Western Front in 1942
The Royal Navy is broken, but it does not mean that the British cannot rebuild their forces. Therefore, the Luftwaffe continued to bomb British ports in spring 1942.
From time to time the British try to move their forces from or to southern English ports. The results are usually disastrous, as the bulk of German navy is involved in patrols of that region.
As usual, any attempt at engaging our CTF by the enemy SAG is bound to fail. Our sailors actually started to feel safe in hostile sea zones. Kriegsmarine dominance is unquestioned, although it should be noted that our navy partially relies on aircraft support.
In early May our CTF intercepted a small enemy patrol with two carriers. We lost a light cruiser in the battle that followed. Our doctrine does not allow us to ignore such losses - the enemy simply had to suffer greater casualties on its own.
A retaliatory attack performed by our light and medium bombers was devastating. In spite of the fact that we lost many planes in the attack, the Royal Navy lost at least one carrier and a heavy cruiser. Therefore, its potential got even lower.

The Far East
The Japanese managed to break a very long stalemate that characterised the situation in China for more than a year and is now pushing hard into the Chinese interior regions. From our perspective it is not good at all, because it means that neither side will achieve total victory in the near future. The chances for opening up a second front in the Axis war with the Comintern are now minimal.
