And then I captured Cebu, which is a good thing because the naval bombardment forces have driven off to the south to deal with
a different threat.

And then that attack was followed by this one:

And then this attack on Batavia happened. It seems that I'm going to need a lot more troops to take down Batavia. I'll ship some more
people into there to help out.

And that attack was followed by this one. Jim's Manila ground bombardments are killing me. I'm going to lose a lot of people over this.

And then Jim thought he would attack me at Padang:

And then Jim thought he'd bombard me again at Gasmata. Not much is happening during these bombardment attacks fortunately.

And then Jim thought he'd do another bombardment at Port Moresby. The odds are lower now however so not much is happening when
he does these attacks.

Here's the combat report for those of you who want to see the entire thing:

Truk is about to receive a large shipment of fuel ( 41K+ ) from Tokyo. That will last a long time since most of the islands and locations
have received a drink of fuel from Truk already and now we're mostly down to maintaince runs for top-off's.

I'm putting TF 47 on computer control just to see what it does next. I've got it undocked at Palembang, fully loaded and I've pointed it to
Cam Ranh Bay as the destination and Paley as the home port and I've put it on computer control. We'll look at TF 47 in the future just
to see what it does next. I'm hoping it'll go to CRB and unload and return to Paley and reloads etc. We'll see.

Okay...it's Friday 16:50 and Jim and I have exchanged emails and here's the latest combat results: This is the entire list of Tracker
Alerts.

I see now what's happening........Jim was using those ships at Johnston Island as bait to get me to expose the carriers and now he's
chasing them with his heavy guns. I'm going to have to retreat it looks like because I'm not sure I have the air power to dispatch all
those heavy guns before he gets to my carriers.

And here's a second encounter of the same kind:

And I'm doing something similar at Port Hedland. I expected to lose the E boat by the way.

And then there were some inconsequential sub attacks like this one at Perth:

And then there was a second encounter at Port Hedland. You'd think that if it's at night and the Allied ships are on fire that they would
be easy to find and sink. I may ought to have used a bigger boat for this operation.

Jim's subs are being a pest still. It looks like I almost got this sub this time:

Those troops that WERE going to Port Moresby are now landing at Gasmata. I'm planning on cleaning up that situation and THEN try
to move them to Port Moresby.

I've got a sub at Midway that is staying busy. Maybe a week off for that crew when their cruise is finished.

And then the next thing that happened was this furball over Java:
