Hi Galahad78 !
Thanks a lot for your comment.
I am working on Dec 8th turn, only Pacific Areas ended, but I can say that I will not use any kind of Sir Robin tactics. I would try to sell at a high price the ground. I would try to fix as many japanese units as possible at P.I. and Malaya. USN Counterattacks in the Pacific will be sure when Kido Butai will be transfered to D.E.I. The main strategic thought is about naval blockade with Submarine Scouting Force. A handfull of B-17 will operate against strategic targets.

Thanks a lot for your comments. Criticism or future comments will be welcomed
Best of wishes.
Ramón
