My carriers start off on the wrong foot here, which leaves New Guinea open for an attack. Fortunately, I have some subs and the RAAF to back me up, but it might be a bridge too far, so to speak. Meanwhile, we chase down the Ruyijo and keep the supplies coming. The next episode will be crucial, so I hope to see you all there and hope you enjoy this one too!

Wanna buy me a coffee? Thanks much, but I'd appreciate it if you kicked a couple of bucks to preserve World War II aviation instead. Check these guys out:

Good folks. Helluva collection they got, and your donation will go to people who are doing their best to preserve the past.
Not into aviation? No problem. Battleships could use some love too:

BB62 a little modern for you? There's a dreadnaught who could use your help as well:

BZ, gentlemen.
