If you're anything like me you want to skip any consideration to the computer controlled TF's when you're going through the list of TF's
doing your moves. So what you do is go to the list all TF's screen and on the lower left you'll see three toggles computer, computer CS,
and AutoConvoy.......turn those off so that only Human is green and then when you're doing your shift-< or shift -> keys to go to the next
TF all the computer controlled TF's are skipped. Pretty cool I think.

So I've uncovered an Allied ship just north of me headed in my direction and I just happened to have 2 CVE's w/ combat planes just
itching to get some action. I'll let the AO's hang back and I'll push the CVE's further north to get the Allied TF into the aerial unbrella
that my CVE's project. Baring bad weather we should be able to sink that Allied ship. Maybe Jim is using it as bait to get me to expose
my carriers so he can ambush me? Nah.

Two of the TF's parked at Shikuka are loading resources. It looks like, from the max loading levels of the TF's and the level of the actual
resources at Shikuka that these two TF's are going to empty out Shikuka of it's resources. And then there won't be so much of an
emergency to go to Shikuka.

I'm sending the 62nd Infantry Group to Gasmata and thenceforth to Port Moresby to see if they can rid me of the Gasmata problem and
the Port Moresby problem as well. It will take over 10 days to get there though and I still have to pass through the Allied sub blockade
yet. So far I've had enough visibility of the subs to navigate through them so far but they might adopt other tactics and make me have to
change my tactics too to compensate.

In about 10 days Cam Ranh Bay will receive an infusion of about 42K+ supplies, which is a good thing because the level of supplies is
dropping remarkably. Palembang, Miri, and Tarakan, are sucking down supplies at 1K per turn to do repair kinds of things and the
normal re-supply of bases has to continue of course so supplies are flying off the shelves.

Remember how Zamboanga is one of those bases where there's some boats disbanded that have 0 days to repair but I can't change
them to in-service to move them to a different port because of the 95% port damage I'm guessing. Well, the 2nd Pioneer Bn said they
would love to go to Zambo and fix the port. So I should have my port back within a month I guess, and shortly after that maybe I'll have
the service of my ships again. There's a BB in that mix too.

I've got the 1st China Assault Div now embarking on ships. I may have to dock some of those ships to get the whole division loaded. It
was a tight fit too which implies more casualties when we go across the beach with all these people. I waited until I had just enough ships
and thought it's time to go because Jim is doing bombardment attacks already and I'm worried about my people at Gasmata holding out
long enough for the 1st China Division to get there. And after the Gasmata problem is solved I'm thinking of moving the 1st China to
Port Moresby to save those guys too. Hope I'm not feeding troops into a doomed situation. I don't think so yet.
