And then there was a Jap airstrike on Manila w/ good results. Just another month of this and we'll be done.

[larryfulkerson]

And then some Nells did another strike on Darwin........this one had the results I expected from attacking into CAP.

And then there was another strike on Singers:

[larryfulkerson]

And then a strike at Townsville got some more hits on a BB:

Here's how it went on the ground at Manila:

And then I did a defensive attack:

And then Oosthaven saw some action:

And then the Allies did their daily ground bombardment at Port Moresby:

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the combat report:

[larryfulkerson]

The Allied fighters are back in Darwin and they are interferring w/ my bombing campaign so it's time for another naval bombardment. TF
23 is already tasked and on it's way.

[larryfulkerson]

Cam Ranh Bay is due tomorrow to receive a 44.5K slug of supplies from TF 35, which is a good thing because CRB is almost out of them.

[larryfulkerson]

I've got a TF carrying the 4th Inf Rgt to Gorontalo which is the last British holdout in the Celebes I think. It shouldn't take too long to
subdue and conquer the place. After that I'm thinking of taking them to the south Java cities and dumping them there.

I've found a bunch of TK's and have re-directed them to head to Palembang so I can start moving the oil out of there.

[larryfulkerson]

TF 524 is slated to do a naval bombardment of Port Moresby sometime soon. They are on their way as we speak.

[larryfulkerson]

I'm planning on making a trip south along the east coast of Oz w/ my carrier just to look for any capital ships and or transport shipping.
Either one is fair game I say. And if I'm going to make a very long trip there is going to be a need for extra fuel so I thought I'd get an AO
started that way early to get it into position and ready. I'm not so sure it's a good idea to bombard Port Moresby w/ my heavy guns and
I'll tell you why: I may need them to be fully-armed if and when I run into some serious capital ships. And for that matter Jim may have a
gaggle of carriers on their way to Port Moresby even as we speak. I would if I were him. We may have some drama soon.

[larryfulkerson]

I changed my mind. Instead of bombarding Port Moresby I'm going to bombard Townsville. Maybe I can get some of those Allied planes
specifically the fighters. Fighters can CAP and I'm after the BB in port so I'll need a port attack and the less fighters Jim has the better the
chance is that I can get a Kate through it and into the port itself.

[larryfulkerson]

Now here's something you don't see every day.........it's a PB that has about 1K of resources loaded. What do you know....I guess I'll
direct him to unload them on the home islands somewhere.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the ships and the planes of TF 576. I've got the Val's and Kate's all armed at the port and one carrier wants to fly nothing but a
sweep of Townsville and it looks like we're all set to get that BB.

[larryfulkerson]

I received Jim's moves and did the movie and here's some fresh combat results:

Here's the losses from the turn:

[larryfulkerson]

One of my subs found a TK out near the middle of nowhere:
