April 17th 43,

I'm going to skip a month here as well not much has happened but I'll give a sitrep on my situation in most theaters.

Burma

atm Rangoon should be retaken soon. about 600 bombers raid the base daily flak has lessened and I should start low bombing soon here Nav bombardments should also soon start as Ramree is being built up. also, land bombardments will also start more ferocity as it seems he starts to run low on supplies. once Rangoon fall I'm unsure what I shall do next I'll try to go around Moulmein as that is a fortress atm.

North Australia.

this will be my next area of focus large amounts of troops are moving into Darwin for the eventual invasion of Timor and surrounding islands.

New Guinea

most of this area is rapped up some base's survived on Papua but not for long Manus is my next target in this area as it's filled with units and will give a decent base for more launching points into dutch new guinea and eventually Truk or Badeldaob which I have several unit's planning for.

Sopac

the cleaning up of marshall island is almost done Eniwetok is the last remaining island. units are planning for clean up on Nauru, and ocean island. Ponape has almost daily naval bombardments happen on the island once this is taken Kavieng plus this island will give me major help for the eventual invasion of Truk.

here are some pictures of my situation.





Also of note how is my progress as the allies atm I've pushed my forces hard but since my invasion of Rabaul I've been quite APA's were the main reason why plus many new ships have arrived most recently 2 new cvl's 1 cv and a cve have arrived and make their way to pearl where they'll launch for aussie from their my main carrier are going back to sydney for repairs upgrade's and such once that happens and more of my units arrive my next plans should launch.

over the next 60 days 1 CV, 2 CVLs, 3 CVEs, 2 BBs, 1 CA, 2 CLs, 15 DDs, arrive.

an invasion force launches for Manus

5 art rgts, 1 cmb eng, 1 arm rgt, 4 inf bdes, 1 inf rgt, 1 art bn,

verus about 17 units are 30k men I assume he has a low supply and with about daily bombardments and hammering from the air, it should fall rather quickly.

so current intel screen.



Also, I have two operations I'm planning but only enough transports for one of them one is DEI invasion and that will be several phases as I definitely can't launch all the units I have planned at once or Truk let me know your guys thoughts.
