Thoughts:
Well, a pretty heavy Japanese commitment to India. The goal here will be to limit the damage to Commonwealth forces while contesting as best as possible. I simply can't lose here. There is absolutely nothing I can do against such a heavy Japanese presence on Ceylon so whatever troops remain on the island are as good as lost. I simply didn't have the PP's available to buy them out. This is where Scenario 2 makes it so easy to steamroll Allied positions early with all the extra combat LCU's.
It may be a knee jerk reaction, but American 4E's have been ordered to target the port at Cocanada and the airfield at Vizagapatnam. I expect Japanese fighters to CAP Vizagapatam. The bombers could be in trouble if Andre has assigned CV LRCAP. I have substantial Allied fighter units in India and have withdrawn AVG from China to support. The lack of a size 7 airbase is preventing me from upgrading the AVG to P-40E's.
No sign of KB. I don't dare make a move in the Pacific until I know where the Japanese CV's are. I've already lost one CV under dubious circumstances, there's no point following that up by gifting Andre a chance to sink additional CV's.
