OK. Update on our game. Looks like Nomad has turned the tables on me submarine-wise. Now his subs are picking off my supply ships to and from Perth. I'm losing mechies at about two per turn now.

Also Baby KB is in the Arafura Sea just to the North (game table north) of Darwin causing hell with some of my merchies which were bound for Kendari.

With BC Hood and most all my Dutch cruisers gone things are looking bleak. His long range Nells and Bettys have sealed off most of the DEI. Borneo is almost completely gone as is Sumatra. It's only a matter of time for Java now. Java appears to be the last bastion of freedom and democracy in the DEI.

Finally some good news from the front:
