Strategic Musings

In no particular order...
• No meaningful Allied invasion of Burma.
• Practically invite the Empire into India opposite Burma. Hold them at that forward position.
• As many Chinese ground units as can be bought brought into India for building, for holding Japanese units just inside India, and slight 'menacing' advances into Burma to hold Japanese units there. Chinese air force units supporting Chinese ground units.
• No protracted early campaign against Imperial positions Solomon Islands, New Britain/New Ireland, New Guinea.
• Bypassing South Pacific, earliest serious invasions of Central Pacific into Marshalls/Gilberts (specifics undetermined).
• Indian Ocean advances to bypass Burma, probably Sumatra and/or Java. Timing undetermined but shipping dependent so might cause target change.
• Kuriles/Hokkaido likely.

Tenets
• Pose different problems for Empire to solve than last game.
• Great economy of forward motion.
• Maximum earlier pressure on Empire's inner perimeter.

I'm wondering how can Japan make a powerful invasion of India at this time when they have just barely started to take the DEI? Won't they run out of fuel or something else vital? I admit I haven't played Japan so I don't know how robust or brittle their economy is, in game, but naively I think they can't have a lot of leeway -- or can they?

I think you are quite right. I am talking about a bit later. When it comes to Japan invading Australia or India or Hawaii the Japan player has to walk a tightrope between the problem of too little force available to Japan and too much force available to the Allies at the objective.

I don't know what the Empire has planned for the forces that will be freed up when Philippines/Singapore/DEI/Burma are secured. I hope China will take longer, but I know DAW HQ is intent on capturing all of China. If so of course that will free up a frightening load of forces.

At the minimum the Japanese have to have Singapore, Palembang, and have secured air superiority over that area of Sumatra and Malaya. Then the KB can actually come around to the IO side of Java and Sumatra to close the door for the Allies. After Singapore enough troops are freed up to make a move on India.

The PI can wait, as can Java, but it makes sense to take Java with the troops usually located to fill in on the PI and get it out of the way.

The Japanese have decent fuel reserves for a few years. In my game against Lowpe I've prioritised destroying or taking oil/fuel centres in the DEI and elsewhere, but it'll still be a long while before he's hurting. The Japanese economy is fine for a few years, it's just 44-45 when things start to squeeze if you haven't taken care of business getting oil/fuel reserves and managing supply and HI savings.

A moe to India is a knockout blow anyway, so you're not worrying much about the future. You're trying to achieve AV.

It's also a way to keep China relevant even if all of China is captured. Many patriots from the countryside in China will filter their way through mountain passes to form replacement squads for the Chinese units in India!

What US units are outside of the US? Both USMC regiments are at Pago Pago, as is one regiment of the Americal Division. Another regiment of Americal recently arrived at Melbourne. A USMC tank Bn is at Pago Pago and a USA tank Bn is at Suva. A USA regiment (of 24th or 25th Division, forget which) is also at Suva. There are smaller USN, USMC, and USA units at Pago Pago. There are 4 USA base forces and 1 air HQ in Australia. 1 USA base force and 1 USN base force at Kokoda, formerly at Port Moresby. There are base, defense, and Bn size units of USA, USN, and USMC at Midway, Palmyra, Christmas, Canton, Penrhyn, Bora Bora, Johnston. 1 USA base force in China, 1 USA base force in India.

I did not attempt to list Alaska and Hawaii. Also of course are many air units, a number of which had to be bought out.

Inquiring mind wants to know

Of course there is. I also wish to make clear I am not expecting an all-out attack on India, I simply must account for the possibility of one and be ready.

I am working to make Australia a very tough nut to crack. Even without much Allied action in the South Pacific Australia is a most major undertaking for Japan. I am fortifying everything I can in Australia in lieu of base building. In fact I am only building one base: Charter Towers, for B-17's. I realize it would become enemy in a substantial invasion but so be it. All the bases with aircraft in the northeast and others on the coast have been garrisoned against raider or paratroop capture. I am getting all the SWPac LCU and Sqn to Australia. Right now there is a backlog but that's being cleared with the availability of APD for ASW escort and more xAP arrived from points around the globe (about the last batch on the way from Panama to West Coast). Some fuel has already been delivered to Australia and the beginning of regular fuel and supply shipments are in transit, about halfway there.

The second component of Australia defense preparation is defense of the South Pacific SLOC to Australia. I am making Pago Pago and Fiji bastions that would require major efforts to capture. Noumea I will when I can but it might be a candidate for counter-invasion and/or isolation if seized in the meantime. The presence of Hawaii and the US fleet striking from there is a large part of defending the South Pacific. So far in fact the USN carriers have been stationed at Pago Pago both to better defend that place while its defenses are built up and to strike as opportunity might present.

New Zealand is not being afforded US troops but is being shipped fuel and supply from the US and - so far - resources from Noumea. All bases are fortifying. The presence of strong forces to support naval operations from Pago Pago and Fiji is meant to aid the defense of New Zealand.

Around the globe units are upgrading squads as possible, in lieu of adding numbers of squads as necessitated by availability. Many more months will be required for the first round of upgrades, most notably in New Zealand.

Not sure if you covered what Alessandro was looking for - but I found your explanations / descriptions very informative. Your game is not quite a month ahead of mine - I am at Jan 22nd now - so this information is all very interesting for me. This is just my 2nd campaign game - both by PBEM.

I would think it is too early to ascertain the emperors plans. He will have problems moving the KB into the IO without Singers and Palembang. Even
if he has fuel he will have to move it, and that would be away from the HI. A raid, OK, an "incursion", I think not. I think April 30th is the day of reckoning
for IJ. The cards will be on the table then. DAMN! No turn for over three weeks.....

You will get a .zip file with two files inside: a SBD.exe and SBD.ini. Extract the two files into the folder of your choice.

You should edit SBD.ini to put in the location of the SAVE folder of the game you wish to use it on. Then just click on SBD.exe and it will run. Of course you can create a shortcut if you like.

Here is a link to test copy of Sync Bug Detector in case anyone wants to try it out.

You will get a .zip file with two files inside: a SBD.exe and SBD.ini. Extract the two files into the folder of your choice.

You should edit SBD.ini to put in the location of the SAVE folder of the game you wish to use it on. Then just click on SBD.exe and it will run. Of course you can create a shortcut if you like.

Thanks for all the work and dedication that you put into programming these utilities George !

A pleasure, Dave!

I am testing a version that will remind you if you have not opened the turn file yet.
