[larryfulkerson]

There wasn't much to say about the movements of the TF's and nothing noteworthy changed so I ended the turn and here's some fresh
combat results: One of my subs is having a good day

[larryfulkerson]

And a different sub tries attacking on the surface:

[larryfulkerson]

And there was a furball over Bataan:

[larryfulkerson]

And then some Allied bombers try to attack some Jap shipping near Singapore:

[larryfulkerson]

And carrier planes hit the airfield at Makassar:

[larryfulkerson]

I don't know why in the world Elmer is attacking Brunei........there's nothing there. But it's his carrier planes, he's in charge of that stuff.

[larryfulkerson]

And the Japs capture Alor Star:

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the situation south of the Celebes. Elmer has sneaked 2 CVL's and escorts into the waters near Kenderi and is headed west
which threatens my shipping of goodies to Darwin. The Houston and Boise are sitting now where those Jap CVL's were yesterday so
I'm thinking I need to head west to chase down those CVL's.

[larryfulkerson]

I need to make a decision about TF 57. On the one hand I could unload the transports and send them back to SFO for more goodies or
I could halt the unload, continue loading the goodies and send the transports on to Oz. It depends on available shipping and how badly
Oz needs the goodies. I've got a boat-load of ships coming to Pearl from Oz so I'm thinking I can just unload these guys and send them
back to SFO. What say you guys?

[larryfulkerson]

The 39th Aust. Bn made it safely to Buna and is being unloaded there. Maybe they will slow down the Jap advance a bit.

[larryfulkerson]

It looks like Elmer is trying to get a CVL group on the west side of Java so he can do some air strike raids on the Dutch aircraft and the
airfields too.

[larryfulkerson]

Okie dokie........I ended the turn and here's some fresh combat results. One of my ships is getting picked off by a sub. I'll divert said ship
to Tulagi for emergency repairs. If he makes it there. These Jap subs can cruise faster than my transports can. No outrunning these
subs. Makes escorting the ships all that much more important.
