So most of the Allied ships unload at 250 points per phase and you have ship that can unload in 1200 per phase very handy for hitting things you want to be completely unloaded before the combat phase starts ...

You'll only need limited amounts of fuel moved to Hong Kong. Most of it should go directly to the Home Islands and your forward operating area's. Candidates, depending on game progress, are Manilla, Truk, Rabaul.. providing you are using Singapore as a Trade hub.

Java will build up enough fuel itself and provided you take all of Burma that area should be pretty self reliant (Only thinking fuel here, not supplies)..

For the first two - three years Hong Kong isn't important at all.. You just can't allow the allies to keep it..

I thought it might be a good idea to go through all the HI bases expanding the airbase and specific ports so that I could store more stuff there w/o spoilage.

Ports etc don't expand without Engineers... and you should be using them judiciously to expand ports that will be your convoy hubs

Larry, you can double all vehicle factories, and even that is not too much. Also, eventually you need much bigger Kate factory, size 5 factory is only producing 5 planes a month.

Did you mean to say double ALL the vehicle factories? And then you'll need even more? Really? For sure? Well, I must say, that's astounding. BUT alright.......let's do it. Thanks. And about the Kate factories......um I was told to be careful and cautious etc. when changing stuff in the economy and thought it sounded like good advice etc. BUT you're correct......5 planes a month isn't nearly enough. I predict that I'm going to need about 10 times that amount. I plan on being aggressive and bold but not reckless so I'm probably going to loose a lot of stuff...like Kates. Your advice is sound, sounds like to me.

I think I said this ... but some things need doing straight away!
Yeah, I recommend between 250 - 300 Veh plants. Build at multiple locations to get them built quickly.
Turn off 300 Arm plants ... [;)]

Maybe time to read my Econ101 doc or visit Mr Solli's AAR [;)]

Tarawa is key and do defend this atoll .. look at Tabiteueua also .. all those atolls around Tabiteueua can be built to level 5 bases .. meaning base 4E's .. the allies getting a toe hold here spells much pain ..
