Here's the situation at Pago Pago right now. It needs a lot more supplies and fuel to be a proper hub. But according to the TF list nobody is headed to PP with any goodies so I need to look into that and make some arrangements to supply those things. I'll do that now before I forget to do that.

TF238 has arrived from Aden at Bombay and is unloading an AAA unit which will be moved to Rangoon ASAP. More troops are on their way from Aden to arrive sometime this week.

There's lots of oil at Soerabaja and AUS needs it so I've got TF439 loading as we speak with all the oil they can possibly hold and we're going to attempt to move it to Geraldton and then go back to Palembang for some more.

All of a sudden a Jap sub popped up under my ASW screen and it's too near my TF402, an AP headed to Pearl. I gave it some waypoints immediately to try to save it and I called TF320 ( 4 DMS's ) and volunteered them to go meet TF402 and escort them to Pearl and I don't need any more of your lip so just do it and shut up. This the second time so any more of the same and I replace you. Es verda?

TF326 is approaching Canton Island where it will unload a lot of LCU's including some engineers. They will help build up the base a little bit quicker. I intend to turn this into my southern sub base and I have an AS headed this way.

I was a day late and a dollar short on preventing my ACM's from laying their mines at Dutch Harbor as they have already done so and they are returning to SFO. They are carrying away 4 mines that didn't get laid for some reason. As soon as they arrive I'll load them back up with mines so they can do their primary job, tending minefields. I'm going to quit using them to lay mines. Too much effort for too few mines per trip.

Here's what's happening at Johnson Island: several TF's are unloading supplies and fuel and there's a troop TF there trying to unload some LCU's and two ships can't dock ( too big ) but have motorized equipment that needs to be docked to be unloaded so they will have to wait until the port is bigger. Other than that all's well so far.

Here's the Aircraft Replacement Pool dialog:

This is part of the AVG based at Rangoon and Greg Boyington finally made 81% in EXP and so I moved him to the TRACON to save his life and make him an instructor to the other squadrons and to replace Greg I raided the reserve for their top fighter pilots and this is what we have now. Could be better but not too bad overall. I predict that this squadron will produce some aces soon.

The Japs tried to land a lot of troops last night and my SCTF8 was doing a bombardment of the hex so when the Jap ships appeared my TF8 clobbered them fairly well. There's some remnants left over so I'm moving the Lexington a little bit closer to sink the Jap ships still at Wake. I have but ENG and ART LCU's in the Wake hex so I'm doing bombardments with them but I need some kind of infantry unit to attack with. I'll look around and see what's available. There's a troop transport leaving Pearl as we speak that has some AA bound for Wake.

Here's how the economy is doing right now. I still have disabled production because the cities that have the broken facilities don't have enough supply to repair the damage. There's shut off facilities because they don't have enough RES or oil to run them. AUS is especially low on oil but I have some already on it's way to them.

The auto convoy system has been picking up the slack for me. It's coming in handy. So far so good.

Here's what the PI looks like right now. The Japs have marched adjacent to Manila and it's just a matter of time until they own the island.
