The rest will get shot down or is that all that you are going to build?

Townsville

The Japanese have been very passive during the period of the bulk of the fleet re-fitting.

No longer.

A Japanese STF of 4 CL (Aoba, Kinugasa, Tone and Chikuma) and 7 DD sortie from Cairns and head for Townsville. The 24th has seen HMAS Australia present.

They hunt her.

They find her.

They SINK her!

Sinkings: Australia, 2 AM, and 2 PT

Cost: Heavy damage to CL Kinugasa who--for some reason--stays in the Townsville hex and is hit by SBDs and Torpedo-CARRYING B-26s and is sunk along with DD Umikaze.

Nice work using those B-26(T) Big Red! The Americans get two squadrons of these BAD BOYS.

South Pacific

With a 100% prepped ID landing at Luganville, Efate, and Koumac, the landings go well and each base fall easily to assault. Results:

Luganville
JSA: 22-1 Japanese 16 Cas and Allies 2497 Cas, 77 Guns, 34 Vehicles. The 18Ko5th Inf Reg and a Coastal Artillery Regiment are destroyed.

Efate
No resistance.

Koumac
JDA: 172-1 Japan 140 Cas to 12 Guns and 2 Vehicles--another Coastal Artillery Reg destroyed.


The Air Action is pretty strong.

Over Noumea (where 4 BB set-up their tents), 16 Rufe FP hold off 16 SBD (shooting down over half) and then 18 F4F and 6 SBD. Those FP do pretty good. Cannot wait for my FP Georges!

The Koumac Invasion Force has a LR CAP of between 18-24 Zeros. It isn't much considering I have 250 Zero available and 30% set on LRCAP. The Zeros, however, don't have to deal with Allied fighters so they SLAUGHTER the incoming raids: 16 SBD, 9 B-25, 16 A-24, and 13 A-24. Several AKs are hit and, combined with the CD from yesterday, a total of 4 AKs sink.

Five PT-Boats are sunk in this area.

Total air losses for the day (good action in Australia, China, and Burma):

No big deal, I should be up 100% in 2 turns.

Koumac, New Caledonia

Over 100 ships crowd this small harbor as two ID, 2 Eng Reg, a Base Force, and another small unit feverishly unloads. Overhead fly anywhere from 15-25 Zeros on LR CAP from the Japanese CVs.

On the previous turn, BUNCHES of radio traffic (just out of search range) twitch the Japanese commanders on the spot. The Japanese Battleships, Cruisers, and high value units pull back northwards just in case. The Carriers do as well. Thank goodness. The precautions are well done and prove to be the right choice!

At 0715, a search plane discovers Allied CVs and support shops SW of Koumac. Thank the Gods, all high value targets are out of range of what is undoubtedly coming.

Nearly an hour later the call of 'Many Planes Heading Koumac' comes thru the airwaves. Almost to the last minute supplies and troops are off loaded.

Twenty Zeros intercept the massed Allied strike. They are trying to fight their way thru 52 Wildkittens, 102 SBDs, 12 Albacore, and 44 Avengers. All things being equal the Zeros don't do poorly but they cannot pierce the CAP.

The slaughter begins. As the bombers form-up, the remaining Zeros manage to nail a few of them.

Six hours later, a second strike (54 F4F, 97 SBD, 11 Alb, and 44 Av) comes in and fights thru 17 Zero.

More carnage.

The total at the end of the day sees 2 APD, 25 AKs (smaller 12-Knot types), 5 AP, and a PC sunk. NONE of the escorts are, thankfully, hit.

Troops lost are 1,180 and 5 Vehicles total. The troops are all ashore and plenty of supply sits there also.

Such a relief to KNOW where the enemy CVs are. Haven't seen a single one since the battle off Christmas Isle in February.

Time to PLAY BABY!
