Eighteen Zeros and 6 Nicks encountered 42 B-17Es over Milne Bay today. No losses on either side.
SRA
Nothing to report.
Burma
The 3 tank regiments (plus arty and engineers) are still pushing east into China from Burma and pushed the rabble in front of them into Tsuyung. Intel says there are about 4k enemy troops there. They're already moving into the base. Their final goal (for now) is Kunming, with its HI and LI. Two of the 3 tank regiments (and the engineer and artillery regiments) will form the 1 Tank Division when the remainder of the units of that division arrive. They are just leaving Keijo, so it'll be awhile.
There were 7 surviving units from the Allied garrison at Shwebo. Three were in the open to the NE of Shwebo and the other 4 are in the jungle to the NW of that hex. I trashed the 3 in the open today pushing them up the rail line. They lost over 600 squads to my 2.
I'll chase them down and destroy them and then go after the other four.
China
Some Helens bombed Chungking's airfield (this is a daily occurrence). Today they destroyed an SB-III on the ground and added to the airfield damage there.
Other Stuff
Reinforcement
AMc Tamazono Maru #2 - will convert to a 12 kt PB. (Torpedo magnet.)

SE Fleet
I rested my Zeros and Nicks today. Ted didn't and bombed Milne Bay and Lae.
SRA
I attacked Cebu today. There are the remnants of a Philippine Division and some other riff raff. Unfortunately, the 65 Brigade was given the mission and they were not up to it. I sent in the Ichiki Det. to reinforce them. They got about 1.5:1 odds and reduced the fort to level 0. I'll try again later.
Burma
There was no air combat today.
China
The daily bombing of Chungking damaged a few SB-IIIs and added a little to the airfield damage.
Other Stuff
Something sank right at the beginning of the turn. Probably one of the xAKLs at Darwin hit a couple of days ago.
