[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]SUBS: [/font] Not much happening with subs. Still getting good shots and getting a sub every few days sunk without a hit.
[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]DEI:[/font] No movements further than Babar for now down there, and very little activity other than moving in PTs. I'll try to gauge when more is arriving and send in the BBs and CAs to see if I can mess up a landing somewhere.
Manado is crushed by several BB bombardments. Supply is getting low, but with the new Marine division there I will not likely add more to this slowly disintegrating defense.
[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]S/SW PAC:[/font] I sent in several air groups to hunt for cripples after seeing the CVL Princeton earlier with a sub attack near Milne Bay. The assorted planes in range didn't find any big targets but hit some transports and a small tanker. It has to keep him a bit nervous though moving valuable ships around through the Solomon Sea to have several IJ bases still intact and operable, especially now that he doesn't get the extra pre-turn intel about whether I've moved planes in to a field overnight.
[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]PI: [/font] Lots of sweeps go back and forth here as we try to see what an offensive mission looks like against his very big CAP at Cotabato. Not too good, but not any worse than when he sweeps our bases. About 1:3 results on the day, meaning about 60-70:180 in losses. [X(]
I sent in 4 small old DDs to the area near Mindanao and picked off a bunch of landing ships, but in spite of two brushes with a big APA TF we couldn't do much due to screening by the escorts. The DDs ran out of fuel and were crushed the next day, so mixed results here with this action. In VPs it's about equal, but in reality he obviously can afford to lose many of those ships while even crappy DDs are a bit more precious for me.
[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]BURMA: [/font] I've given up Toungoo and moved south. The AA units and armies should meet in the clear hex in several days, hoping to avoid massacres. I'm prepping for some air cover in the area as well. Should be tense. The other stack at 55, 51 is also now moving and should meet this one in Pegu in 6-7 days. I hope to stall at Pegu for a few days and then move across the river and force him to decide on a flanking move or a direct assault across.
