And just then Darwin was hit by an air raid:

And then just north of Singapore, at Johore Bahru there was some action:

And then there was a furball over Java:

[larryfulkerson]

And then there was some action at Port Moresby:

[larryfulkerson]

And then there was an attack at Singapore in which I lost a third of my Vals for 1 hit on a sub. I'm going to turn off the Vals from now on.

[larryfulkerson]

And then there was a B-17 raid on Port Moresby:

[larryfulkerson]

What's the record for the number of hits sustained by a sub w/o sinking?

[larryfulkerson]

Mersing saw some ground action. I forced some Allied vehicles to go back to where they came from:

And then the Allies do their daily ground bombardment of Port Moresby:

And here's the combat report:

I'm going to get my minelayers to lay another layer of 80 mines in and around the Wake port area to thwart the subs.

I've just noticed that I have two HQ units parked at Manado. I don't need 2 HQ units at Manado and I don't know how this happened but
I'm wondering if there's any drawback to having two HQ units in one base. I can't think of any. I still need to move both of those HQ units
to a better spot however. That AP that's there doesn't have the capacity to move anything except the engineers and I'm thinking I might
need some AF dudes at that base for some reason in the near term future and so I'm just going to go get Manado some fuel from
Bubble Drop.

This shows the traffic pattern in and around Balikpapan. There's some ships there now that are loading up on fuel and there's an awfully
large number of empty ships headed for Balik. There should be because I've instituted a program to move all that fuel away from Balik.
And when that's accomplished maybe by then the minefield will be gone from Palembang and I can start hauling oil again. On the other
hand the home islands need resources and fuel the most so I'll go back to hauling those. Plus supplies from Tokyo out to the field.

I've got a PB babysitting an Allied base south of Singapore at Singkep and even though the base looks empty there could still be some-
body sitting there and I wouldn't know it without some recon besides the PB. I lucked out when I invaded Toboli and Billinton because
they were empty but that might not always be so. Maybe I should do a ground attack into that ( those ) hex (es ) so as to get a list of
what's there after I've attacked it in the combat results. Or maybe I could go w/o recon if I take a big enough unit to invade so as to be
able to handle some residents of the base.

Anyway, those new places look to be holding quite a bit of resources and I can put those to good use if only they were somewhere else.
So I gotta haul 'em to the home islands.

I've got a question: can an underway DD crew move two rounds from the Rear gun to the Forward gun ( they are the same kind of gun )?
If they did that the defensive value of the ship would be increased. They can do that in real life can't they?

[larryfulkerson]

Jim and I exchanged files and here's fresh combat results. One of my DD's had some action:

[larryfulkerson]

Three of my DD's are having a good day:

[larryfulkerson]

I did a night naval bombardment just to see what's there to be a target and found the hex empty which is good news.

[larryfulkerson]

One of my subs got an AK near Pearl:

And then Darwin was hit by an air raid:
