July 19, 20, 21:
Port Augusta falls with first attack.
Any doubts about the rest of southern Australia eventually falling is removed from my mind now. I hope to get three divisions plus back to each Melbourne and Sydney to hold out for months.
Key: TT = Torpedo; bb = ground bombardment; c = casualties; b = base hits; s = supply hits; r = runway hits; p = port hits; AV = Assault Value; DC = Depth Charged; (*) = destroyed aircraft;
Subs:
Stingray is run over by KB and Co. on 19th off Ceduna
CVs: CV Saratoga and Lexington are 7 days away from upgrade repairs.
India/Burma:
China:
Yenan - Up to 23 Sally hit the AF daily
the daily ground bb attacks continue at 85, 43 (2 hexes due west of Loyang on trail)
Australia:
Broken Hill -
19th - 6th Guards Division is targeted, but a LRCAP of 12(3) Zero vs 8 Kittyhawks, 8 P-39s, and 23 Hudson = 60c; 65th Brigade is hit next as the LRCAP is down to only 4 Zero vs 11 P-39s, 11 Hudson, 5 A-29s = 14c; a single Zero is left for the third strike and my P-39s shoot it down as the 14th Guards Regiment is targeted by 10 P-39s, 5 Kitty, 32 Wirraway = 48c; my favorite Allied medium bombers come in next as 15th Guards Regiment is hit hard by 13 B-25, 33 B-26 = 296c; The tanks are finally targeted as 6th Tank Regiment as 9 B-26 = Vehicles lost 10 (3 destroyed, 7 disabled); 4th Tank Regiment vs 8 B-26 = Vehicles lost 12 (2 destroyed, 10 disabled);
20th - the battle moves to one hex to the SE and my fighters fail to escort the bombers  ; 3rd Tank Regiment has 12 Zero as LRCAP as 19(2) Wirraway and 8(1) B-18s = Vehicles lost 4 (2 destroyed, 2 disabled); 14 Zero vs 13(4) Wirraway, 6(2) Hudson, 5 B-18s = 0;
Back at Broken Hill, only 4(1) Zero are on LRCAP for the 6th Guards Division vs 8 Kitty, 8 P-39s, 10 B-25s, 45 B-26s = 522c; multiple small strikes continue to hit his troops;
21st - the battle remains 1 SE of the base; I have an air group of P-39s on sweep, P-40 on LRCAP, and another P-40 on Escort duty; his Zeros don't fair well  ; 3rd Tank Regiment has 32(12) Zero on LRCAP, but are no match for 22(1) P-39s and 22 P-40s;

"The Art of the Retreat" - It seems I've still got a lot to learn here.  Another division is highly disabled and I doubt it will make it to eventual safety (Melbourne). I did not initiate the retreat when i knew he had brought 4 divisions ashore and faced a stack of troops with minimum prep levels.

Wellington - the first two of four transport TFs from Melbourne have reached safety.
Notes:
Australia - Any doubts about Nick going for the rest of Australia is removed during these turns. He had triggered Emergency Reinforcements on July 11th, but I didn't mention it then as I was unsure if he knew then. No free Intel. Now, I have decided to withdraw into the two big urban bases and see if they can last. Hopefully, I can get enough troops there, but some of my extra American BFs will be left out to be destroyed. Too many mouths to feed. Stay tuned!!
Gilberts - The supply TF with 150k will leave San Fran tomorrow for Christmas Island.
