K flew by pearl, just as my mighty heavy air arm was getting ready to welcome him back!
He sunk a few transports and now has dropped off the radar? My carriers are in a strategic location should he appear!

elsewhere the Brits continue to thwart the Japs, at least slowingthem some..
Dutchies too, at this pace looks like the SRA is safe for some time [>:]

News Flash Southeast
Asia..... Massive airstrike against Jap surfase fleets leaves sveral ships burning, at least one Ca damged and one BB on fire.....

at least some good news[:D]
Those flippin CV's dissappeared off the West coast.. I sallied a bushwack group and nothin!.. so maybe he will get in close to somepklace and I can spot him and start to breath normally again !!! AAAUUHG.. jap carriers loose in my shipping lanes...!!![:@]

I want the introduction of a hi gain/ with infra red capable multi pass per day satailite to find those darned invisble ships!.. they show up, launch against my ships and then vanish???????

And then of course a bombardment sat to make the ships go away after you find them.[:D]

Seriosly, those buggers really are hard to find, maybe the search for larger tf uis too hard.. no need to have the killer sat though, my new and improved version 1.5 airforce with all upgraded planes will crush them in 43

I have no problem finding the IJN carriers; the problem is not having enough power to attack them effectively! Patience, Grasshopper...

Well, in another game now reaching 1945 with those beasts finaly dead his carriers where a constant pain, Zeta 16 continually used the dissapearing paint sceam to make me scream.. now I think in the coastal raids near the USA K is playing hide and seek...
It is much easier to see his ships over in the Seas off Maly.. too bad it works both ways. I wonder will the ybee back off Hawaii? are the other carriers headed to attack India? well lets hope not too soon, as he is still not into PI in force

The Battle for Kuala Lumpur and Malacca starts. A large number of troops are trapped in Kuala, sop they will not be available to defend Singapore.
Imperial carriers do a dissapearing act, to keep allies guessing
