It start to be serious.
Docup start simultaneous operations in 3 different places. Bengal Bay, Salomon's and Marshal Islands.
Maps lower
Burma
Quiet here. Allied ships hold position but they look most dangerous of all 3 invasions.
BB, CA, CVB and huge CAP above carriers etc.
Plus suddenly 10+ subs show up in Strait of Mallaca (we sunk probably 3 of them last turn), and i found minefields north of Singapore.
Salomon's.
I am sure this is not major offensive. But probably enough to achieve Docup goals.
I was so close to intercept CVE TF during night ride

At morning BB TF enter Rabaul hex(undetected). Cruisers are undamaged ammo is low but enough to fight and they should rearm during next phase. DDs are also combat ready. I can only wait.
Marshal Islands
Fleet that lloks like invasion popup. But again it still look like CVE TF plus SAG. DL is low i have inly one small search group there.
They all holding position, probably waiting for KB showing in one place.
From 3 Invasion most serious is probably that in Bengal Bay not sure about that in Marshals.
One is sure KB can be in Bengal bay in 48-72h. Salomon and Marshals are one week trip.

RE: Docup (A) vs Koniu (J) - 
Not only can he reach every oil well in the DEI with B29s but many will be even within B24 range.
