Status: offline 		Yes you're right there Mike, that TK is living a charmed life, and I have my fingers crossed that she can make Saipan.

Yes I did the Siggy myself, as I can double as a passable artist sometimes. Iv'e always liked that Pic of the Zuiho, as she is sort of thumbing her noise at the USN SBDs.

The Hunting Force north of Babeldaob, intercepts and lets an enemy xAK sail on (how neighbourly).
While also overnight USN SSs make numerous attacks on my shipping off the landing beaches, lucky missing with all their torps, but then my covering ASW units scored no hits in these shallow waters (right neighbourly again).

On the plus side I had got an Engineer, AA, and airfield units though to Saipan. I have also had two nice fat convoys on the Babeldaob run, one containing 45,000 supplies, and 25,000 fuel. While the other one is carrying a JNAF base force and a JNAF air flotilla HQ, which would have put a spanner in the System if intercepted.

I had one very good success overnight, when one of my southern merchant cruisers intercepted an Allied convoy. This convoy probably originated in New Zealand, and was undoubtedly steaming to Pago Pago, then on to the US West Coast. Was well worked over by IJNS Hokoku Maru, and will hopefully lead to two sinks.

Day Time Surface Combat, near Eua at 143,180, Range 19,000 Yards

Japanese Ships
AMC Hokoku Maru

Allied Ships
xAK Californian, Shell hits 1
xAK Kansan
xAK Sagadahoc, Shell hits 8, heavy fires, heavy damage
xAK Harry Luckenbach, Shell hits 3
xAK Liberty Glo, Shell hits 5, on fire
xAK Comliebank, Shell hits 2

I am starting to wonder about my Intel reading abilities, as Michael really out-foxed me north of Saipan. Plus the Wildcats still appear to be on Wake, and there is no sign of the southern USN Carrier what so ever. There is also no sign of Force Z, and I’m wondering if it might be operating in the southern DEI, where it could cause some real damage.

But the real-estate grab goes well, with Nauru Island, Ternate, and Sorong all falling into my hands. But Jolo Island should also been on the list, but I forgot to unload the SNLF company last night. This of course is a bright thing to do in such hostile waters, especially with those damn S-boats bound to gather.

Truk.
144th infantry regiment, and lll/66 naval guard unit have both landed at Truk overnight, and during the day. They will put in a DA attack tomorrow, and will hopefully storm Truk. While there is an Allied task force, just south of Truk, that may contain some Allied cruisers or not. If it is an Allied cruiser force, they will come up against Goto's cruisers.

Ternate.
USS Huston bombarded the airfield at Ternate overnight, and destroyed the AV support the, along with damaging 4x A6M2's. This action affectively shuts down the CAP over Ternate, and probably the permanent loss of the 4x A6M2's.

Night Naval bombardment of Ternate at 78,102
Japanese aircraft
no flights
Japanese aircraft losses
A6M2 Zero: 4 damaged
Allied Ships
CA Houston
DD Whipple
DD John D. Edwards
DD Edsall
DD Alden
Japanese ground losses:
379 casualties reported
Squads: 3 destroyed, 4 disabled
Non Combat: 15 destroyed, 17 disabled
Engineers: 3 destroyed, 1 disabled

Airbase supply hits 8
Runway hits 26
Port hits 14
Port fuel hits 5
Port supply hits 7

Manila.
Michael uses his remaining P-40's to CAP Manila, which catches me out as I only swept Clark Field.
So that all his fighters are able to intercept my Port Attack -

Afternoon Air attack on Manila , at 79,77
Weather in hex: Heavy cloud
Raid detected at 102 NM, estimated altitude 14,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 35 minutes
Japanese aircraft
A6M2 Zero x 37
G4M1 Betty x 20
Allied aircraft
P-40E Warhawk x 46
Japanese aircraft losses
A6M2 Zero: 2 destroyed
G4M1 Betty: 9 destroyed, 1 damaged
Allied aircraft losses
P-40E Warhawk: 6 destroyed

Allied Ships
xAK Hinsang, Bomb hits 1, heavy damage

Port hits 1

But the problem is the great loss in very experienced aircrew, which will take awhile to replace. While I also have been outfoxed again, and should have spotted this in my air-recon. I have again suffered great loss of face, and can feel my face still stinging.
