(Attention - PBEM / H2H scenario - no AI files provided!)

The Japanese surprise attacks this morning have 
shocked and shattered the Allied Forces. Many 
ships of the US Fleet in Hawaii are twisted
burning hulks. Most of the planes at Hawaii, 
the Philippines and Wake Is. have been destroyed 
on the ground. The Japanese have made successful 
landings in Malaya and are advancing on Hong Kong. 
At the moment they seem unstoppable.

The abilities of the Japanese have been greatly 
underestimated and the Allies find themselves 
outnumbered and out-classed, but help is on the 
way. The Americal industrial machine has been
unleashed but the Allies must buy time until the 
ships, planes and other weapons of war start to 
appear in numbers.

The Allied command had decided on a Germany First 
policy which means that Pacific commanders will have 
to get by with only a small portion of total Allied 
production.
