This section covers a range of other events and reports that do not properly fit into the narrative of the war, or specialized sections such as Singapore and the Solomons with their own organizational pages. The main reason for building this separate section is to make these reports more easily found for reference while reading other sections.  Although these do not fit into the narrative, they can be read as fascinating sidebars or illustrations of the FFO war. These are not nearly complete at this time, but additions will be made whenever possible.

20 May 1942 to 31 August 1942	The Japanese attack across the Kokoda Track but the grit and gallantry of the Australian forces opposite is enpough to bring them to a halt before Port Moresby can be reached. Both sides are exhausted, but the Australians have the supply capabilities which helped bring them this success, and should rebuild faster.
27 June 1942 to 31 August 1942	The Japanese respond to Australian raids and patrols, pursuing them into the jungles of New Guinea. But in this area of mountainous jungle, where distance is measured in hours to walk relatively short distances, nothing is certain. Small Australian and native forces fight a heroic rear guard action in impossible conditions.
11 July 1942 to 31 August 1942	Australians attack along the Kokoda Track in incredible conditions.  They succeed in pushing the Japanese back to Kokoda by virtue of the same sheer bloody guts that stopped the Japanese attack in previous weeks. A few transport aircraft showed that they were worth their weight in rubies, bringing critical supplies to the strip at Myola.  Any doubt about the fighting capability of Australian Militia Force troops is removed.
2 August 1942 to 21 August 1942	The Japanese make an amphibious attack on Milne Bay. A few elderly warships provide cover and fire support, and mobility to land in unexpected places. Australian forces are levered out, and forced to give up the airfields and retire. RAN/RN forces attempt to intervene, but are unable to stop the Japanese.
22 August 1942 to 23 August 1942	Japanese submarine operations in the Atlantic.  After a difficult start to the war, the IJN submarine force needed to prove its worth to their war effort.  Therefore a number of large and long-ranged submarines were fitted out to attack the east coacst of the US, and continue on to France to exchange technology with the Germans. The midget submarine attacks met with mixed success, but the exchange of technology was beneficial to both sides.
22 August 1942 to 23 August 1942	Japanese special forces attack Panama Canal.  In a surprise move, as one of the operations the IJN submarine force needed to prove its worth to their war effort, a number of IJN submarines used their aircraft hangars to transport small craft to carry a raiding party ashore to attack the Pacific-end locks of the Panama Canal. The attack achieved surprise, and a fair degree of success.
