I dont know how many of the ASW AC "hits" are accurate with FOW on.....but I do know that StoneAge has massed 10-12 subs here in the northern Solomons to hit USN CVs and none of the IJN subs can get off a clean shot with all the ASW AC spottings. The Allied float planes are on ASW here but are not as highly trained as the TBFs. The carrier based SBDs are not highly trained at ASW but the land based SBDs(USMC) are as are the Hudson level bombers.
SOPAC
With Feni Island secured SOPAC amphibious assault transports move on to invade Kavieng in the Bismarcks next turn.
In this final SOPAC offensive, Allied forces will complete their "Rings around Rabaul" by securing the Bismarcks and the Admiralty Islands....and then they will link up with SWPAC troops advancing NW along the northern coast of Papua New Guinea. Rabaul will be isolated and eventaully mopped up at a later date.
SWPAC
The 132nd IR, 182nd IR and the 112th Calvary Regiments capture Hansa Bay.
SWPAC forces will now advance on Wewak.
