Interesting, these ships are obviously too badly damaged to move right now. He will move them the instant my troops enter the hex so the trick is going to be having a Level 2 airfield in operation so that my strike aircraft can attack them when he does try to run them to Soerabaja.

I believe that, at present, he isn't going to try to take all of Oz. Instead he is going to encircle it and IF he sees an opportunity, take Perth in order to cut off the flow of men and supplies from CONUSA to the Indian theatre. Unfortunately for him I am determined to hold the Perth area and am willing to lose most of the rest of Oz in order to do so.

I will stay here in Manilla another day, inviting heavy bomber losses, in order to be sure to draw enemy bombers away from Teloekbetoeng at this crucial juncture. Tomorrow my fighters UPGRADE to P-40Es, P-40Bs, P-39Ds, Spitfires, Hurricanes, Sea Hurricanes and Seafires. When this happens I will have ZERO planes capable of CAP and can be utterly destroyed on the ground IF he hits me with raids on that day. So, I'd rather lose 100 bombers at Manilla than 100 fighters at Teloekbetoeng tomorrow. Since tomorrow will mark my third day at Manilla I expect it to be hit really, really hard. I'm also hoping that by being there I will ensure a fourth day of raids buying my forces at Teloekbetoeng a bit of a rest.

So, how long can Japan which trains roughly 12 new pilots per day sustain the loss of roughly 100 planes ( and about 75 to 80 pilots ) per day? THAT is the question which will determine this battle.
. That gives me a LOT more defensive firepower than PH has on December 7th and we all know what that can do to KB when it strikes.
