RFB/RSRDC...Second patrol...completed first two objectives in the North and Central Makassar Strait off east coast of Borneo.

HQ told me to stay in this area in vicinity of the Borneo port of Balikpappan as long as I have adequate supplies (no objective specifically given)...just stay on station.

I assume HQ expects the Japs to proceed with their southerly expansion to take Borneo/Jawa,etc. and this strait would be the route they use.

With RSRDC is this assumption correct...does HQ usually have good intel as two where I should patrol?

Or should I try my luck father north around the Philippine Islands?
