Allied Air Losses:

Ground 10

The Zero sweeps were particularily efficient and destroyed many Dutch fighters on CAP.
Wobbly denied that he had cruisers south of Java, but I spotted a bb/ca group heading NW of Darwin today.
With a little luck my naval bombers will attack them tomorrow. I reduced the number of bb's heading towards Palembang, don't want to show all my assets and at the same time destroy the oil facilities.
3 ca's and 3 dd's are now heading towarsds Truk. They will make a lot of noice and escort troop ships all over the place.
I told Wob that I hoped to land a K.O. blow, but now where - but hinted somewhat ironically that occupying New Zealand should be sufficient to force an end to hostilities  Not sure whether he thinks I'm really going to land in India or expand soutwhards.
KB is passing by Kavieng today, the tankers are still unobserved in the Coral Sea

RE: Sit map and end of year report - 
lalala, the poor sods didn't even get close to the troop transports. Nr 10 
NEVER give the dog a bone, it'll just take the whole hand in the end.... 
The transport was hit by...Dutch Do-24's and damaged before the TIV's appeared. 
Still one left in the hex!
