17 November 1943
Last US Troops on Tinian surrender
CENTPAC
See the headline. It's over.
At least we'll still get Truk. Probably.
Celebes Sea
We've landed base forces on Talaud-eilanden , a small island south of Mindanao. Just like with Celebes, this base will help provide air cover to get to Mindanao.
The issue with that is that with the Marianas defense concluded, enemy troops, ships, and airpower might start making their way here to contest all this.
DEI
We lost a B-24 bombing Kendari to flak.
I'm rotating bombers through Ambon, Koepang, Kendari, and Makassar right now. Just trying to drain their supplies. Ambon and Koepang already look done for. I'll get some troops there as soon as things settle down around Darwin, the port is extremely busy as a hub for land forces being brought in from the former frontlines of the Pacific, as well as being a supply base for all the little bases we're trying to support here.
Burma
One the same note as DEI, Rangoon looks cooked and ready to take. I'm going to wait a few days to land another division of troops at Pegu, then it's on.
Reinforcements
DD Erben arrives at Balboa
AR Briareus arrives at San Francisco
34th Aviation Base Force arrives at San Francisco
