Huon Penninsula:

With AFOH forces holding the bridgehead (including Lae), the 36th LID having also been feried across from New Britain, Coaltion forces under the JMAGTF enter Papua New Guinea (via transports across the straits or via aerospace ships). Vautours shift from their long-range interdiction mission to bomb the frontline, supported or escorted by Diables, while Griffons, supported by artillery, start blasting corridors into the Millenium units. After the initial AFOH onslaught, the JMAGTF launchesthe main attack.

(OOC: Proud, I leave the succeeding posts for this front to you.)

Buzzard's Tail:

The massive Millenium bombardment was the worst since the first day of the war. By not holding fixed postions and staying mobile, AFOH forces weather the attack and turn back Millenium advances. Covered by H Force, the first units of the Rapid Reaction Corps (namely the 51st and 53rd LID) land to the east of Port Moresby. With these fresh troops, SOUTHCOM hopes to launch the counter-offensive that will form the southern pincer of the Coalition advance.

In the Coral Sea, and beyond the range of MCMs, H Force carriers launch waves of Vauoturs and Diables, soon joined by their land-based brethren, against the Millenium task force. Intense dogfights soon erupt with Adlers flying CAP, as AFOH pilots press the attack on the escort ships. Most of the targets are hit by radar and laser-guided bombs. Then the land-based Cobras, escorted by Durandals are unleashed on the Milllenium heavy units.
