So you don't forget to do so, build Karachi's fortifications. It is the easiest port on the west coast of India to resupply from Aden and Abadan. Consider hauling supplies to Abadan if he invades India.

Game is now mostly aerial bombardment of Bataan and Singapore.

Midget sub tried to sneak into PH on the 11th and was snagged in the anti-submarine nets.

Big news. Rabaul seems to finally be getting some attention

Lost an xAKL to sub attack just north of Soerobaja. This is the first sub loss in quite a while.

B-17s hit the oil at Miri again. Two IJN TFs are seen at that local. Perhaps some AS to allow fighters to be based there?

The first RGT of the Americal Div is unloading at Noumea
