ORIGINAL: Chickenboy My understanding of this game is that the Japanese are constrained in their timeline on "most" fronts, not just the DEI / Philippines thrust. So Rabaul, Northern New Guinea and the Solomons will not be a threat to the Allies LOS/SLOC until their historical dates. Nimitz, et. al. need not concern themselves with them at this juncture in the war. Not really. My Japanese opponent is supposed to follow the original timeline, and plans, untill such time as he has problems with executing them. That time has come now. He has realised that his ground forces originally allocated for the capture, and drive through the Moluccans, are inferior due to allied reinforcements. He is now FREE to act in whatever way he finds suitable. That goes for ALL Theatres. Fred So I'll change my use of the verb to the past tense: My understanding of this game is that the Japanese have been constrained in their timeline on "most" fronts, not just the DEI / Philippines thrust. So Rabaul, Northern New Guinea and the Solomons have not been a threat to the Allies LOS/SLOC until now. Nimitz, et. al. need not have concerned themselves with them to this juncture in the war.
