"Earth loses gravity. Details at 11:00"

I'm not exactly sure but I think maybe this means that I'll start building several new models of aircraft starting in January of next year. Which is only a couple of weeks away. Welcome additions.

I've decided that the Soviets have too many obsolete aircraft and I thought I'd withdraw some of them and stuff the pilots of those squadrons into the bomber training squadrons to fill them all up. When I click on "add pilot" it tells me that there are no more so this is what I have to do.

Next I have to decide what to get rid of first, the I-153 or the I-15bis. The I-153 has higher values at higher altitudes which is important to me. So I'll get rid of the bis dudes.

I just discovered that neither the B-24 nor the B-29 has a mission to transport troops. D'oh. Now I have to search for the longest range troop transport I can find.

There's an enemy SCTF to the east of Singapore but the detection level is so low that so far I can descern only two ships but they are moving west. There's a DD parked at the pier that's healing but even if I included him with the smaller boats that's still not the kind of TF to confront the Japs. Also, there's a TF486 that has two more DD's heading south going to Singapore but all those ships combined probably aren't a match for what the Japs are bringing to the party. We will soon see.

I've got a handful of subs loitering around the HI ( depicted in yellow circles ) and I'm trying to intercept Jap ships flowing north or south from the HI ( path of ships depicted in yellow lines ). I'm doing this because I desire to isolate the HI from the rest of the world. If I can starve the HI from it's fuel, oil, RES, and even supplies then maybe I can win this war sooner rather than later.

The AP Joseph T Dickman finally arrived at Colombo and it's unloading it's cargo of troops and as soon as that's done, by tomorrow maybe, then I can withdraw it from the game 62 days early. I'm way to early to get rid of the Wakefield but I think I'll withdraw it anyway just to get it out of the game. Just so when I forget to withdraw it, it won' t cost me anything.

he automatic convoy system is running a couple of the routes. Saves me from having to do everything. It doesn't always service the most important routes but every little bit helps.

Sorry these little TF's are so hard to see. I was trying to demonstrate the boat traffic between Cape Town and Colombo and Diego Garcia. The smaller range transports can reach Diego Garcia and other smaller ships can bring it from Diego Garcia to Colombo ( or other needy destinations, for example Calcutta.

There's a Jap TF to the east of Singapore ( still ) and I've got my entire air fleet at Singapore concentrating on it and I'm going to attack it even though it's in a thunderstorm because I'm hoping to get lucky. I'm going to drop everybody down to 5K feet because of the weather.

Here's how my economy is doing right now. Some of the production is shut off because some of my refineries don't have enough oil to run them and I've turned on the stockpiling of oil but it's not keeping up with the needs of the refineries ( yet ). Also, some of the HI is turned off because some cities that have RES, LI, and HI are so low in RES that the LI can't run so I have to turn off the HI so that the LI can run. There is some disabled prod because some Chinese cities have damaged facilities, LI, HI, Oil, RES, or whatever.

I just received the No.232 Squadron RAF at Cape Town and it's got an experience level a little above average and one of the pilots is in the 70's already and their morale level is high enough to start them training. I'm going to move them to Rangoon I think.
