Reading the thread, i just souht a funny thing : let's get rid of all the Malaya campaign and invade Singapore on day 1.
I did that on head to head, half an hour time, "just to see".
I basically send the whole fleet which was due to leave Samah, joined together in a mega fleet (100 ship, whith max escorts, and so on).
I sent the BBs (I sent them just next to Singapore hexe) as well and as it was a try, and the KB, to try to catch the Z force (maybe not necessary).
Results ? Singapore taken on the 8th of december 41 
Not much a real opponent could have done more, i think. not enough time to do anything, basically
Losses ? not much, 5 DMS, 1 DD, 2 APD, 2 PB, and 3 AK... A lot of damaged ones but they are now disbanded in Singapore's harbor
Was I lucky ? maybe.
On day one, the KB fought the Z Force, on day tw, i sent every plane on ground attack, to Singapore
