KB disappeared a hundred miles or so due east of Saipan. does sprior think/know im coming?

with KB relatively far away im considering a quick landing at Baker with the 24th ID. according to recon theres only 8000 men or so on the island. hudsons and B17s at Canton hit it next turn.

Baker and Nanomea must be taken and held.

Happy Mayday and goodBYYYEEE Zero bonus!

recon shows no transports or freighters near Wake. but then ive just lost a few PBYs.

is this just a raid?

i dont truly care as long as i know where KB is.

Katoomba has taken a turn for the worse and it looks like shes gonna sink.

PM has been reinforced and resupplied and more troops are on their way.


the troop convoys heading south will prioritize Fiji and Nanomea. they must be held.

AK Malda was surprisingly still afloat, but at about 96 FLT damage [:'(]

alot of convoys coming and going along the Aussie coast, carrying troops and supplies to PM.

theres basically a line of convoys in the SoPac moving to and fro. ive decided to turn Christmas Island into a depot and chain link in the system from Hawaii to Australia. engineers and base forces are being loaded now.

Had to pay 2000 PP to keep a RN CV. now Winston wants a CL and 2 DD
