Near the Mollucs what i thought was a CS TF showed itself as a HUGE invasion TF with destination Ambon!. Seems that Rader wants to close the door for the evacuation towards Darwin...not much i can do to stop him at the moment...
Anyway, my brave brewster dutch pilots managed, during a serie of battles lasted 2 days, to shoot down 7 enemy float planes without losing a single plane of ours! Very good!![:D]

I won't copy everything here cause i think it's kinda boring for the readers... let's say that we haven't spotted a single landing in Malaya. His troops are taking the long route from alor Star, thus giving me time to organize a defensive perimeter around Singapore. He landed in other location in northern Borneo but nothing much happened. No sign of the baby KB...i'm getting nervous... i've seen that everyone uses the baby KB to support the operation in DEI-SRA....if she's not here...where is she deployed????
He keeps on landing in the Gilberts and Marshalls...i don't care much cause i have not any assets to face him there.
Japan landed also at Wewak...NG is becoming an active theatre!
