Bangkok, ruled by our iron fist,
may help with rest
if you avoid like the pest
those ladyboys' feast

Beware soldiers of the Sun!

Sleek steel porpoises
Sink like rocks to the bottom
When bird poop blows up

The dauntless sparrow
Returns with many large friends
And drops his guano

------------------------------------------------------------

As I suspected, Excellency, the enemy carriers were indeed in the vicinity of Otorishima (Wake Island). Today they bombed my troops and airfield there. My surface ships all escaped unscathed, with my surface group now at Enewetok and a couple sets of merchants fleeing south and southwest. The enemy's timing was eerie: the moment I withdrew 機動部隊(KB) to Truk, the enemy CVs appeared at Wake. If I didn't know better, I'd say the enemy has broken my codes, hahahahahahahahaha! Seriously, he probably just got lucky.

So now the question is: do I divert "KB" from its intended mission, to cover the invasion of Rabaul and Port Moresby, and chase the enemy aircraft carriers? I suppose I need "KB" less in the South Pacific now that the position of the enemy carriers is known, but my adversary has proven willing to commit his surface ships to disrupt invasions, and I would prefer to face them with all my might, not just my surface ships alone. Also, Wake is at least 3 days' sail from Truk, and I'd like to take on new planes and pilots (and finish minor repairs) at Truk. I am inclined to wait a day to give "KB" time to get itself in order, but I am not sure.

Incidentally, my groups on "KB" have successfully "resized to fit carrier," and I am in a position to add aircraft and pilots to them. If I do this, will the aircraft repair (and pilots arrive) while I am at sea?

Owls, seagulls and ducks
Belong to the class Aves
They cannot be rabid

And yet Rabid Owl
sounds very much like Rabaul;
and Larks are there too.

I was right: you need a decoder ring to read this AAR.

You better watch out,
better not cry; better not
pout, telling you why...

Japan makes dumb move
Attacks the U, S, of A
Atom bomb will come

An airbase at Menado can provide LRCAP for invasions of Ambon and Kendari. If you go for Menado, however, be sure to bring enough troops. It is well garrisoned. A regiment would be good. Or three or four SNLF.

Edited: I should have said Menado instead of Ambon.

Ghosts roam Malaya
snatching sake, rice, and guns
for return to 'Nam.

---------------------------------------

Excellency, the laws of physics abruptly shifted over-night, and 200,000 tons of supplies suddenly vanished from Malaya and reappeared in Cam Ranh Bay, in Vietnam. My physicists assure me that this setback is temporary, and that quartermasters in individual bases in Malaya can request return of the missing sake and rice. And bullets.

In other news, our troops landed in Rabaul today, with no sign of enemy air or naval opposition. There is still a garrison of two units there, but they may be only fragments; I suspect the enemy has airlifted much of them out, probably to Port Moresby. We will start loading our invasion force for Moresby within the next few days.

If you go for Menado, however, be sure to bring enough troops. It is well garrisoned. A regiment would be good.

*bows to Cap-san * Thank you for the advice, Cap-san. Manado seems like a logical target, and I have a regiment available for the task. It will jump off in a day or two.
