RE: The death of Isolationism! Kaleun vs freeboy
One of my subs nabs a TK near Suva.
A large force being cleared from Northern China. Yenen was evacuated prior to Freeboy's occupation. He had massed large forces there, and it wasn't worthwhile to hold on to it at this time. On the other hand, now it is a great target for my airplanes to practice firebombing!

RE: PALMYRA ATTACKED
Too Bad I did put a division into Batavia, what serious bowling balls that jap ccommander had, no prep bombardment.. air land or sea... my planes where held in reserve there as I tracked his convoy.. even pulled the heavies back out of fear of being shelled...
All the Aps listed where on fire,,, burn baby burn...
He must rethink thte cv deploymnets he is making at this stage, plus taking some lba runs might have helped,although IU do have some relatively good cap there..
Palmyria was bombarded and everyone withdrew last turn... I wonder if he knows how concerned about his carriers I am and is purposefully hiding them to keep me on my toes...
RB still is holdng out... China is still a mess... but I still am holding Burma

RE: PALMYRA ATTACKED
[:@]The landings at Batavia have established a beachhead, but a great cost due to poor planning by the Imperial General Staff. They have all been authorized to commit Seppuku.
Further expansion will await completion of current operations in Palenbang as well as expansion of the airfield in our new Borneo base.

RE: PALMYRA ATTACKED
This was an exceptionally bloody error, attempting to land in the teath of my strongpoint.. ouchie, at least he did suprise me, if I knew they where coming with no escort of capital ships k wouldn't have been able to land anything.. as it is he will loose some troops due to sunk ship looses... and his beachhead is small..
operation kick in pants went well, intercepected tf while supporting BB bombarding Palmyria, next venture is chop to the neck... maybe too risky..
How about those 17's[:D]
