Can't believe you still have guys on Mindanao.[X(] I still have Cagayan and turning away assaults at 0:1 but it is only Jan 29 42. Can't last much longer.
Poor Bill forgot about those two AMC off Tahiti in our game. We both just noticed them there after six weeks! He just lost one to a PT boat attack. I thought they were a sub sighting.[X(]

RE: A small victory
Task force Hyriu moves leisurely west between Java and Borneo. I had transferred a gaggle of Martin bombers to Soerabaja for a token attempt at a defense, or at least to make him think twice about it, only to find that I forgot to change their targeting orders to "Naval attack"[:@] Actually, it probably saved some crews, considering Brewsters are the only escorts available[8|].
