Bad weather prevented KB from flying strikes - and stopped at least two Betty missions. Just bad luck. The Allies had bad luck with submarines - especially a magazine explosion on a battleship. Allied carriers and Force Z again elude detection.
Axis river vessels show their worth - especially the ancient "heavy cruisers" (protected cruisers) of pre WWI vintage.

Force Z also detected - passing overhead East of Banka Island - running for Batavia.
In spite of no sense of where to find the Allied carriers, Enterprise turned up running for Pearl Harbor - possibly with empty decks. Her planes appear to have managed attacks from LAND - reinforced by numbers of land based fighters - catching KB off guard.

The Allies apparently had favorable support from the weather gods - so Hawaii was generally socked in
enough to prevent air strikes - but not enough to prevent launching them. Even so - the Allies did
badly in air combat - and not just near Hawaii. The exchange rate was 19.5 : 1 in air combat - amazing
given the exhausted state of Japanese aircrew.

The Japanese offensive seems to have momentum in China, Luzon and Malaya - but the long raid on Pearl Harbor seems finally to have ended (something that seemed to happen once before - we will see). China, however, is taking the offensive upriver from Wuhan, at Ichang, with a very rare naval bombardment by ROCN, RN and USN gunboats, followed by bomber attacks and ground action. And the Vildebeeste continues to sink ships near Shanghai - not least because of help from the weather gods which kept most combat air patrols on the ground and which prevented bomber attacks at the bases in the South of Malaya.

Note the last attack of the day, the assault on Legazpi, was a second leapfrog assault by an airborne SNLF made from an airfield in Northern Luzon
it had captured on the second day of the war. This game has a lot of the more mundane use of air transports, to move supplies, and to move important
units to forward bases rapidly - but the headlines always go to the air assaults. To capture a forward field, move in air transports and supplies, and stage a second landing in half a week is not easy. In this case, the ground support landed in the wrong place, had to re-embark, and reland - and then march overland to the base - but it still happened.

Since KB needed to refuel it isn't causing a ruckus - although its tanker escorts managed to sink a liner after two days of trying. Land combat in Malaya, Luzon and China. Northern Borneo and Northern New Guinea both invaded for the first time. The USN had extraordinary bad luck with torpedo rolls - scoring absolute zero.

The Imperial Japanese Air Force has decided to recommend a USAAF
fighter pilot (Morton, J.L. I think) for the Supreme Order of the Chrysanthemum -
the Japanese Medal of Honor. The only pilot at Baguio City, in two sortees,
he faced multiple raids, consistently penetrating superior numbers of fighters
to engage enemy bombers. He is credited with 7 victories by the Japanese,
including a Zero and two other fighters. [In The Hunting of Force Z, the tale is told
of a Japanese Nell returning to the coordinates of the battle, to drop wrieths of
flowers over the hulls of Repulse and Prince of Wales, because of the "gallant"
resistance they put up.]

Otherwise, new amphibious assaults at Miri, Shortlands and Davao, as well as more combat in China. In Malaya and Luzon, troops are moving to contact - so nothing exciting beyond air strikes. And KB remains invisible - has it retired?

I hope it is clear to the Allied player - and to all observers - that guerillas in RHS are not just small land combat units. They are self sustaining units. In China, we see no less than three fighting as regulars alongside a corps at a city in North China - which is not how to use these units. They should be on the enemy LOC - cutting his supplies and distracting his units into chasing them instead of attacking cities like this one. They come in two flavors in China - ROC and RED. ROC guerillas will tend to be at 2/3 strength over time - RED ones at full strength. There are others - over time and in many places - but in general communist ones are more effective - including one led by Kim Il Song forming in Russia - one each on the big islands of Indonesia EXCEPT Java - where the natives were pro Japanese - one at start in Vietnam and several later on - these are communist guerillas and as such are mobile and tend to grow to full size. Others tend to plant - only want to stay in one place (although the first one in Indochina also is 'planted' - it is the Provisional Government of Northern Tonkin - not a Viet Minh battalion). But under pressure of combat, the planted ones will become mobile - and will replant if they get in good shape.

Otherwise, the first assault on Manila didn't take the city, but revealed a weak defense (you can tell by the casualty ratio and lack of forts). Japanese assaults on undefended positions went off, of course, and fighting in China generally favored the Japanese. But most places, other than sub/anti-sub action, were quiet - as units are moving to contact.
