Overall war plan;
This being my first game as japan i'm trying to do the first couple of weeks at slow pace, moving to fast will surely
make me fall into unneeded traps. The enemy general is most of the time a very agressive one, so i expect that he'll
be stinging wherever he can right from the start
In the long term i plan on invading India, jumping over Burma, which will fall after the supply situation runs dry.
Perhaps if there are enough troops left to spend a landing at northern OZ might be considered, but this depends on
PI, DEI and my India Campaign.
PI is to be landed on from turn 1 (@ vigan, appari & legaspi) but after making a beachhead to provide airsupport
only a garrison (roughly 1.000 AV) will stay. Most of the troops usually commited will move passed this theatre to be invading India, or helping out at singapore/ DEI untill the time is ready.
first turn objectives;
PI (allready mentioned)
mersing
khota baru
Jolo
Amboina
Gilbert (nauru invaded later)
most of the Solomon (including Lae and rabaul)
Wake
Midway (awfull long distance, dont know if its manageble?)
7/12/41 !!

this would have been the first wave, but after there were several cloudy hours the commander of KB
seemed to have lost fate in his pilots and ordered not to send in another wave of deadly bombers..
and so it was to become the one wave that hit Pearl Harbor.
conclusion;
US BB's will be swarming the pacific soon, lets hope i can catch some of those US carriers in time to compensate for the mishap over here..
