Looks like the third time might be the charm for the Japanese at Horn Island. This time the IJN comes with 4 naval infantry units:

We're out of supply, the airfield's closed & Netties are flying out of PM. I'd like to get some supply in there but I'd need to commit CVs. It's been nice to slow down the IJN there but I don't think it's worth much further effort.

It's so ugly I don't really want to update it. I will say this: I'm in danger of losing my last base & my last 25K supply on the island. Next update I'll post more.
Philippines
Bataan falls. That ends any allied presence on Luzon.
Allied forces do continue their vain struggle on Mindanao & few other locations in the central Philippines.

My line south of the central plains is holding for now. Even managed to (temporarily) surround the IJA units on my western flank.

3 IJA tank units have surprised me in clear terrain near Sian. They have a one-turn window to route 210 AV there. 600 AV reinforcements arrive in 2 turns. I do have an AT gun regiment there so maybe that will help.
Gobi Desert
Chinese infantry successfully withstand an IJA tank attack.
Next replay is in. I may or may not try to do a new map.
