Bataan looks like it will fall soonish. Japanese fighters have started a grind against the allied air in Sumatra. We get 1:1 at best but have better replacement rates . Hopefully we will get a significant advantage when we grind the allies down enough. osthaven will be taken before Palembang. And after the capture of Java. They all die where they stand :)
