I think that from an objective point of view the allies in this game aren't doing well guys. We lost nearly 2 continents (China and India) and we weren't able to defeat Japan in any major engagement so far...and 1 full year of war has passed!! The only true victory is that one, lost in the fog of times, near Tarakan in dec 1941 when we sunk with force Z a full invasion force...but that's all!! Anyway, we're still fighting! Decemeber 12, 13 1942 Rader is preparing what seems to be a major operation against PM. He transported several units at Buna and they seem to be marching towards the Owen Stanley mountains... The KB is in an appartent striking position, along with a strong SCTF based at Torobika. Now we can fully see the air power he brought here...(see map)...nearly 1000 fighters plus the KB...not bad uh!? Today he started to test the PM defences. We were able yesterday to sneak at PM, during a bad weather turn, 5 fighters units (the same badly battered that fought bravely but with no hopes the KB at Cairns). They are all australian (except for what was left of the marine wildcats group that was aboard of the L.I. CVE). Japan came with a sweep followed by a 40 escorted helens strike from Rabaul...and WE DID FOUGHT THEM BACK!!. Our Aus pilots are top notch! They are all well above the average and they will soon compete with those british heroes that are defending Karachi! This allowed me to send supplies by air transports to PM for 4 days in a row...not much but it's already something... We're placing mines at Lunga and Tulagi and those bases are getting a constant (even if little) flow of supplies and men. Lunga has already 5 forts, Tulagi and Tessafaronga 4...not bad! At Karachi the usual sweep missions by 350 Tojos...we're obtaining a constant 2-1 odd in terms of kills...but as Rader just told me, he can easily sustain 3-1 in my favour without many problems.... However the battle for India is clearly won. Multan is being evacuated by his main units, leaving behind only Eng, base forces, AAs and some Inf units (just enough to defend the base). So we now have to think about how to get out of the corner! What else?...well, some screenshots and maps...
