Haven't posted in a while since things have been rather slow in our campaign. Ken and I are getting turns down but nothing major has happened since the fall of Balikpapan.
1. Singapore is status quo with my cutoff troops holding against 4 Japanese Inf Div on the eastern coast while Johore Bharu easily repels all Japanese attacks to date.
2. The Philippines sees the Japanese advance into Lingayen and, thus, only leave one unit at San Fernando to their rear. Two units in Baguio are detailed to cut in behind the Japanese advance and cause a bit of panic!
The Philippine AF continues to holds its own against the Japanese planes in the area while still attacking shipping whenever they can. The experience of my 2EB Squadrons is climbing rapidly and they will become quite dangerous within another couple of weeks.
3. Java waits and sees...
4. SE Pacific is looking excellent as a convoy carrying 275 planes from the West Coast arrives at Suva to bring aerial forces to this region. The bombers and fighters will be spread between Noumea, Luganville, Nandi, and Suva.
5. My build-up in the Aleutians continues with the goal being to recapture Attu within 4-6 weeks. Unmak is building up and I will soon deposit troops at Amchitka to do the same thing.
Here is the action in and around Port Moresby:
