Gato sinks during the day. AI us hurting me here as it auto disbands any sub damaged in the area. The subs is then stuck for 3 days in the yard before I can get it out. [:(] Going to have to pull the subs soon. I´ll relocate them to NORPAC and OZ.
KB makes another attack. 6 Kates and 2 Vals lost. [:)]

Nick manages to sneak a TF into the Indian Ocean and land undetected on Cocos. Dang. Its time to leave now as he will have Nav seach up and running shortly.
Dutch air force launches for the last time in the war. No hits scored. What few planes are left are disbanded creating 2 small groups. They are now all that remains of the Dutch air force. The Brit and NZ squadrons leave for OZ. Last remaining US Catalinas leave for Ceylon to bolster NavSearch in the IO.
My favorite sub Trusty gets into position in the Malaccas. Results are instant! [&o]

Movement has stopped in the North. Sending recon there to make sure he isn´t trying to flank around to the North. Also starting to see some movement in the eastern flank.
Nick continues to pound the roadblock towards Sian. This might be his next push.
