I think he will have major supply issues in central Oz not unlike the allies problems there. I am experimenting
with Tenant Creek but even with a small airlift cannot keep it supplied. I do have a reinforced division sitting
in rough terrain to the north of Alice Springs which is well supplied and should he try and come down the
secondary road there I feel I may have a tank battle I'd like to see. The Matilda is here as well as Stuarts and
decent arty. I have little fear of him coming this way, could be wrong, but this is a place I'd like to see him try
and force me to battle. I have rails and he has long featureless tracks. This would also subject him to the
B17s in clear terrain. I do have angst of an entry via Perth or worse the northeast.

I agree with Zulu. A nice metaphor. A few posts back you mentioned "summer invasions". Have you revealed the location and I missed it ? Or is that still to be determined ?

Yes. The targets are (in no particular order): Roi-Namur; Kwajalein Island; Wotje; Maloelap; Mili; Tarawa (last). Units were assigned a while back and are well on their way in preparation.
