India is getting pretty strong now, at least defensively. There's so much territory Japan could just run amok through it, of course. The big centers are difficult targets now so would take a serious commitment and - I hope - time for each.

The Perth preparation could be disinformation for sure. Perth has pretty decent CD guns in a fortress. Could be an invasion would suck it up and go in, or one division would prepare for the main target but come in through another (but lightly defended) port captured by other units. I'm not thinking a operation against Perth is certain but giving the Empire a bloody nose by defending Perth is easier than giving them a bloody nose by retaking Perth at this stage.

I don't think India is at grave risk since you still have the islands...not sure what Japan is up to based on the bases captured except for one idea....

The Yamoto might be undergoing sea trials right now. I am pretty sure she is fairly easy to reload in this mod with an ake or three.
