29 August 1942


South China Sea
A coastal minesweeper--probably Miri/Brunei's--is attending to the minefield I left in the shallows leading to the Philippines. It spotted the O20 there and briefly engaged it unsuccessfully.

Bay of Bengal
HMS Ramillies is about to arrive in Colombo after being repaired at Cape Town. It was intercepted by a submarine, but the two destroyers escorting it home spotted the sub and depth charged it for moderate damage.

Burma and Thailand
We swept Tavoy hard today, but most flights had no joy as most of the enemy fighters were in the next hex over guarding Bangkok's armies and couldn't be baited to react. Overall losses here: 2 Oscars, a Zero, 3 Hurricanes, 1 B-25.

Solomons
No joy for the P-38s, the KB was long gone.

China
We shot down 5 Zeroes while losing only 2 P-40s over Chengchow.

Reinforcements
90th BG/320th BS arrives at Eastern USA (this is the last of the 90th BG, Liberators I'm shipping to China)
G/H Battery Heavy Coastal Artillery Regiment arrives at Sydney
73rd Motorised Brigade arrives at Madras
