3rd Air Division is suppressing the airfields at Georgetown, Kuantan (had to look that one up again) and Aloe Star (did sunburn medicine originate in this city? I think so). I won't bore you with the details.
Now onto the fun and why carrier/air power rule the day and why this mod is a very good "what if". Poor Japanese, if they had only focused on Carriers...they would have never won but would have only lost is 1946 instead of 1945. Multiple strikes on Manila from Netties (150 of them) and Akagi, Amagi and Ruyukaku (CVL).
