy
fighters will be fewer and I'll lose less bombers. Live and learn.

guessing. Few losses and gained the hex. Not too bad.

I'll need some ships to add their bombardment in order to make invasions possible. Now we know.

Status: offline 		During the Allied part of turn 1 the Allies did multiple airstrikes on several of my airfields and clobbered a lot of my planes. I'm just going
to have to get even with them. This calls for Operation London, where I'll concentrate on his air force for a while to see if I can gain air
superiority. And THEN try some invasions or something. Here's my aircraft losses after just the Allied part of turn 1.

Status: offline 		I went to the aircraft listing by hitting 'A' and I got a list of the squadrons and almost didn't recognize it for a second because ALL the
squadrons are in reorg. That means they can't fly this turn and the Allied planes can. So I'm guessing that if I was playing a human
then I could expect more air strikes until my fleet was gone. I'm not sure what Elmer is going to do. Let's watch.

roadblocks and strongpoints.

Status: offline 		The expected reinforcements this turn are these three DD's near Rabaul. I need to move them under air cover somewhere because the
Allies have SBD's and those things are deadly to Jap ships. Especially now that all my planes are in reorg. I think I should split them up
because of the all-your-eggs-in-one-basket rule. And I should try to park them under the umbrella of planes if possible. That situation
where you have a port and an airfield in one hex. I'll have to look around for that situation.

units have the 'G' for Guerilla on their display so I'm guessing that they are in supply anyway because of the rule about partisans and
paratroopers, etc. Cool.

enemy vacated the hex. I guess I forgot to tell them to do that.

Status: offline 		OK. It's T3 already and I've gotten my air fleet back. They can now fly and attack and I've assigned them missions to do that. I'm
sweeping w/ the Zeros and using the Oscars for back up AS. A lot of the planes are attacking ground targets.

Status: offline 		I was going to sail the 1st of the 3rd to Samaria SW and found my path blocked by an Allied DD and so I tried another path and found it
blocked too so I ended up sailing to where it is now. I've tasked the Vals and Kates to take out the DD's. I need that path to get to the
SW port.

EDIT: I've found out from this attack that there's no fighters there at T. So I can strike w/o an escort.

on order.

and lost one of them. D'oh.

Status: offline 		OK. It's T4 and I'm doing air strikes on the Alllied DD's that survived last turn. Also, there's some airfield strikes on order for Horn Island
and Townsville. Most of the fighters I have are on their way to Horn Island since that's where there's a lot of Allied fighters. As soon as
I get rid of the fighters on Horn Island I'll tackle those on New Guinea. I think those have some P-38's if I recall correctly.

Status: offline 		Here's the result of the airfield strike on Townsville and I'm wondering where the escort was. There were P-38's at T. and they probably
tangled w/ my planes and that's why I lost so many. D'oh. I need to do sweeps on T. now too. I'll watch the type of combat that Elmer
does now to see if he includes any planes on any of his strikes to see if his planes are in reorg now or not.

Status: offline 		I drove a couple of my DD's to a station just outside Port Moresby and I thought I'd do a little airfield bombardment. Getting a couple of
the Allied planes is worth the loss of one of my DD's I think. I'd rather not lose any ships but I'm saying that if his mission is a success
in destroying or damaging some planes then it might be more worth it if the ship is lost.

I can park some Zero's on that bad boy.

Status: offline 		I'm going through the OOB moving units and I've come to a unit that appears to be able to move onto an Allied airfield but for some
game engine reason there's no way to do so. It feels like there's an exclusion zone around the hex. D'oh. And I went to a lot of trouble
to get that unit close enough to overrun the place.

Status: offline 		OK. Operation Draino has past phase one, dispatching the Allied roadblock in the mountains, and is not embarking on phase two:
clearing the path to Port Moresby. And then phase three will be the actual take down of Port Moresby. They may need some help
doing that. I've got some combat troops I can ship in there but it's going to take a turn or two.
