Yes, that's a possibility: "Let John stuff Formosa to the gills and then bypass it." Yes, that's a possibility: "You don't have to take all of Formosa." Regarding the Fun House schedule: Originally, I figured that to take through about September. So it's winding down more than eight weeks ahead of schedule (...and Peep Show got an head start with the snap invasions of the three islands north of Luzon). When Peep Show was conceived in the autumn of '43, the objective was to seize airfields in proximity to the Home Islands, in order to implement the final big offensive of the war: strategic bombing. At that time, I figured there might be time after Peep Show for another move: against or near the Home Islands. That's still a possibility but not a certainty. At this point, one path to victory might be to allow Peep Show to run it's course: to seize big airfield bases and to implement strategic bombing...and all the while, then moving south in strength to address Singers and the other big bases. Part of this objective would be to eliminate ever safe port on the map and finish off the Japanese navy and merchant marine. That's just one possibility. Another would be to pick a Home Island an invade in strength: Shikoku, Hokkaido, whatever. And there are others. I have a lot of flexibility at this particular moment because I don't have to move on Formosa or any other single target at this moment. The quarterback may call some audibles at the line, depending on what Just In Time reconnaissance shows.
