ORIGINAL: KPAX In my PBEM game it is now July 1, 1942. The Allied hold, all all of Java, Singapore, Palabamg and Rangoon. I am thinking things are bad for Japan. If so, how long will until it hurts Japan in production, etc? Until the Allied see an effect? 1. Oil effects start, and then they escalate - insufficient fuel, insufficient HI, insufficient supply, insufficient production, and so it goes. 2. Regardless of any of that, the IJ can put sufficiently large ground units, and some supplies, on the island bases you need to take to get to, and into, the home islands. As the Allies, you canot collect together the assest for sustained offensive activity until after mid 1943. More to the point, it is not until you deploy the F6F in numbers on your carriers That you can ensure that the IJ air forces won't interrupt your plans. Having deprived the IJ of raw materials ought to accelerate things, starting in about 11/43.
