December 12th 1942 ______________________________________________________________________________ Home sweet home. ------------------------ DEI ------------------------ I get some small jabs in here and there. With the Japanese completely ignoring Luzon I can sortie small TFs from Manila. Sadly this convoy was empty but everything helps. quote:

Ford DD Peary DD Pillsbury, Shell hits 1 DD Pope The Japanese land unopposed at Miri, Singkawang and Kuching. Singapore is now isolated and will fall in the first attack. MKB has disappeared toward Badeldaob. There is a huge SCTF at Manado. I suspect this is CA TF that covered the Jolo landings. Its a shame the PoW TF arn´t in range. The Kongos are most likely covering the Singkawang landings. There are big holes in the the Japanese cover right now. I´m trying to get more combat ships into the South China Sea. Since there is loads of fuel at Manila I can use full speed runs to get them in there. ------------------------ CENTPAC ------------------------ As predicted the Japanese land in Hawaii. quote:

The following forces are identified. -1st Formosa Inf. Rgt -Sasebo 1st SNLF -47th Infantry Rgt Are these usually used for Luzon? At Wake the Japanese suffer a small setback. quote:

Nick is moving fast right now with a lot of targets secured every turn. ------------------------ SWPAC ------------------------ Hollandia falls to Japanese hands. Not sure why he lands there of all places and not go straight for Rabaul?
