A week or two back, I mentioned that I had finally made a decision on the most important question I faced. At the time, I was afraid that I would experience "buyer's remorse," but as the days and now weeks have passed, I'm increasingly certain that I made the right call.
The question was how to merge Death Star and Death Star Junior leading into Fun House without subjecting them to defeat in detail. That's why I had wanted John to commit KB into the DEI. When it became clear that John wasn't going to cooperate, I had to come up with another way. The failure to grab Marcus two weeks ago complicated matters, because Japanese patrols will pick up DS Junior much earlier than I'd like.
My preferred method was for John to post KB in the DEI or in the South China Sea, which is still possible. If so, I'd keep Death Star in the DEI and, at the right moment, utilize it in a sudden strike to the north (probably Taulad Eilenden, north of Manado). This would pin John's attention there, allowing DS Junior to make it's approach from Hawaii (and Marcus in Allied hands would've made this considerably easier).
I tinkered with a dozen variations of that plan until one struck me as "best" a few weeks back. I like it even more now than I did then.
Fun House will move out on schedule. Part of this depended on getting the Big Tent Herd back to Hawaii in good order and on time. The lead TF is only 35 hexes out of Pearl now; the trailing TF is near Noumea. This "sub-op" has gone well.
