Status: offline 		This is the first time that I try to play this scenario and to lead the SRA invasion therefore I lost a lot of time for the scenario start-up.

I didn't want to use the first turn movement for land everywhere, no HR and no request from my opponent, simply a my decision.

My overall strategy is easy:
First: invade Philippines and Malaya (main effort), take Tavoy and to hold the position
Second: take Kuching and Brunei.
Initially, I don't want to attack other bases out of range my LBs because I don't have CVs for support (only a CVL), moreover I don't know my opponent, is he aggressive or prudent?

Philippines
Batan: taken
Aparri, Vigan and Legaspi: invaded, I'm waiting the supply before to start a deliberate attack.
I shut down Clark Field with a concentrate air attack, next target Manila and then San Marcelino.

Malaya
Khota Baru invaded, Alor Star hit with LBs, Songkhia receive reinforcements.
Next step will be shot down Singapore.

Burma
Some units are travelling to Bangkok and then to Tavoy.
In this sector I don't think to start offensive operations but besiege Tavoy, I prefer to take the Malaya first.

I will post some screen shots soon.

Of course, every advices is really appreciated

I taken Aparri and Vigan and the units are almost ready to move forward for the next targets.
Whereas at Legaspi I have a big problem, he has reinforced the base with more troops (Allied shock attack, odds 4 to 1 for him) and he managed to beat off my invasion fleet with a SCTF.
At the moment I put the BBs on there hoping that my unit will be able to hold the position until to the arrive of three units.

Actually the pb of Davao CD guns can be easily dealt with. A naval bombardment by the CAs based at Palau will usually do the job.

Jolo is a level3 airfield, your 2E LB will suffer penalties if you try to use them there. Its a nice place for Ki-30 and Val DBs hunting ships fleeing the PI.

Yes but I have used these CAs for support others invasions, he's playing aggressive with his ships.
Anyhow this is my mistake

In the stock game Jolo is a level 4 airfield

Hong Kong is fallen , now I have three infantry RGTs and two heavy artillery ready for the Philippines.

Roughly 50% of his subs manage to hit something, moreover he has put every available aircraft in naval attack but fortunately no one main ships are sunk.

At Tavoy I'm sending several units to create a stronghold until Malaya will be conquered, in the meantime a Tank rgt and the Imperial Guard Division are training for Rangoon.

I'll move enough units into Manila, to block in his force, and I'll go to destroy the units on Bataan.
