After penetrating the South Pacific ocean, the enemy carrier fleet dissappears into thin area. Allied command desperately reshuffles its recon assets to improve coverage of this important area

[kaleun]

With the enemy carriers missing in action, the allied command is at a loss to determine shipping routes to and from Australia. By this time KB could be anywhere in the vicinity of Suva or Canton island. Further search assets are brought in the area, but it might be too late for the allies to react once KB is found.

Broome falls; meanwhile the enemy carrier force withdraws a little from Noumea, and is now seen just east of Espiritu Santo

[kaleun]

The fall of Broome complicates the supply problem of Darwin.
Shortly before Broome was attacked, a task force of one AK and one TK, plus escorts succeeded in reaching Darwin, and unloading. While the Japanese hold Lautern, Koepang and AMboina they can attack the northern Ozzie shore with Betties or Nells. these are great antiship bombers, but there are only so many of them to go around. With Broome inhand, they can place Dells and Kates there and close off the Western approach. The Betties can then deploy from PM and the result is the same, but the Betties will then have a greater influence in Coral Sea ops.
The Australian HQ has decided that priority one is to kick the yellow b*stards out of Australia
