13 May 1942
Mostly uneventful. I made an attack at Nadi, reducing forts to 0, casualties higher on our side but not enough that I'm worried. The crippled I-20 is reporting damage control failure events and might not make it back. Kates reported 2 sub hits off Fiji.

I-122 hit a mine trying to lay a minefield at Perth and sank. Live by mine, die by the mine. The I-164 sank a cargo ship approaching Socotra with a pair of torpedo hits.

Yamashiro shelled Nadi, which was enough to get us over the top--it's ours, finally. And we got to blow up 7 P-40s on the ground as a nice bonus. I also attacked in Sian, which held, but with squad destructions twice as high for the enemy, and they are getting a strength deduction for low supply levels. We're so close I can taste it. In Burma, he's begun making unescorted bomber raids on my paratroops in Magwe, which cost him 2 Audax bombers courtesy of Oscars on long-range CAP. The Burmese retook Meiktila as I am trying to concentrate my paras on taking Magwe.
