Load the attached planeside into the ART folder to fully appreciate this turn. This turn has some updated pointers and some new art resulting in the first appearances of Ki-33 and BR-20 in combat with tops - and other things.
Submarines on both sides scored. Landings in the Visayas and on New Britain were prosecuted successfully to day. KB struck Darwin with remarkably little effect. It has split again - and is both East and West of that city. Burma battalions fared particularly badly against enemy assaults.

Having spotted E13A1 aircraft yesterday several times, I assumed there might be enemy cruisers nearby. I stood to the (torpedoed) battleship West Virginia with
every destroyer in port as a surface guard force, just in case a bombardment
or surface raid was attempted. Many transports were unloading troops, aircraft, fuel and supplies. The following action might be termed a draw tactically, but I consider it a strategic victory - loading continued without losses - and one further transport with escort were able to dock and start unloading as well.

The battle for New Caledonia is this campaign's Guadalcanal. It is beyond the range of effective land based air support for both sides. Neither side has carriers nearby either. A large 3 regiment (6 battalion) brigade landed at the North end of the island several days ago - and presumably is marching South. Another landed today - halfway down the island. So the situation is very grave. An entire Aussie Militia division is ashore - a US division is landing - two specialist medium coast defense regiments are dug in - and there are several other units on the defense side. Only Noumea is an airfield, but few aircraft are operational - two detachments of search planes and one of bombers as of today.

This turn saw modest exploitation of the existing situation by Japanese
forces as well as movement to contact. It was very efficient in terms of
aircraft casualties - only 3 planes lost due to attrition. An attack in
central New Caledonia revealed two baby (six battalion three regiment)
"division-brigades" - an RHS usage permitting the nominal brigade
formations to divide into three parts as well as the South Seas (Nanyo)
144th Regimental Combat Team. Presumably one of these units walked
down the road, only to be joined by others in yesterday's landing. This
implies a major investment of the island - not merely an attempt to capture it.

USS South Dakota - "victor" of yesterday's naval battle at Noumea - has
62% system damage, 60% flotation damage and significant engine damage -
and may only make one hex a day. It is out of the early part of the war
even if it survives. It was, however, able to refuel (at sea) and is trying
to make Sydney with four somewhat damaged destroyers in escort.

A division of the Kiddo Butai struck Balikpapan airfields from the SW -
it being near the SE "corner" of Borneo. Sinkawang was captured -
the few remaining infantry died in air strikes before hand. [Most
of this unit either was evacuated to Java or sunk while loading to
that end.] Another invasion force proceeded Northwest, up the Malacca
Strait - destination unknown - with apparently four ASW groups - two
in close escort - but still managed to have a transport take a torpedo.

No force of enemy warships was reported present,
and I wrongly estimated no such force would exist after
the battle at Noumea.

Two divisions of the KB continued to strike near New Caledonia -
lacking ships in sight and hampered by bad weather they went
for Noumea airfield late in the day. The third division linked
up with four small carriers to engage shipping at Oosthaven on
the Southern (using our map - actually Eastern) tip of Sumatra -
probably expecting to find troopships evacuating the island.
What they found was tankers evacuating the products from
Palembang - long since unsafe to sail into.
