I am going to start following the example of some rather fine AARs, and will be posting my comments by region in the following order (roughly counterclockwise): China, Burma, Malaya, DEI, Philippines, South Seas, Central Pacific, The North.
This turn was much more combat intensive than the previous one. Air losses, for one, jumped to unexpectedly high levels. I lost about 20 planes or so, while Allied losses are estimated at 2-3 times that. I'd rather not have too many turns with air losses that high, as my trained pilot pool would attrite too quickly, but there was one good thing in all of this: around 30 Allied fighters lost, for about 10 of mine. A 3-1 fighter loss ratio is something I would not mind keeping up!
China
There is a LOT of possitioning needed in China, and most of it is still going on (and will be for most of December), but there are a few units that can start attacking early. I am trying to do the most with what I have available. Clearing Hong Kong is, of course, a priority, both on land and at sea.

Plenty of numerical superiority, enough ammo, and the only result is the Scout being hit once. At least it is on fire.

I have restarted Ki-32 Mary production, and it will be my main light bomber for the time being. I prefer its 250 Kg bomb to the bombs carried by the Ki-48 or the Ki-51. Also, 2000 feet may be a bit too low, even in China, if there are any AAA units present (like in Changsha).

Hong Kong is always a mistery to me in the sense that I don't always know when to switch from bombardment to deliberate attacks. Will have to think about switching soon, though, as both 38th and 104th divisions have future engagements they need to attend to.

Will I be able to surround and reduce Kaifeng? I do not know, but at least the first step has been taken. Time will tell.
All in all, I can't complain about China. I need to attack more in that theater, before Chinese defenses are set up, but garrison requirements make it a bit difficult (as they should). Still, I will do my best to keep my esteemed opponent off balance for as long as I can.
Burma
All is quiet here... at least for now.
Malaya
And now we come to the reason why Burma is quiet! I need to be swift here, if I want a chance to do... interesting things... before Allies achieve material parity or advantage overall.
Allied minesweepers sweep Singapore, clearing 41 mines. That is all the naval action in this theater.

It was about time! Now to start conquering the bases to the north of this.
The Dutch East Indies
I must not tarry here. If I want to keep the strategic initiative for long, I need to conquer this swiftly... and without too much damage to the oil heads. Sadly, there are other theaters that require use of the big units (Malaya) and the big guns (Bataan), so I have to do my best with what is not assigned to other places. Anyway...

Here I'd rather sink fewer, but more important ships, than the many xAKs and xAKLs that flee from these islands. I am happy to have at least damaged the Houston, and somewhat worried that I have not seen that CL which shall not be named. Yet, this turn I get to sink a few secondary objectives that, on the long run, I'd rather see sunk. Let's see...

I guess this is what happens when cruisers and carriers sail together. Better to sail them in different TFs, I guess.

Watching the replay of this, I must say that I was lucky. Almost all my zeroes arrived together, while the Allied fighters had to climb up and meet them. This must be one of my best sweeps ever. After that, the bombers got in easy.

To send 27 Zeros on a sweep, and find the airspace empty almost feels like a waste. But I cannot play dice... I must systematically make sure I gain complete air superiority. Besides, the Betties did pound the airfield rather hard.

I wonder why those Zeros insist on sweeping after the bombers do their job? I will have to take a look at the unit's commander, to see if he should be sacked.

Now, this I did not expect. Poor Pete, it had no chance. Will have to do something about this, yes... Now, if this is the reason there were no fighters over Clark Field, they will have a harder time to fly tomorrow, with the damage to their field. Hmm...

Note the patrol altitude versus the attack altitude. It is a rock/paper/scissors game sometimes.
Well, that was it. With time I will learn to be more succinct in my reports, and maybe even post a screenshot or two. Need the time, though, which I don't always have.
