If it makes anyone feel better, what I chose to do with my air is irrelevant. It started off like this.

At this point in the war, anyone got a guess of how many fleet carrier's worth of planes this makes up? I'm guessing at least 8 at this point. Being Iron-Babes, I'm sure the IJN CV count must be jacked up a bit. I've been growing weary of these enhanced-Japanese games. RA3 was my last aborted game. That's probably why in my other game, I deliberately chose Scen 1 to play the Japanese as. I want to see how I stack up using what they really had. There, I'm making slow, but steady progress.
I'm coming around to where I'm going to have to change Ed-doctrine so that if a major fleet approaches, to just flee inland. With the notice I had, I doubt my ships there could have cleared the area before they arrived. I hate this as it's a pain to pull off when needed, but it beats just getting clobbered every time. My squadrons there will rebuild, as all the pools are in good shape right now. I thought I was in good shape, but it appears my fighter strength in Australia isn't really where it should be. It's enough to cover raids to Port Moresby and the like, but against an all out assault like this...
This just appears to be a heavy handed raid, as I don't see transport or the like anywhere. If he did land there, I'm sure the Oz army would start receiving its steroid diet.
Since he's lingering off the Australian coast, I've ramped up my supply and reinforcement of the Pago-Pago area bases. A bunch more base forces/engineers/aircraft are bound for Vava'u, and I'm keeping everyone nicely topped off supply-wise.
In India, a big transport force dropped off a huge load of base units as well as supply. Over the course of two weeks, I'll have dumped probably 175k of supply there. Another's loading up at Cape Town. I'm moving xAKs to Abadan, since I have over 150k of supply built up there again. Another 50+ xAKs are enroute to Cape Town, too. If I can feed enough in to get the inland bases to start getting stuff, I'll be happy. I have 4 MAGs in Karachi deploying out, amongst all the other base units. 3 are bound for Bombay, as I've been overstacked there again. The last to Madras. Some other biggish ones are headed to the inland bases near the inland tip of the country to get them developed better.
