Ok, i have to stop cheering now cause i have feeling i will scream tomorrow. As you may see from the attached picture, enemy ML Oglala mined Nauru and fleed from KB... grrrr...
Yes guys, you are right, my transport fleet don't have MSW... sometimes i have to ask myself how could you be so stupid? (i'm using mines as defensive weapon but don't even think that enemy could do the same...bah!).
Anyway, i'm taking the risk, naval garnison must land on Nauru - i can not stay here even with KB for to much longer...

Defeated Japanese Units Retreating!
Nothing serious. I think he just "provoke" me here. My divisions are in Darwin now - they are resting. I sent one SNLF unit towards Alice spring, but Andy have some troops there. SNLF is now few hex from Alice (Alice, who the.... is Alice?) Spring and we shall see how many troops Andy have there (he moving towards Darwin).
I send one division from Perth to Derby, just in case and i can't defend Perth succesfully cause it is so isolated. So every day gained with Perth in my hands (HI, oil, res) is welcomed and deserved bonus!
