So another turn and the allied ships move a bit south and are now showing that they are moving NorthEast. They spotted a slow moving merchie TF but did not attack. I am very perplexed as to what he is doing. Makes no sense to me.
In better news, Manila fell on day 2 of the attack...

Was surprised at the number of aircraft caught on the ground and wiped out. Makes no sense, but I have never really played the allies so I don't know all their tips and tricks.
