And then there is an Allied invasion close to home:

And then the Japs did a ground bombardment at Manila and hey, there were no Jap losses this time:

I don't remember ordering this attack so I'm guessing it's a stacking limits kind of thing or something. Anyway there was a ground
bombardment happen:

And then this attack happened:

And then the Allied forces bombard me at Batavia:

And then there was a bombardment attack at Port Moresby:

And here's the combat report for those of you who want to look something up:

TF 34 is taking close to 50K of fuel to Truk which is a good thing because I somehow let Truk get down to it's last 9K of fuel. I gotta
lighten up on the Black Label or something. But they will be there within a week easy. Maybe I should check to see if there's anybody
else going to Truk that's closer, while I'm thinking about it.

TF 35 is bringing about 45K of supplies to Cam Ranh Bay which needs supplies more than Truk needs fuel. These deliveries will help
keep the war going a couple of days longer. I can't just park the AK's somewhere out of the way and ignore them.......they are the life
blood of my war machine. I gotta keep 'em on the job, moving goodies back and forth.

I was horsing around in the industry display screen(s) and discovered to my dismay that Hankow doesn't have any
resource center but does have a light industry, one of whose inputs is resources. And Hankow is almost out of resources so I have
to put together a TF just to carry some resources to Hankow periodically for the rest of the game. D'oh. I wish I had known this earlier.

I got really curious and did a cut & paste of the LI and Resources cities and looked up all those cities that have more LI than resource
centers output and those cities I boxed in orange below. There's a lot of them. These are the ones that will probably need an input
stream of resources for the rest of the game eventually.

EDIT: I have since changed the stockpiling of resources for the orange boxed cities to "yes" so that resources would tend to gather
at those cites..

I just now discovered to my surprise that there's an Allied TF headed for one of my DD's and we may have some drama here pretty
soon. I'm planning on heading for the enemy TF w/ my DD and just trust that the mouseover is halfway accurate and one of the ships is
a TK and maybe there's more than one. Could be a CA or something like that. Nah, it's just another TK or something.

I'm going to put 50 mines in a minefield in Darwin's port just because I can.

We may have a situation developing here. There's an Allied TF leaving Midway headed SW and straight for my picket ships. If only I had
an AV to shine some light on what kind of ship(s) that TF has. What in the world kind of ship would Jim send out on it's own that way?
The mouseover says something about what kind of ship it is but I've been burned by FOW before and don't trust it's output. This is
probably a small ship of some kind.

TF 524 is my heavy guns in the Rabaul area and I've got them up in the port there at Townsville hoping to stir up some action-packed
drama of some sort. Nothing happened today, maybe tomorrow.

Jim sent me his moves so we're back in business. Here's some fresh combat reports:

There was some small drama at Port Moresby. Jim has damaged two of my ships and they are still on fire. I'm wondering if they will
make it to Buna since damage control isn't what the Allied damage control is. We'll see.

I-162 took a beating and is headed back to the ship repair yards at Oosthaven. At least they got the fire to go out.

And then there was a small furball over Malaya. It looks like some Hurricane's did a sweep over MY airfield. Cheeky.

And then some Nells did a strike on Singers:

And then some Bettys did a strike on Darwin. It appears that the Allied Warhawks need some additional training. No jap losses and
there was overwhelming odds too.
