I'm going to have to look into why this raid was unescorted. And why the sweep went after this raid. The emperior is going to want
answers.

No Allied CAP on today's mission to Manila. Maybe that means I can transfer the fighters elsewhere now. Say out into the South Pacific.
Or maybe China to fight against the AVG.

And then another Manila air strike, also no CAP, maybe no AAA fire either, this time.

The P-40's at Darwin didn't seem to be much of a problem this time. Flak was the killer. But we got some hits. Jim is able to repair the
damage easily I'm betting. I've got to start hitting some of the planes on the ground to make a dent in his armour. Maybe I should
sweep Darwin with the Zero's, if they can reach that far.

And yet another unescorted raid on Singapore. Those Buffalo's are making this more expensive that it needs to be. I've got Oscars set
on sweep and they sweep and nothing happens. Then the raid happens and the Buffalos appear. D'oh.

And then some of my Sonia's and Oscar's wandered into a hornet's nest there at Wuchow. The AVG was active. I lost one of each in
this encounter.

Today I did the recon by bombardment to gauge what kind of opposition I have and now that I know I'm ready for the DA tomorrow.

TF 300 is the one with a lot of my KB carriers and that little full speed sprint has popped some things loose on a lot of the ships in the TF.
It looks like I need about a week in the repair ship yards of Kwajalein. That Allied TF has just dissappeared from the radar screen. I have
no idea where it went and none of the spotter planes has the clear skies to search well.

Tulagi is about to receive 2 AKE ships. There's already 2 at Shortlands so these two will augment the ammo-loading capability of the
southern island chain. I've build about 2 dozen or so of these AKE ships and I'm sprinkling them out to the outlaying islands so as to
be ready to dispense ammo when needed where needed.

The thin orange line defines my "front line" so to speak. I'm getting my picket ships all lined up and ready to move west. The idea is to
flush all the Allied ships to the east coast of Oz. Well, really it's to find the bombardment ships Jim used to bombard Port Moresby here
about two days ago now. I've got some heavy guns in the area and a carrier or two are handy now......time to go hunting for some Allied
ships.
