How can we lose a major enemy TF (or two) surrounded by Allied bases? Somehow our recon is not

RE: RHS Test 8A: 16 January 1942 Encountered enemy in the Banda Sea!!!
Remember the Allied plan to extract Lark Battalion from New Britain? This happened today - in spite of multiple task forces in the immediate area and enemy bombers hunting out of Rabaul. 4 DD lifted 100% of Lark - which is in good shape after eating all the supplies it could find. Two other units at Rabaul vaporized under attrition and attacks - but not Lark.

RE: RHS Test 8A: 28 January 1942: Battle of Johnston Island!
It has been a rough war for the Imperial Guards Brigade. Its first action, at Midway, supported by KB, found it terribly decimated because the Marine Defense Battalion had been reinforced by a regiment of 155 mm Howitzers. After recovering, it sailed for Johnston Island, with a surface only escort - no KB. It ran into a single squadron of Allied light bombers - and they took a terrible toll. The Marine Detachment also had been reinforced by a full sized Defense Battalion - and it fought them to a standstill. Considering the shock attack after losing many men on the eight ships that took bomb hits, and still more casualties in the landing, it must be in terrible condition. For that reason the fate of Johnston is unclear.

RE: RHS Test 8A: 29 January 1942: Allied Victory at Johnston!
In case one thinks the Japanese are invincible
in a theater stripped to the bone (except for Oahu defenses)
a Japanese brigade sized assault on Johnston Island was
defeated in two days of savage combat. The Allied troops,
ships and planes took virtually no casualties. The Imperial
Guards Brigade is combat ineffective, with zero rifle squads
in the line!
Japanese forces unusually lost many ships and aircraft and
ground troops theater wide. Less cheerfully for the Allies,
it appears a major invasion force is massing near Port Moresby
and India was actually invaded today at Akyab.

RE: RHS Test 8A: 31 Jan 42: The Battles of the Malacca Straits!
A series of six naval surface actions by a flotilla of Axis destroyers and torpedoboats vs a Dutch Cruiser-Destroyer flotilla of similar size occurred on the approaches to Djambi, an RHS added port (and the second
largest oilfield on Sumatra) at the Northern end of the primary road from Palembang. Japanese forces have
been landing in force - just one of the TFs landing there since yesterday has an entire fresh division on it -
so the Dutch were correct it was a potentially worthwhile target. Intelligence reports indicated there was
nothing more than PG and PC in escort - but it turned out to be DD and TB. Japanese submarines and air power
were complicating factors, but almost all the action was between surface ships at night, under 100% visibility
conditions. This probably kept the actions at long ranges which in turn probably saved the Allies from effective torpedo attacks. Also, at long range it is hard to score, so the forces kept disengaging and re-engaging all night long. Somehow the several non-warship task forces unloading - or just unloaded depending on the case - were either missed or managed to escape - often with messages of "task force evading enemy surface threat" appearing on the Japanese side.
Otherwise, the turn features the arrival of the Kiddo Butai at Horn Island, which is already Japanese held - and apparently pausing there. A US submarine at that location was engaged without effect to either side. This is the leading edge of a major force including two carrier task forces (probably 3 CV in each, otherwise 4 and 2 respectively), two squadrons of battleships (Yamato, Nagato and Mutsu in one, all four Kongos in the other), and two amphibious task forces which have probably embarked all three slices of a Japanese division which took New Guinea in addition to units which came with them from Rabaul. The Allies assume (correctly) that this force is targeting Rabaul, and then supporting forces attempting to invade the Eastern NEI but got hung up by a greatly enhanced Force Z supported by air power from the islands. Balikpapan fell but is useless because the Japanese have been unwilling to face significant opposition to clearing the many mines there, and Kendari was invested a week ago by the third slice of the division (2/3 of which is at Balikpapan) - but been unable to make progress even with air support. A commitment of 3 old BB by Japan was met by one of the Repulse and Prince of Wales with many cruisers - although the two forces didn't quite engage directly. The ancient Greek Averov and two CL were lost at the price of setting all three BB on fire, and all three plus their sister have since taken bomb damage in port at Manado. Covered by 4 CVLs, one of these took a torpedo and is reported as sunk on Allied ships sunk reports - and they have withdrawn to points unknown. It appears the KB is to replace the CVL force as well as the damaged battleships.

RN 100th Base Force Wiped Out at Tenom [BrNoBneo] by attrition!!!
largest oilfield on Sumatra) at the Northern end of the primary road from Palembang. Japanese forces have
been landing in force - just one of the TFs landing there since yesterday has an entire fresh division on it -
so the Dutch were correct it was a potentially worthwhile target. Intelligence reports indicated there was
nothing more than PG and PC in escort - but it turned out to be DD and TB. Japanese submarines and air power
were complicating factors, but almost all the action was between surface ships at night, under 100% visibility
conditions. This probably kept the actions at long ranges which in turn probably saved the Allies from effective torpedo attacks. Also, at long range it is hard to score, so the forces kept disengaging and re-engaging all night long. Somehow the several non-warship task forces unloading - or just unloaded depending on the case - were either missed or managed to escape - often with messages of "task force evading enemy surface threat" appearing on the Japanese side.
Otherwise, the turn features the arrival of the Kiddo Butai at Horn Island, which is already Japanese held - and apparently pausing there. A US submarine at that location was engaged without effect to either side. This is the leading edge of a major force including two carrier task forces (probably 3 CV in each, otherwise 4 and 2 respectively), two squadrons of battleships (Yamato, Nagato and Mutsu in one, all four Kongos in the other), and two amphibious task forces which have probably embarked all three slices of a Japanese division which took New Guinea in addition to units which came with them from Rabaul. The Allies assume (correctly) that this force is targeting Rabaul, and then supporting forces attempting to invade the Eastern NEI but got hung up by a greatly enhanced Force Z supported by air power from the islands. Balikpapan fell but is useless because the Japanese have been unwilling to face significant opposition to clearing the many mines there, and Kendari was invested a week ago by the third slice of the division (2/3 of which is at Balikpapan) - but been unable to make progress even with air support. A commitment of 3 old BB by Japan was met by one of the Repulse and Prince of Wales with many cruisers - although the two forces didn't quite engage directly. The ancient Greek Averov and two CL were lost at the price of setting all three BB on fire, and all three plus their sister have since taken bomb damage in port at Manado. Covered by 4 CVLs, one of these took a torpedo and is reported as sunk on Allied ships sunk reports - and they have withdrawn to points unknown. It appears the KB is to replace the CVL force as well as the damaged battleships.

RE: RHS Test 8A: 2 Feb 42: KB Approaches Darwin
Today, the KB convoy train - which is spread across 600 nautical miles of the Gulf of Carpenteria -
turned sharply to port, and is headed due North skirting the coast of offshore islands of New Guinea.
It is out of range of Darwin and might not be headed there after all. Its fleet speed - only ten
knots - may indicate the presence of small, laden invasion ships. This MIGHT be a relief of the
Japanese force stuck at Kendari.

The A-20 even do not carry that many Devices, and I do not have seen strafing to do anything useful. Are you also modified aircraft MGs? I would at least expect few damaged planes during strafing. Does Japanese forces at Johnston Island have standard equipment of AAMGs?
