In my turn i assault and capture Surabaya. The last city in NEI. Paratroopers take the city after an assault from the regular forces fail.
Air and naval bombardment of Singapore equals large losses for the city but also the loss of an elderly japanese battleship. Two corps of Imperial marine veterans land around Port Sweetenham.
My naval forces also bombard the advancing allied forces outside Hanoi.
In China not much happens. I evacuate a hex in the north and bombard the advancing enemy.
In the glorious tradition of the Italians in 1940 Japan declares war on Soviet Union and quickly surrounds Vladivostok which appears to be lightly garrisoned.
