I wonder if this will slow them down any? Seems like the transports don't have that many troops aboard?

So we have 2 IJA Armies and very ikely 18 th Div planning for Melbourne. Must be a minimum of 2 divisions and perhaps more, of course. Plus a possible landing at Albany (threatening Perth, of course).

This would make the arrival of emergency reinforcements more difficult
