Fiji
Hiei and Kirishima shelled Nadi, hoping to cause enough disruption for our troops to finally break out of the beachhead. We didn't quite get through--forts are down to level 1, squad destruction was low and about even, while we had more squads disabled. The bombardments are clearly working, though. It isn't helping that the second division we landed wasn't prepped for this in advance and ended up taking a lot of disablements upon landing, if they'd been at full strength we'd just roll over them.

Sweeps took care of 1 of 2 P-40s still trying to defend Nadi.


Burma
Our paratroopers tried again to take Magwe but failed. Light casualties.
