Nothing major has changed.

Today I finally launched the LRCAP operation over Moulmein. Very good results, 58 bombers destroyed at a cost of 32 fighters. His single Sweep only came in after all the bombers :-)

I now have a Nick jockey with 6 kills, who is not far from the top of the leader board. The way I am playing does not lend itself to pilots living long enough to get a big score ...

----------------------------------------------
We have installed the map with stacking limits.

I have two slightly over-stacked bases - Chichi-Jima and Iwo-Jima. An amphibious TF is on its way, I just need to decide what to remove. There are some whopping arty units at both places, perhaps those.

For his part, "China is a mess", so we have agreed a ceasefire there until he can sort it out. I was not doing anything there anyway except bombing Sian and Chungking occasionally.

The Ki-84a Frank has become available. I have converted 5 factories over (from Oscar, Tojo & Tony). When they are repaired they will produce up to 106 Franks a month.

It looks like Eniwetok is the next target in the Pacific.

Tavoy has fallen. There was nothing there except for a sound detector :-)

He has still not bombed my Thai airfields. The Nicks had quite a good day attacking a heavily escorted transport convoy unloading at Rangoon.

He has taken 4 bases in the DEI south of Ambon via air assault, and it looks like he will be landing troops by sea to reinforce.

I have been expecting moves in this area for some time now, but I will not oppose him seriously. Just a few air attacks from Ambon.
