Hey now, there's a new Allied TF just showing up on my radar SE of Tarawa. I'll have to go investigate further.

Here's some fresh combat results: I did a night naval bombarment of Port Moresby:

One of my subs gets lucky near Colombo. The Cornwallis is showing up on the sunk ships list.

Funny thing on my attack on Mersing: 7 planes flew on the mission but 8 were damaged. Pretty cool trick.

Jim has split his Manila remnants into two groups and I have to bomb them separately. I'm surprised that Jim was able to get one of the groups to move out of the hex he was in since I'm bombing it so regularly I would have thought they were "stuck" in their hex but
apparently not.

And the Cagayan beat down continues. I'm wondering if I can destroy the 102nd PA Inf Div by air attacks. Probably not.

And Jim attacks me w/ his PBY's at Rangoon. I think maybe Jim is using his PBY's as bombers because he doesn't have anything else
to use. Either that or his PBY squadrons are in his little black book of misfits and he's trying to get rid of them.

And just then Port Moresby was treated w/ a B-17 raid again.

And then the Japs show up at Port Moresby to do their raid:

And then my carrier boys do a raid on Brisbane and get about 6 Allied ships....though not all are showing on the sunk ships list

And then Singapore was hit by an airstrike:

And then the Japs capture something or other. At least the southern front is advancing. Maybe I can wrap this up pretty soon by
advancing all the way from where they are now to the northern front positions. That's my plan at least.

This attack at Mersing is surprising. I guess the Allied units must be out of supply or something because they outnumber me but they got
the brunt of the losses. Interesting. Maybe I should try a DA soon.

TF 511 is sitting right where the Allied TF was yesterday and the Allied TF has disappeared from the radar. They were reportedly
heading SW when they were last seen so I'm guessing they went that way. I've got a CS that's looking in that sector......we'll find them
eventually maybe.

It would be really nice to know exactly what kind of Allied unit is at the tip-end of southern Java and I just happened to have an E boat
that would just love to run up there to Pamekasan and do a naval bombardment just to get a list of what's there in the combat results.
