Gawd...I hate you, even though you are my ally here....you post these great maps; makes anything that I do resemble children's scribbling.....
That's why I never do anything.....mapwise that is.....
Update for the South Pacific:
The Imperial tide has now swept up and is lapping on the shores of Fiji, as of Mid March '42; the Kiwi's will hold until relieved or destroyed. If Fiji should fall to the Empire, that will leave Pago x2 as the only Allied base of significance from Palmyra to NZ. Upolu, next to Pago x2 has been occupied as of yesterday by Imperial forces; the base force that was there originally has been ensconced on Pago x2 since early in the war.
Naval wise, there appear to be at least 3 if not 4 fleet carriers operating in the South Pacific on varying patrol routes, covering all this invasion activity. Other than sub activity, which is high, there are no Allied surface forces in the region; it's a little to hot right now...
China:
Yenen holds after what was like a month of siege/attack days. The Japanese forces, which at one point were reported at approximately 200k men, have withdrawn in the direction of Chengting, breaking contact. The ChiComs are breathing easier now, but now have to look to the defense of Sian, as the Japs are probably on the Monorail to the south now.
Hengchow follows Changsha on the list of the fallen; the Nationalists, after the fall of Changsha, were split between this city and defending the river line covering the interior. Most of the Jap forces headed to Hengchow and were starting to breach the defenses; thus, the Chinese left the city. An attempted counterattack against the Changsha-Hengchow RR link was handily replused coming over the river by several Jap brigades.
The Nationalist government is in disarray at the moment.
In a Trans-Atlantic phone call last night, the two Chiefs of Staff conferred on many things, including cabbages and Kings (Ernie, especially).....They resolved to carry on the fight and to strike back against the enemy at the earliest opportunity....though, it was unresolved as to when that would be exactly; both seemed more eager for the other to smite the enemy rather than themselves....

The tracers look fine as a strafin' we go.
But, brother, we're TOO God damn low...

RE: Orders - 
No garden gnomes to be seen, but, of course, a clever Blockwart would have learned about this in the Blockwart Academy and would take precautions. 
I am undone!
