BANZAI! BANZAI! BANZAI! How many times does a Japanese player see Karachi, Bombay and Chungking falling? Karachi being more or less undefended tells me the enemy doesn't have any real Commonwealth Army left that could put up a serious fight on the subcontinent... all that is left seems to be defending Ceylon now, including hundreds of aircraft... industry at Karachi was taken intact but we didn't find any real fuel depots and "only" 60,000 tons of supply... with this success the victory point ratio has gone up to over 6.5:1 in favour of the Japanese, Allied ground losses nearly 26,000 now...
