So, here we are, the end of October 1942, and the Aleutians are about to get a series of nasty naval invasions, while the Allies try to put pressure on Burma, but rather are getting beaten there as well. The Allies risk losing another 40-60 ground units depending upon what Japan does. The Yorktown is somewhere from Seattle to Cold Bay, along with one fast battleship and many heavy cruisers. Two other carriers might be trapped or scuttled or in for repairs. The last roadblock to Chungking from the south is about to be blown away, and the Chungking garrison once over 9k AV has been cut down to 6.7K. Ceylon, and Port Moresby have fallen as well. Early Allied advance into Tabby in South Pacific cost a full Marine Division, and two more divisions were lost at Attu. At Ceylon the Aussies lost two brigades and the British quite a few units as well. The Allied Air Force has to be in tatters, the best frames heavily attrited mostly by naval bombardments. To this situations, the admirable Wargamr has asked for a tactical pause to reflect.
