War in the Pacific AAR Thread - ML vs JFranzen

[Molon Labe]

9 November 1943

Japan
USS Searaven torpedoed and destroyed a PB (215 tons) off Aogoshima.


CENTPAC and Truk
Another ground attack on Tinian, 797(J) to 174(A). The balance is really starting to tip as our supplies are running out and we can't reactivate disabled units.

Both carrier battle groups are holding back, me avoiding Saipan's airpower and him not wanting to leave it. I'm favoring hitting Truk with battleships to try to wear down their fighter support. I have one ready and a second that needs to rearm.


Reinforcements
LSD Gunston Hall arrives at Los Angeles
LST-78 arrives at Cristobal
No.134 Sqn RAF arrives at Aden
243 Wing arrives at Aden

---
Kind of a nothing turn.
All over bases in the Pacific I've got ships removing land units no longer needed there and moving them to Darwin. I'm getting ready to try to eliminate Ambon and Koepang.
