Just NE of Cairns, the I-174 caught an ASW TF and sank an AM at the cost of being hit by a DC causing 15-16(7)-6(6)-0. She's ok, but she'll have to head to the barn for repairs.

You don't need to capture Bataan, just bottle up the enemy and finish it off later. Especially if there were a few units left there and they were not at Clark/Manila.

Too late, Joe. I pulled KB a little farther north but did trash the P-40s and CL Adelaide too. I landed the troops at Buna. That area makes me nervous with KB. Last game I lost Hiryu there in Jan 42.
