I've never faced such a big enemy army at Clark Field as Mundy employed there but these units were taken from the usual advances into Burma or further South into the SRA and/or an attack on Darwin or Port Moresby... while we have not reinforced Burma at this point but concentrate on the defense of India not losing Rangoon has enabled us to already bring close to 750,000 tons of supplies into China which means China can't be overrun as all our troops there are fully supplied and will stay supplied, coupled with the fact that we are digging in everywhere... except one attempt at the Northern front in China the whole theatre has been quiet since both sides took their positions... if China stays quiet I'm perfectly happy with... one of our main goals the first months was the defense of Port Moresby and Darwin, I see both bases as absolutely essential for the Allied strategy and both bases have been declared safe some time around the end of February, only an absolute all in attack by the Japanese could perhaps achieve something but that would mean also my Navy has to be destroyed and I saw that as highly unlikely... next step was to create what I call the "Triangle of Death" which is a zone the enemy already entered once, during the Japanese attempt to invade Koepang... centered round Darwin, my main fleet base on the map, we have strongholds at Koepang, Kendari, Manado down to Sorong on the far East and Ambon as a supporting base in the center... these bases require at least halve a dozen IJA divs if they want to have a any chance to take the base and only if I am not able to bring in further reinforcements after the enemy has landed... again, highly unlikely that my Navy and the airforce in the area is getting completely destroyed, this chance has already passed for the Japanese... as soon as Wasp arrives I will have around 630 carrier based aircraft in the region and if KB sticks it's nose into the Triangle of Death we will engage and most likely end any Japanese naval presence in the area... I expect KB to field some 350 carrier based aircraft at best so we nearly have a 2:1 superiority and the USN will soon field F4F-4, SBD-3 and TBF on their carriers, supported by a USMC F4F-3 squadron on each of the 90 capacity carriers... also the two British carriers are in the region, both with 33 fighters aboard (one British Sea Hurricane squadron and one Canadian Martlet squadron)... the enemy took Rabaul early which is a torn our flank and this will be one of our first major operations... the South and Central Pacific have been quiet, the enemy took the Gilberts in the starting days but didn't move further which allowed me to garrison all the important atolls and the Fijis... I doubt we will see any further Japanese move into this direction... pretty much as always I totally ignore the Northern front, just too far away from my major thrust and diverting troops, aircraft or ships into the area would be a waste... one doesn't have to be a genius to realize with the current frontline where the main axis of advance will happen as we have more than just a foothold within the SRA, with Balikpapan being neutralized by our B-17s at Kendari/Manado the enemy has lost access to a big amount of fuel/oil already... while I see it as pretty much impossible to take the area North of Darwin the enemy has to at least grab some land as he can't accept us having such a strong position in his soft underbelly and if he concentrates force here we might have a chance to consolidate Burma and reinforce it but I won't do that within the next two months I guess as I don't know where the IJ juggernaut will turn to and it's only the end of May 42 after all...

The triangle looks good, but when you listed 6ish bases that sounds more like a hexagon of death!

Fascinating to me that Mundy throws all those small units into the breach: naval guard units and SNLFs, airborne units that are battalion sized, even individual companies. I have only ever used formed divisions for major battles. It seems to be working, though...

The strategic situation for Japan here is both ugly and hopeless. This game isn't going to make it to 1944. I don't understand the obsession with Malang, a base that can be easily neutralized, bypassed, and left to starve.

Like refusing to believe that ships are vulnerable to massed B-17 attacks in port...multiple times. To extent not to even CAP properly.

Have tried it on and on and on with 70 low nav skill Sallies/Helens/Mitchels etc. [:(] Had hundreds if not thousand trained pilots in the pools just to find out they "never" hit at 1000ft with reduced payload and take a huge morale hit. So next try in several games, 70 skill nav bomb, attacking at 2000ft. Same, literally no hits. Attacking from all heights, 2-6000ft, same. I have decided to completely stop now during this campaign and use the bombers I know they can hit ships.

I don't understand the obsession with Malang, a base that can be easily neutralized, bypassed, and left to starve. I have not understood the obsession of killing strongholds either but I can tell you that at least halve of my opponents in all those years were doing the same, no matter if Allied or Japanese. There are bases I also wouldn't ignore either (e.g. Singapore, Rangoon) but Mundy cleared Singapore, brought everything to Luzon and then brought everything to Java. In the meantime he completely lost steam and I reinforced North of Darwin. Having such a position in the SRA I can only agree, if I won't win the war by the end of 43 something will have gone terrible wrong in my coming offensives.

Ambon isn't the most heavily garrisoned base in the region but we do have a couple of Australian bgds plus support there so the enemy would need to land several divisions to quickly take the base against our entrenched troops there and it's going to be more or less impossible to keep us from reinforcing the base... a convoy was ordered to bring some more armor and another inf unit...from Darwin... II/19th Naval Guard Unit is planning for an attack on Ambon.
