Nothing worth reporting... quiet as it gets.

12 April 1942
Sian roadblock holds

China
A single Hawk fighter appeared over Kanshein, which I've been bombing pretty much daily in preparation for my troops to arrive. Our raid was unescorted; 2 Maries were shot down. I've cancelled these raids for the time being while I transition some more Nate squadrons to Oscars.

The reverse force south of Sian, combined with the armor detached from my main force, attempted to dislodge the blocking force but failed. As we've seen many times before, the number of units destroyed sharply favored us. I'm still not thrilled about taking the casualties though, so I'm just going to have my main force back up and finish these guys.

SOPAC
A Betty on ASW patrol out of Noumea claimed a hit on an enemy sub.

Industry
The Ki-45 Nick is now in production, a few weeks early--they normally arrive in May. Probably not worth the R&D cost, I'll do something else with these R&D plants next time.
