Overall I think you are at a best shape you feel.
Don't worry about the OZ invasion , without a second invasion at Townsville zone and/or Perth, his attack will stop as the zone at north of Tennant Creek allow a VERY little supply movement, so he won't be able to advance far at OZ, without a second advance.
If you are defending at Burma means you are no fighting for India. Thats is good news [;)]. Don't overcommit assets at Burma from India. A Tactical Withdrawal to Imphal line is affordable.
Now you only need to start a new offensive in a place where your air superiority (4E) can overcome the lack of CVs....But don't be hurry. Remember 1943 is the year of shifting sides, no the year of Allieds (that's 1944!!)
Good Luck.

07/03/1943 - 14/03 1943
As there a not many spectacular things happening right now i got a bit slow with my updates on the AAR. It seems entire KB is currentling doing his uppgrades and most of my job is just shuttling around units and doing TOE upgrades. Most action currently is through Air only.
Pacific
My subs are not realy sinking anything. Sometimes. Sunk an xAK and an other Japanese SC and he got one of my picket Ships last turn.
08/03
Got a shot on an AO but it missed.
09/03
Got a shot on an xAK but missed again.
12/03
Scorpion was sunk by a Mine (passed Singapore where some enemy Mines are. Need to be more careful on my sub movements.
13/03
Greenling hit a mine at Singapore, damn it.
Enemy started to bombard Naru Island with Bettys. Nothing i can do against it. Base has been evacuated, only a USA Base Force left as i cant defend the island nor support it as soon as KB is back in action.
14/03
A picket xAK got sunk by a japanese Sub.
Australia
I was able to rescue all of my troops which where exposed in northern Australia. I will group them at tennant creek to upgrade TOE and resupply their TOE. This is quite good news. As all enemy units have disapeard from the map (no detection) i have nothing to bombard right now. I usualy hit Daily Wates with my 4E or just use the time right now to repair all my units and restuff them.

Sent my 4E for a night raid on Derby as he did a Night attack on Tennant Creek some days ago. Got 30 Nicks and Zeros. After that all Japanese Planes in Range of my 4E at Australia disapeared. I like that.

The daily sweeps there come again. But this day i stood down all my fighters. No purpose in just sacrificing them. I send two P38 Sqads in range and will try a strato LRCAP in the future.

It seems he is no longer trying to move for Kaleymo with his units as they are retreating back to Schwebo. It seems my Air attacks show some effect. But this means that my blocking Stack of almost 2000 AV west of Katha is in Danger. I send an 450 AV Australian Divison, an Tank Bde with 200 AV and an Indian Division to reinforce my position there.
I have almost 2500 AV still moving north from Chittagong. As soons as their are back and upgraded i can plan some attacks. At Kaleymo i have an marine division and an indian division entering in 3 turns (currently retreating). They need some rest and refit until further combat. That leaves mit with 1000 AV at Kaleymo even if i move reinforcements for Katha out.

The daily sweeps there come again. But this day i stood down all my fighters. No purpose in just sacrificing them. I send two P38 Sqads in range and will try a strato LRCAP in the future.

It seems he is no longer trying to move for Kaleymo with his units as they are retreating back to Schwebo. It seems my Air attacks show some effect. But this means that my blocking Stack of almost 2000 AV west of Katha is in Danger. I send an 450 AV Australian Divison, an Tank Bde with 200 AV and an Indian Division to reinforce my position there.
I have almost 2500 AV still moving north from Chittagong. As soons as their are back and upgraded i can plan some attacks. At Kaleymo i have an marine division and an indian division entering in 3 turns (currently retreating). They need some rest and refit until further combat. That leaves mit with 1000 AV at Kaleymo even if i move reinforcements for Katha out.

Got him. Today my P38 killed of some of the sweeping units.

RE: Bomber crisis
Good maneouver gathering troops at OZ. Now, you'll be able to create an fully upgrade army. [;)].
RE: Bomber crisis
I checked the map for quite some time doing the last turn and i think i will try some operations in the SW pacific first.
The reasons are
1.) I have quite some well established bases
2.) I have quite a lot of seabees and engineering units at Australia. Currently bringing Cloncurry/Meekatharra and Odnadatta to lvl 9. I did this mostly as fallback if something wonky happens. But right now i do not think that he can establish any offensive in Australia. This window closed for him.
3.) I have arpox. 500k supply at Noumea and Effate. Effate has 500AV defense force and Noumea 300. Both are fully expanded and Effate has > 250 Air support.
4.) I have bases at Ndendi and Torres Island currently expanding so there is quite a dense net of allied bases. All are defended with 250AV+.
5.) Targets are Kiraka or Renell Island as both are undefended or a landing at Taluga and Rossel Island. Taluga and Rossel Island are still in allied control so i just could drop a bunch of engineers there. But distance is further away from friendly cap so it is more risky.
This are the only options i see in the next 2 months and whatever i do i have to do it when KB is not around as i can only provide air support against the land based netties.

15/3/43
I have 19 US 57mm AT Guns in the pool and i am waiting since 3 turns for a Independent Bde to draw them that i can split my Army and Marine Divisions for quick upgrade to 1943 Squad types. I hate it if i split a unit and only a part of it upgrades some devices which only tickle into the pool. It takes so long until i can reunite the unit. Am i right that i cant unit a split division if a part upgrades to new AT guns ?
Pacific
Two of my subs attacked Japanese convoys. Both convoys had AOs in it but did not get a shot of. Argl.
Japanese Sub sank AMc Monowai. It was on the way back to SF as width drawl was requested. No real loss. Splitted a 6DD TF which was heading to SF to provide escort for some large convoys
which i will form soon into ASW Tfs and i will hunt a little bit the Sub. But not shure if i will catch it.

Complete quiet today as i stood down my bombers to repair and my units are slowly moving back to Tennant Creek. Currently i have 1,6k AV there. Some of the Australian units will split soon to upgrade to the 43 type and will completely rebuild for the next offensive.
With the US Division and the tank units on the way which i bought a few days ago i will have around 5000 AV for offensive operations in aprox. 2 month.

5.000 AV at OZ ?? Where is the trouble ??? [:'(][:'(]
One and a half moth ago i had 2300 AV trapped out of supply in the nowhere with the enemy closing in and 1100 AV in the rest of Australia. I shipped 3 divisions in and sent another 1000 from Pearl and West coast which is currently on the way.
My enemy was quite passive the last weeks which was good for me but bad for him. I think he sent his CV to upgrade instead of hunting my supply.
I had almost nothing in Tennant Creek and now its a full built up base with over 500 planes in it.
And he will still have carrier superiority until begin of 1944.
RE: Bomber crisis
Sooner or later, the japanese use to be gassed. Now, this is the moment !!! Time to dug in and prepare to counterattack (in a few months)

Yea he sent me a few turns ago thats time for him to prepare his defenses. I am not sure if that was wise as there will be a time where i even have carrier superiority and he could have done some much nasty things right now.
While i will try for the next months to fight a land war he should try to fight a naval war.
