I still think that Ambon Battle is more important for me, as capturing Ambon will secure fuel shipment from DEI.
Allies still have no potential for offensive and i thing after Ndeni fall they will not move north for Guadalcanal.
KB will stay on DEI to secure operations there, in Coral sea i will use MKB reinforced by Zuikaku and Shokaku but i nedd 2 weeks before they arrive there
