Feb 1st 1942,
Not much, I need to deliver 3000 supply to my forces at Pearl.
Ive sent barges, but as barges not landing crafts....
They are at Pearl but not unloading. have not been engaged by CDs either so I dont know if it is going to work.
We will see today.
If not, I will create several transport TFs with small amount of supplies loaded on every AK. I will try to deliver in the night and hopefully not every single ship send there will be sunk by CDs and some will unload and MAYBE some will come back to Lahaina.
Land forces are organizing nicely. Will be ready in 2-3 days. With supply the assault should start in 2 - 3 days.
Some bombing with good escort. All of my fighters were resting doing CAP over my ports at Lahaina and Kona.
Tomorrow, they will LRCAP PH with over 80 zeroes.
I have chosen LRCAP rather than sweep as I want to damage and destroy as many of his fighters as I can before I will start to sweep the base. Escorting Fighters are much easier targets than CAP ones.
However:
He is bombing and escorting and got some CAP in the very same hex too, so it will be very, very interesting to see what will happend tomorrow.
