well I was really scared tonight
I expected Inf rgt there and if it was there it would be extremaly difficult
CD guns made sth beyound belief
10k shots to landing forces
3 AP and 7 MSW lost many ships damaged
but now the ring of patrol planes is broken and I can harass enemy supply lines also easy transport of short legged a/c to OZ is over.
with 1 full crack division and equivalent of second one it will take a long time for allied to be ready for central Pac offensive
