I hate contested landings. Phase 3 (Hong Kong) begins early. I need it to fall before the RN arrives.

Nah, we looked at the timetable. It says - wait 3 months for a foreign navy and then 2 show up at once.

The first part of the game after the initial fights is a slow buildup for the Allied player (as if you haven't guessed)... you get plenty of time to decide what to do, but constantly revise that in the face of Japanese moves. I'm still reacting. The American fleet is ready to move West, but I have no support forces (base forces) to take along and I don't think I am ready to retake Wake... if I go that route, or have the forces to support a more southerly circle through the Marianas. I've got political points stored, so I'll be moving some of the extra base forces from the West Coast to create my supply bases. Q-ships should be arriving shortly too. Looking forward to many more of those.

Not much is new this turn. My troops forced back into Manila from the south; relatively quiet apart from damaged IJN shipping (I think from the recent landings in China) sinking
