I’m glad I sent Yamaguchi hunting and wonder at how things might be should the troops have turned up a Suva. I’d wager there would be quite some focus on the tussle for Suva.

So those 2 special attack units did arrive at Rabual filled out with their aircraft that I am not producing. I’ve decided to equip them with pilots and send them to Port Moresby to see what they can do when the next 4E bomber raid arrives.

I’ve long expected an Allied aerial response to my LCUs chasing the hapless Allied forces. Whilst suffering acceptable lost squads the level of disruption caused to the 3 Japanese Infrantry divisions has put the kibosh on any contemplation of a general attack. I expect the Allies will now manage to make good on their escape. Todd, I am sure will be hopeful that I continue the chase, but I’m not about to have my forces suffer the same treatment I’ve been handing out to his forces. Stalemate in India for a while I should think.
