Hi Galahad78 !
Thanks for your question

Game is go on. I have not time for AAR (I´m playing like allied vs Fremen, and another game like japanese vs Cantona2).

AT Dutch Harbor, enemy landing 53rd Infantry Division under air cover from HIJMS Hiryu / HIJMS Soryu. I launched a monster operation with USN with 41st Infantry Division supported by all my carrier Force (USS Saratoga-USS Enterprise-USS Yorktown-USS Hornet) and 5 BBs with numerous destroyers and cruisers. Dutch Harbor never falls in enemy hands, they were evacuated to Adak. When US Landings at April first week, enemy only had about 3.000 men in Dutch Harbor with all IJA forces at Adak. Several AKs were sunk by air raids from USN carrier based dive bombers.
Actually, we are on April´42. Java campaign have began with landings at Merak (enemy have captured Batavia). 18th British Division is supporting allied defense at Java Island.

Singapore falls in dirty hands about 15th March. Rangoon one or two weeks later. Chinese Forces capture Sinyang and press on Hankow-Wuchang.

An interesting counterstrike at Burma will be ready soon with I Aussie Corps (6th-7th AIF Divisions with arty-eng elements)

If you want to know more, you can ask when do you prefer...
I have no enough time to Fremen or Cantona2 AARs (playing like japanese need too much time).

Thanks for your posting
Best of wishes
