Message from Japanese:
I'll play this to alter the intel condition and react. I use the logistics value of this card for number of activations, but the OC value of your card for movement. This may be a short game indeed, putting my nav air on the line.

Activation: Any HQ. Logistic Value: 5 Intelligence: Surprise Attack Conditions: A maximum of one ground unit may be activated for this Offensive.

OC: 3 EC: 0

Message from Allies:
Amphibious invasion of Guadalcanal (shocker!) :-)

* 4826 (Efate): 1 MAW moves to 4825 (Espiritu Santo)
* 4828 (Noumea): [CV Enterprise] moves to 4525

* 4828 (Noumea): BB North Carolina moves to 4423 (Guadalcanal)
* 4828 (Noumea): CA Northampton moves to 4423 (Guadalcanal)

After saving the logfile, I realized that the CVs need to be one hex closer in 4524 to cover Guadalcanal, so assume I moved them there instead.
