Ok, I am back...did one turn.
March 17, 1942
I have decided to reinforce slightly Ceylon, and fight for south eastern India as Japan is trying to take this stuff on the cheap I think.
Lots of Hurricanes sweeping inflicting 2-1 losses. Lost 8 Hurricanes for 10 Zeroes, 6 Oscar Ic, and 3 Tojo...a squadron of B26 hit the Japanese leading tanks, destroying 1 and knocking out 15.
Japan is accelerating their operations in the SRA capturing bases by amphibious invasion left and right.
A good convoy with a dozen Matildas and more arrived. Once these guys get to Australia, our offensive up the eastern Australia coast will begin. Australian forces routed the 6th IJA Tank Regiment south of Cloncurry. A handful of Stauarts in a a cavalry unit did good work...plus a motorized brigade.
Our American AA, prioritized first from America is doing great work at stopping the harvest of victory points by Japan in Australia (plus Japan is flying from smaller runways, or extended range or low supply):

A damaged heavy cruiser is pierside at Brisbane, and acting like a magnet drawing in the air attacks.[;)] Once every three days she takes a bomb hit that bounces off the armor.
