The death of Isolationism! Kaleun vs freeboy

[kaleun]

1/6/1942

A generally quiet day on all fronts. The usual activity in China and MAlaya. The usual bombardment in Lingayen.
No naval activity to speak off.
The calm before the storm.

K raids Canton IS. destroys or damages air assets there and is on a roll in Maly...

China is a slow grind for him ..
PI? again not much
Solomans looks good, maybe he isn't going to attack there till after he takes the SRA? nothing in SRA/Borneo...
I am a little concerned about his fighter pre war superiority bonus, or else my new carriers would immidiately seek out and destroy these nasty little raiders!!!

come June we will have some serious cv battles!
