Unseen in this combat report was the sighting of most of Japan's carriers in the middle of the Indian Ocean. They almost caught an allied bombardment fleet in harms way.
No doubt these uninvited guests have come to payback the Brits for inflicting such heavy losses on them at Andaman. I have ordered all surface assets in the region scattered in all directions.

Deja vu?
From Mogami's prospective, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. As he is trying to play the ultimate
non-lunacy game. I
think the is trying to demonstrate that playing within historical territorial bounds, and with good conservation of forces, the the stock game can allow a the Japanese side a fighting chance.
That is not what I am doing. I am trying to rip his throat out anyway that I can
.
But being down 5 carriers has put a crimp in my style. Basically, he won't, and I can't, under take any major offensive operations. For the foreseeable future, my best play is to apply attrition tactics where ever I can. Accepting 2, or even 3, to 1 in losses. Kill enemy pilots!!
My best bet for inflicting damage and being a pain in the ass is in Burma-India, so I will try to keep that theatre as hot as possible.
