No.

I convert standard A thru D merchants to tankers.

In general, I use merchants as refueling beasts rather than oilers. Not as efficient, but to me tankers and oilers need to be hauling fuel and oil from port to port.

There are more than enough big capacity merchants to act as a refueling arm.

That was just a starting point, reduced it for a more subtle look. I can make a map in less time than most can do a turn.

If you have photo software you can play with the effects with this map or the original.
If you want to use this style I could eventually get the right hue.
Too many to list all ive made. What I see on my monitor may be different than what is on yours.

Iboats continue their attacks.

How did it get to be Dec 21 already?

Damage is fairly minimal as the Allies attack the runway, the port and not the oil. Gotta get some Zeroes here.

Still an impressive day of coordinated raids.

A destroyer task force will sweep deep.

Adak has only a small naval company and portions of a JNAF engineering unit there. Enough to fly some patrols out, which I am about to relocate there.

For today I will limit their search to very close to Adak, but then cover Unmak tomorrow when the destroyers go in.

The Shokaku and Zuikaku are headed here...I want these islands to run Iboats off the West Coast.

Japan has several 2 VP long legged AMc...several will be out as pickets.

The restricted patrol boats will fly search, now that they are done transporting units to Paramushiro.

So I will try to keep a weather eye on the Chinese here.

This is one of my favorite units. It's not a mutant. It's a great unit for SoPAC. I like this one on Kusae Island or Ponape along with a base force and an increase in port size, this unit helps to allow for fast embarkation from either place... you know for counterattacks or some such.

Some fireworks maybe, as the arms of the pincer close on Balikpapen.

B17Es show up over Palembang, and despite having 16 Zeroes intercept plus other fighters, they promptly score 15 oil hits and shoot down at least 7 fighters.

At least the AA fired; and the AA will be doubled after tonights unloading of more AA.

No beasts destroyed for the day.
