And then my PG does it again:

But then the Japs corner my PG and sink her:

And then one of my subs gets lucky and bags an AK:

I'm using my PT boats as bait to get the Jap planes to fly so I can shoot them down.

[larryfulkerson]

And then there was a bunch of stuff happened in China and then this attack happened

[larryfulkerson]

And then the Japs fall for my PT boat bait again:

And then the Japs strike the wrong island and look like they are pulling away to the northwest.

And then the Japs hit Honk Kong:

And then my B-17's decide to attack shipping at Bubble Drop:

And then there followed a second attack by B-17's

[larryfulkerson]

And then the Japs attack my shipping near Miri:

[larryfulkerson]

And then one or more of my carriers got a strike in before the Japs leave:

[larryfulkerson]

And then the Japs capture Hong Kong:

[larryfulkerson]

And then the Japs capture Kota Bhura:

I've given TF 119 a waypoint to get around those Jap subs but I'm still not happy. The CV Saratoga was going to join the other two
carriers but I'm thinking that maybe it's important to get a float plane to illuminate those two Jap subs so that all that westbound traffic
won't run into them. Either the carrier itself ( it's planes ) or maybe one of the CL's w/ a float plane. Makes more sense to use a CL,
and maybe an escort for him.......yeah, I'll dispatch a CL and a DD to paint those Jap subs on the radar screen.

Also, I'm thinking too, of merging all that traffic westbound into the path of that white outline arrow, so that there's only one stream of
ships instead of two. I could leave that CL / DD pair as the air support for the traffic. Plus he could be a marker for the entrance / exit
of the path. Have another pair of the ships at the Pearl entrance / exit for that end of the path. Cool.

TF 122 was originallly from Oz but I've been giving him direction vectors and the latest vector pointed him at Canton Island and now that
he's getting near Canton it was just about time for the next vector, to Palmyra, but I'm thinking I'll let him dock at Canton island just to
refuel, and let that TK fix it's sys damage. Probably the Captain's personal sink is clogged up again.

I've asked the float plane aboard that CA to do a recon of Tarawa WHILE it's doing 50% searches. Can you do that? I was going to have
the CA park itself at Ocean island to sort of protect the Catalina based there. I've got the Cat spying out those two Jap ships at Tarawa.
I'm thinking that if they are just AK's that the CA should attack immediately but if they're DD's I'll probably wait for backup for the CA.

Here's the choice for the Louisville: attack or not? He's got traffic to his north, two Jap TF's and they might be just AK's. I'd better get
the Louisville float plane to investigate further.

Okie dokie.....I pulled the trigger and got some combat results.......first, here's some new Tracker Alerts:
