Yes, there have been many short decisive world wars during history Australia Today saw massive air attacks in Oz, Zone 3 against Emerald, Rockhampton and Bowen. Multiple sweeps hit all bases but met no resistance except from in Bowen were "leaky CAP" from Townsville put 10-12 Tojo's and Zero's in the air. - 2 waves of Beaufighters sweeping Bowen suffered 14 A2A losses and 5 ops losses. The final sweep waves over Bowen compromised Lightnings. Enemy heavy bombers hit Bowen and destroyed a single ac on the ground. Medium bombers hit Emerald and Rockhampton. We lost 3 Tojo's and 2 Zero's in A2A combat today. It would have been insanity to defend the forward bases, so of course we don't but a massive LRCAP effort could be tempting if Andy returns regularly. India - Burma In India 3 waves of Army bombers and fighter bombers hit troop concentrations south of Imphal. General Preparing a reinforcement convoy for Christmas Island and Palmyra. - Base unit for Palmyra and a tank regiment, artillery and Naval unit for Christmas; that should top the defenses there. Still looking for a suitable Army HQ but don't have any available.
