More evac troops sunk, also a few whom I thought safe deep in DEI.
I was mining many locations in DEI, and he intercepted 4 single minelayers this turn... Zaan, ProPatria, Rigel and van Oranje gone. Luckily after laying the mines at Palembang and Kuching last turn.
Houston was to join a SCTF by merge, but instead they attacked 5 IJN DDs at daylight. Not bad! I think Umikaze is a goner, as sinking sounds after battle.

CA Houston, Shell hits 4Cruiser St. Louis got a torp near Palmyra from his sub. Hopefully she'll survive, and hopefully KB is not coming to Palmyra too. I am dispersing PH Evacs to dot bases.
A fight in DEI takes my CruTF out of action I suppose. Not sure if they survive, or who is lost, as I only got the replay yet.

He attacked some small bases in Hawaii, but no hits on ships hiding there.... Neither in Kona nor in Hilo.
Dutch and british flyboys tried some low level attacks on his ships, but no hits, except one 300kg bomb on Kumano. Is surely not enough to sink her.
P35s deliver a good melee at Clark, they even shoot down some Zeros but take losses ...
One of my Cap Traps worked, but damn H81s dont shoot a single Sonia....
Philippine defenders put a 250lb bomb in cruiser Naka, but I doubt it is badly damaged.
First B-17 raid of the war. I saw the anchor at Haiphong, and 4 squads of B-17Ds were assigned. Not good trained, and only 7 came in, but sunk a CMc Banshu Maru #18, and placed a 500lb bomb on xAK Somedono Maru there.
Near Sinyang he hit the 2nd Group army HQ, and captured sorong. I hope I was able to fly some of Sorong BF out. I need those tiny BFs for Catalina bases in pacific. San Fernando also fallen, apparently to air landing. A small chunk of Yokosuka 1st SNLF come down there.
