Chemkid's have options for both stock and extended maps downloads
More turn highlights:
- Multiple Allied submarine attacks, but no results; many misses, one hit-no-explosion
- CAP trap worked over benares; 10 Sallys + 7 Oscars arrived; but somehow the Hurricanes passed through. Results: 8 Sallys and 1 Hurricane shot down
- Tarakan survived its first assault !!! moreover, he brought way too few troops and therefore got a very poor 1-to-6 result. So no risk yet, moreover, he keeps bombing it  thus damaging his own port and fuel!
- As mentioned before, Trincomalee is almost done; he got 2-to-1 results. It should fall tomorrow, unless somehow my naval bombing disrupts his attack. Fingers crossed. The fall of Trincomalee will signal the beginning of the end for Ceylon, as the fleet will have to withdraw under LBA pressure

RE: Mar 24th: Bezwada artillery and submarines - 
I ordered escorts... but I guess they had other ideas; commander was not the problem as he is one of the few good ones there.
