I don't see ANYTHING stale in Burma. It is "hot, damned hot. So hot I could cook things in it!" (Good Morning Vietnam)
There shall be a MAJOR fracas next turn. June 20, 1942 looks to be a highly entertaining/important day.
On the Australia subject, all I have to say at this point is since the Aussies were not able to successfully complete the GREAT EMU HUNT OF 1932, maybe we seek to do it for them!

Whoa, thought it was a nightmare
Lord, it's all so true.
They told me, "Don't go walkin' slow
'Cause Devil's on the loose."
Better run through the jungle
Better run through the jungle
Better run through the jungle
Whoa, don't look back to see.
Thought I heard a rumblin'
Callin' to my name.
Two hundred million guns are loaded
Satan cries, "Take aim!"
Better run through the jungle
Better run through the jungle
Better run through the jungle
Whoa, don't look back to see.
Over on the mountain
Thunder magic spoke
"Let the people know my wisdom
Fill the land with smoke."
Better run through the jungle
Better run through the jungle
Better run through the jungle
Whoa, don't look back to see.

It appears that I have a turn in box. Even got a call from El Presidente BigRed letting me KNOW there is a turn in my in box.
My personal bet is that this is the FORMAL SURRENDER of the Allied player!
Am nearly certain of this...
RIGHT?
RIGHT!
BANZAI! BANZAI!! BANZAI!!!

Soooo much hype and excitement for basically NOTHING!
The Japanese arrive with a near 100 ship TF. Five BBs are embedded in the TF to help with the landing. Coming ashore are two IDs. Though they take losses, the landing is not bad. An AK is lost to a mine and another to a Sub.
The Kido Butai interposes between Anchorage and Kodiak and deals with little-to-nothing. There are several strikes with B-17s and this one by SBDs. The B-17s take real losses and the SBDs are crushed.

June 22, 1942
The rudeness and impertinence of the Americans cannot be described. Using the evil, off map Allied Aircraft procurement system devised by JuanG, Paul buys out a number of early P-38s. He tries to use them over Kodiak...
Alas...no luck as they run into a maelstrom of Japanese Sea Eagles who gobble them up and ask for more! (Not really...but it sounds good)

Any ship hit by a torpedo or mine shows up as sunk, regardless of size. They are examples of FOW.
