For the second time I reached 1943 in a PBEM!
If I am right, this means submarines are now at 60% dud rate (instead of 80%), and as per HR rules, I can now sweep at 25K
So, not a lot of news, frontline remains static, we are in some kind of quagmire in the Celebes, I can't resupply, he gets bombarded every turn
What else is new? last turn I decided to bomb Miri and Brunei, just to test his defenses, results were OK, some oil hits to distract him
Next turn I will invade Koepang, and there is a 2nd invasion coming in a few days
