23rd Dec 41
Borneo
Landings at Kuching. The Vildebeasts along the coast fail to take off. Hopefully they'll get going next turn.
Singers
The convoy carrying the Australian units is attacked by Betties about 100 miles out to sea. A flight of Buffaloes on CAP catches them and shoot down 4 for no losses! The convoy is untouched. I take back all my negative thoughts about the Buffaloes.
CenPac
A cat hits a sub loitering near Pearl. Hopefully an ASW tf can finish her off.
PI
Landings at Jolo. I've dispatched Force Z to see what they can do. I had meant to send her last run when I first spotted the fleet but I, err, um, forgot. it'll take two days for her to arrive so, knowing Force Z's rotten sense of timing, she'll find nothing more than Japanese soldiers standing on the beach laughing at them again.
I have a strange feeling Force Z might see some action this time and that it might not be for the best....
Indian Ocean/Capetown
The convoy carrying the British 18th Infantry division is on the map and should make Bombay in about 4 days. Once they arrive they are on their merry way to Calcutta.
West Coast
Sub attack on an ASW TF in the Pacific northwest. Neither side achieves much more than scare a few fish and a Cadborosaurus.
