Mine are at Melbourne repairing minor damage and having the remaining SBD group fill out after re-sizing to 36.
India/Burma:
Schwebo
4th - 42 Tojo sweep in despite the severe storms. 17 Hurricanes and 14 P-40s are there as LRCAP from Katha and Kalemyo. I do well this time as he loses 4 to my 2. 35 more Tojos come in to see my LRCAP down to 12 fighters. I lose two of them. 92 Oscars with 45 Helens attack two BFs. The skies are now clear for the afternoon sweep of 30 Tojo vs 26 P-40/Hurricanes. I lose another 4 fighters to 2 for Japan.
5th - battle shifts to over Mandalay
6th - 6 of 22 Oscars are lost, but get the 50 Helens by the 17 P-40/Hurricanes to attack my tanks. I lose 2 vehicles with 6 disabled. The 37 Tojo sweep in 'after' to find I still have 13 fighters on LRCAP. I lose 3:1. Another 42 Tojo sweep in to destroy 2 more fighters.

I saw this coming a few turns ago, but was unable to get sufficient troops back from the west. A lesson learned, but not too expensive of one, except the number of vehicles lost.
Mandalay
5th - I lose 2 of 27 P-38Fs vs 57 Tojo on 5th as I try to clear the way for my B-24s to hit his troops and hopefully slow down his crossing of the Irrawaddy River back into Shwebo. The 26 P-38Es destroy 4 Tojo in the second sweep (observation - my first sweep usually comes out on losing end of A2A, but the second sweep usually does very well). Only 20 B-24s attack the troops and face 37 Tojo and 4 Nicks on CAP. I lose one, but hit do hit the 23rd Division lightly.
6th - 21 P-38Es go in again and find 44 Tojo. I lose 3:1. 5 B-24s find 33 Tojo on CAP. 21 P-40Ks sweep in now to still find the 33 strong Tojo CAP. Again, I lose 3:1.

South -
Australia:
Lord Howe Island - 6 Beaufort VIII reach out from the mainland to attack 2 DD without success just NE of island. 13 B-25D1s come in at 1000' to straf and bomb the 4 DDs off the island. I get 3 bomb hits on DD Isonami, sinking her.   36 Australian Mitchells from Brisbane hit the troops as I stand down 48 B-24 BG at Sydney. They join 73 B-17/24s attacking the AF and troops.
From Melbourne, I have two SC TF each with 2 Cleveland CLs, 4 Fletcher DDs, and 2 Mahan DDs patrolling to the west of island to see if I can intercept the Fast Transport TF off to the east.
Winton - My tank force here is attacked by 27 Helens at 6000' with 13 escorting Oscars on 6th. I have one vehicle destroyed and 29 disabled.
Note to self - have an AA unit with your tank units moving cross country in clear terrain.
South Pacific: -
Multiple TFs headed for Australia
Central Pacific: -
North Pacific:
Engineering: - Wotje P3; Ceduna AF4; Attu P2; Wotje F1; Abadan AF8; Amchitka AF5; Nauru F5;
Notes:
Burma - I learned a lesson here about ensuring my bases are properly garrisoned. Thanks to some recent postings by Jocke and Crackace I got needed feedback on my supply situation that I've taken steps to correct. I will need to retake Shwebo and build up the AF before going further. My P-40Ks have done well and I'm on the wrong side of the numbers every time in A2A combat with his Tojo. My pools of P-40s is deep, so I can afford some attrition. Overall, I'm far enough into Burma that it will become mine around the Irrawaddy river sooner, rather than later.
