Tavoy falls and the the big IJA army next to Raheng is hung up clearing the adjacent hex so it can continue to retreat.

[bigred]

8-26-Brits invaded PB and FatR had a betty auto react set. Allied CVEs did the job.

[bigred]

[bigred]

b

[bigred]

and the truk attack makes 1-1 each day of a 2 day turn...

[bigred]

I counted 10 enemy AA units at truk...they seem to work against both ships, armor and planes...

[bigred]

FatR brought the KB into action at Biak. My Amphib TF w/CVs was north of Hollandia and spotted by the Japs last turn. My CVs then moved to Truk to support the Truk attack While FatR moved south. FatR LBA attacked my ships in hex at Sarmi. They probably expected to hit a hi value target but got some AKs Covered w/CAP..

[bigred]

In the land war I captured Mergui and Truk.

How are you pools holding up?

all USAAF pools are empty and all USAAF sqns operating at 70% frames...all others are ok.

[JocMeister]

And still september. Ouch. Thats sucks. [:(]

Two more months before the P51D kicks in. That will help a little. I have found the USAAF pools to be constantly in various states of critical. I hope 3/45 will bring some relief when the P47N kicks in with 100 per month. After that nothing happens with the pools until 9/45 when the P51 bumps up to 250 with the H model.

Playing the allies in AE sucks sometimes. Good thing we get lots of CVs! [:D]
