The enemy built a significant force in Batavia, and we are starting to pound the base with our naval assets and also with Army bombers. Our troops are still bogged down in Manila, althought our Helens are having some success in damaging the base. We hhave a stalemate in Davao but we will fix it soon. Tarawa was hit again.

More two enemy PT´s lost to our Zeroes, the enemy also attempted a suicide attack of PT boats vs CV´s and so he lost the 3 PT´s near NG. Unfortunately, while the Zero guys were strafing these toys, enemy LBA decimated the invasion force approaching Lae.

ALLIED COMMANDER UPDATE:
Port Moresby aircrews get their revenge for previous transport losses, damaging a few Japanese AK's on the way in to New Guinea. The Japanese will probably land anyway, but Allied troop positions on the island are strong and the invasion will be bombed to bits. Maybe. Hopefully. Depends on how much KB support stays around.
However with KB hovering near New Guinea, it is NOT near Tarawa, where massive amounts of American troops are building a mega airfield to complement the faciltiies on Wake Island. Soon the Central Pacific will be off limits to the IJN as massive amounts of American bombers on Wake & Tarawa will prowl the seas...

ALLIED COMMANDER UPDATE:
Despite the IJN landing at Fiesnchafe on the tip of New Guinea, Australian troops have reinforced Lae and are planning a forward defence of Port Moresby. LBA from PM are also prowling around for the KB to avoid a "Coral Sea" type engagmenet in the South Pacific. Meanwhile American troops stream to Tarawa & Wake Island in anticipation of a fight for their lives with the IJN in late 1942.
The Japanese are taking their time in the DEI and the Philippines & Burma, which has led to lower IJN casualties but also allowed Allied troops to dig in at key points and prepare a counterattack. The first Hurricanes are arriving en masse at the front...
