then three cargo ships blunder into the Allied fleet afterwards with predictable results, another two destroyer skirmishes, an Iboat nails a destroyer (American I think...fog of war makes it spotty), and then here is another daytime fight.

They were all hit at 19k to 16k yards, MTB 10 did plow into a mine at Palembang, and I bet they were out of fuel although I didn't get any messages suggesting that.

Could have been worse at Palembang, and at Pontianak.

Hard to see the six fleets under the black in the Aleuts...showed up on my monitor but not the post.

Absolutely devastating bombardment from four cruisers. Runway closed.

Bettys' raid a port leaving an already damaged Soviet destroyer with fires and heavy damage. Perhaps heavy fires, can't remember now.

Allies were quiet in the air relatively speaking, but got 8/10 DL on Pontianak, so all but one heavy cruiser (that was pumping out the counter flooding will leave for Balikpapen. Beefed up the air defenses the best I could.

Boela was bombed, AA Regiment arrives today and Zeroes are flying LRCAP. I should have held off taking the base till I had Rufes. Two engineering units arriving too.

I had to scuttle that destroyer, fires.

5 Mavis lost when the base in the Aleut fell, couldn't repair them.

As has been said, the pace is relentless, and it makes it a fascinating read.

I am also. The Allied OOB is not at all forgiving until 1943.
