Here's my heavy guns headed to Port Moresby. I don't know how well you can see this but that minelaying ship finally arrived at PM and
laid a minefield and is now tending to it. So Port Moresby is as well protected as I can make it now. Now that the heavy guns have
arrived I can ship in some more people to PM and try to stabilize the situation.

This is the turn I receive the services of the CV Junyo at Nagasaki. I'm shipping an escort to her and I'm thinking she should join the fleet
at Wake. As soon as the escort arrives she shall set sail. She's got 42 brand new planes aboard and will make a welcome addition to
the warfighting.

Okay......it's Sat. pm and I've received Jim's moves.

This is some of the Tracker Alerts. It says I've received the Yamoto BB. Cool.

We're starting to get spoilage in the fuel category at Miri so I'm turning off the refinery until I can haul some of that fuel away from there.

Here's the resources history of the Jap home islands:

I really have no explaination why these DMS ships ended up in that hex. I think maybe they reacted into the hex. I don't remember
giving them orders to sail into that hex. I'm flamoxed. Now DMS W-5 is the only undamaged DMS ship left.

A sub got a hit on one of my ships from inside the harbour to the port:

One of my subs is having a bad day:

My Zero's went on a sweep and got one:

Operation Beat Down continues at Manila:

And then my Betty's thought they ought to raid Georgetown:

Jim is winning the air war around Darwin. I need to be bombarding Darwin w/ some ships to put a dent in the ardour of those flyboys.

Here's the Jap aircraft situation in the Darwin area: The Zero's are using drop tanks to reach Darwin and they can't do that for very
long before the fatigue mounts up.

And then an Allied sub got a lucky hit:

Here's how it went on the ground at Manila: I've got orders in to the LCU's in Bataan to move them to Manila so pretty soon we'll have
some extra hands to help in the push. I've got plans to bring my remaining DMS boat to Bataan and sweep up that minefield. Then I
can start bombarding Manila via boats. That will probably destroy all the industry in Manila but at least it will rid me of Allies faster.

And so I finally captured Bataan. I'm moving all the Jap LCU's to Manila.

This is how it went on the ground in Java:

Here's the combat report in case you wanted to know how the China attacks came out:

Did I happen to mention that no industry failed this time. I turned off the oil refinery at Rangoon so it wouldn't fail but it's too low on oil to
continue without an infusion of oil. I'll have to see what I can do about that. Not much probably.

When mine sweepers are sent to a specific hex, they try to sweep mines in the surrounding hexes as well. I am not sure if it works the same way when you set a Patrol for them.
