Japan is determined to take Luganville it seems

Is this still going?

It is. I cannot access the forum from work, so the frequency of updates is limited.

6/30/42
Enemy forces land and attack Luganville in force. The allied defenders, one of the Australian Coys a base force, a fraction of the 3rd USA Infantry division, as well as marine paratroopers resist heroically. Assistance is ready to go but, the enemy has strong surface forces in place, and KB lurking nearby.
Submarine attack on KB yields conflicting results. The commander reports all torpedoes missing, but radio intercepts seem to show at least one large carrier hit.

Good grief, now you actually have to work at work? What's the world coming to?

What are the VP totals, sunk ships etc? Enjoy reading about carnage.[:)]
