Two observations:

1. The IJN lost about a dozen Jills for one xAK. That's a good thing for you!

2. No infiltrators in your rear? So you've already had it up to there with alien probes?

Status: offline 		I do have a navy Lib recon squadron operating out of Aurorae. I want to subdue Nauru and seize Makin now. Then I shall be poking around his playground. I have some more long ranged search a/c just arriving at Christmas and Luganville so I hope I can restrict his movements more. I lost my last merchant which I was using to smuggle supplies into Darwin today, that makes five or six. At least she snuck in and emptied her holds first. She was bushwhacked right off the coast by cruiser force. I have to get some bases operational on the northwest coast, but it is not a priority. And now for the big news from the CBI.

G 190/3 128/1
H 32/10 3/1

Status: offline 		There is the numbers game....I reread some of the air coordination notes as well as the changes from witp to AE and discovered some old gems of wisdom I had long forgot about. I hope the Hellcat can prove itself in an offensive role as I want to keep the P47s in the CBI. Even if they can fly at low kill ratios but get home to help the F4Us gain air superiority I can live with it. I sure would not have wanted to be them in the first wave.

Status: offline 		9 Battleships! I like the way you think!
I think there was a unit there with some guns and vehicles (arty or AA) and you wiped it out. I don't see any combat squads on the casualty lists so I think your attack will be a pushover.

It did provoke a reaction though. It will be hard for me to wait for the return turn. The USN is at sea!

Status: offline 		I MUST focus on this pivotal point in the war. Map showing conditions as of 4 April. TFs are ready to debark in 72 hours for TASK-3 SoPac. Makin was occupied three days ago in CenPac. Oolong Java is now a seaplane base extending the CATs range out into the "hole" KB slipped through. I believe this will decide "our war" as a loss here is curtains given the present date. OOB, routing, and objectives to follow when the TFs are well to sea.
