ive set up 2 small routine convoys between GC, to Russell and Tulagi

the invasion of Munda is still on, and will begin in about one week

theres only about 4000 troops there and theres been a heavy aerial blockade, so i dont expect much resistance, but i will stiilll land an RCT and the Raiders, plus support and artillery along with seabees to make sure history doesnt repeat and Munda is secured quickly for preps to take Buin in about a month
