The 'Big E' looks good, thanks.

The CV is aborted.

On what CV does the CVP land?

Soryu is good, thanks.

The US force remain in the sea area.

Does Japan abort or stay?

Note that the 2 Japanese CVP are on the aborting carrier. And the 5 strength US CVP is also on a aborting carrier.

Japan aborts.

Send the TRANS and the 2 4-factor CA's to Osaka. The rest returns to Tokyo. Thanks.

The US CV aborts to Hawaii.

To tired to try and intercept with the submarines. [:D]

That ends the naval combat, and the action for this evening. I expect to continue with our impulse tomorrow.

I suspect they are waiting until just before the turn ends when they will inevitably find the convoys and cause the usual mayhem.

I would like that. But I doubt they will dare to try with all the escorts.

Although I might feel lucky and change my mind. [:D]

If I added it up correctly, the Japanese lost Hiryu, Kako, 4 CVPs and 3 pilots (including one CVP that went down with the Hiryu) to an Allied loss of, um, nothing. That hurts.

About par for me these days [:(]

No strategic bombing. No Ground Strikes.

One Spanish Corps rail from southern Spain to Bilbao.

CW forces liberate Cadiz and Valencia. 1st South-African Corps advance slowly from Port Sudan towards Eritrea.

Philippine forces moves southwards, from Manila, towards the Japanese landing.

Over to Lord Warspite1 for the 2nd part of our impulse.

There is just one attack this turn. One of the two pesky partisans in Malaya feels the brunt of Indian Army mechanised forces and swiftly shuffles off this mortal coil.
