OOC: No sweat, Proud.

Coral Sea:

The Kampf captains observe the explosions and conclude that many submarines were sunk. But they are mistaken as the torpedoes and depth charges have been lured away by countermeasures. As they are significantly faster than the Millenium escorts and their ASW weapons, the 236 and Shadow Wolf subs make high-speed passes on the Kampfs, destroyers and frigates which have survived the Cobra air strike, sinking and disabling most of them. Meanwhile, the heavy AFOH units, covered by radar-guided Mk 45s and Phalanx CIWS of the escorting destroyers, fire ERGMs at the Fuhrers and Conquerors as they close in. Despite suffering gun and missile hits and assisted by more inbound Cobra flights, they rake the Millennium ships, turning several into smoldering wrecks. Then the Shadow Hawk hunter-killers pounce on the slower Schweigens, taking most of them out before assisting in the attack on the enemy heavy battleships and carriers.

High above Papua New Guinea, 4th Air Fleet radar controllers detect the Confederate vessels moving out of the Bismarck Sea in the mistaken belief that Millennium naval forces are succeeding in the Coral Sea. They frantically radio the Confederate fleet to halt, at the same time warning the formation guarding the Vitiaz and Dampier Straits (composed of Force E and Confederate units) that they may be on their own,

Southern Front:

The Cauldron pocket is finally erased. Several thousand Millennium troops surrender, but most of the elite naval infantry go down fighting. Without pause, the SAU divisions regroup to strike the southern flank of the newly-formed defense line of the Millennium forces east of Kerema, while the Rapid Reaction Corps makes a frontal attack to pin them down.

Northern Front:

The joint AFOH- JMAGTF offensive across the Mambare gathers momentum. Wau is retaken, but even as advance units approach Lae reports of massive Millennium reinforcements coming from Wewak start to concern Coalition commanders.
