Not much happening on in forward areas today. Lots of back ground maneuvering though.
subs: More air attacks on subs. This Jake gets a hit.

So Pac: Going for more dot bases in the New Hebrides. Just want to make things harder here when the invasions come.
The first D4Y1-C run over Suva flew today! I guessed correctly. He has evacuated most ships. There are still 32 listed there, mostly combat types. There are 170 (!) fighters, plus 78 bombers and 67 auxiliary.
Tomorrow I'll look at Nadi. A SCTF will move down between Noumea and Suva and to the South, hoping to catch some ships leaving to NZ. I do love recon! [8D]
JPC: Bought out the 22nd division, the first full division to leave China. There won't be many more full divisions leaving, but potentially quite a few brigades and regiments.
I'm thinking of putting it in Port Moresby. Could be a pretty big stumbling block sitting there, and also once taken, could move back and defend other areas on the back side of the Owen Stanleys. Any other opinions on a good place for an extra IJA division in defense?
Burma: Allocating troops to the Andamans now. For starters Port Blair and Car Nicobar will get 120AV garrison units. The others only smaller SNLFs and the like, but they will all get regimental sized units eventually.
