1) They saw us coming and chose not to fight today
2) They are returning to Kendari to refuel and get Av Gas
3) We have a security leak
4) They hope to engage us at longer range

Right..that is why the title is "In Harm's Way..."

If there are 60 operable Bettys at Kendari AND the weather stays good AND the AI decides to attack the carriers without first attacking the ships that will unload at Koepang AND take all the zeroes along AND defeat the CAP AND get past the 3800-4200 AAA pts for each TF...then it could be a bad day for the Allies.

The Jap carriers are no triffle either. They sent 80+ Kates to sink the Oglala.

But the garrison at Koepang is just ready to crack. A bombing offensive (3 d maybe) on the ground units or perhaps one more big naval bombardment (the last one destroyed the morale of 251 Brig) may just win the day for the Japs..then we would have 30,000 troops rooting for grubs in the jungle.

It could go either way.

My prediction: The carriers go back to Kendari and the Jap LBA attacks the 10th Brig TF unloading at Koepang. De Ruyter and two Dutch DD's are with the TF as RTA (Royal Torpedo Attractors).

We shall see.

Status: offline 		Are you sure the Jap carriers aren't heading all the way back to Truk to deliver a load of tinned sea-urchin eggs they recently picked up in mid-ocean from some "missing allied AKs" currently under temporary contract to M&M enterprises?

If so, springing Milo out of jail a few turns ago may have been the best strategic move HQ could have made to relieve Koepang...

Kendari launches a raid on the transports at Koepang...as predicted...but the RNN does not have to serve as Torpedo Attractors..the Japs send only 3 Sallys???? It seems they must be behind on repair jobs at Kendari Aerodrome. The carriers are back at Kendari for a drink. I dont think they saw us coming.

The telegrapher at Koepang apparently has dyslexia

Lt. Van Kooten: Sir, I have a report here from a village leader in SE Bali.

Capt. Block: Yes?

Lt. Van Kooten: He reports Professor Meade is living on the old Rhyland Plantation.

Capt Block: I thought she was in Flores. Is he sure?

Lt. Van Kooten: Yes, apparently so, they know her well from her previous work here. There is something else.

Capt. Block: I'm listening.

Lt. Van Kooten: Well, they report she is living with a tall white man who smokes a "funny" pipe. Even more odd....they feel the union must be cursed as they have six, hairy monkey children.

Capt Block: Bah. Sound slike too much rice beer to me. Still we had better bump this up to ABDA.

In a complex brew of chemicals, one gains ascendancy. A neuron fires, which excites a group of nearby neurons, which stimulate a whole network of cells. More chemicals pass back and forth until this activity becomes a conscious thought. The thought does battle with other thoughts until a course of action is chosen. Thousands of miles away, another brew of chemicals begins the same process. Decisions made independently, yet nearly simultneously, set in motion the greatest cataclysm of the War in the Pacific.
