small isolated island 1 group... those are the ones with landing zones
ports that are connected by at least 2 tiles 3+ naval groups

Manilla requires 3 groups for example.
Singapore 3 groups.
Rabaul 3 groups.

Here is my view (Allies side turn one). I see 4 ships, does it mean 4 groups? But I was able to evacuate Manilla.

[ncc1701e]

And I was able to go to Port Moresby. [:D]

[ncc1701e]

But same question. I see two subs.

[ncc1701e]

Plus 2 ships. Is it not 4 groups? But I was able to unload the Philippine Division (so no port blockade right?).

[ncc1701e]

Is it 3 naval groups in 3 stacks?

[ncc1701e]

kennonlightfoot will surely complete by saying what are those ships.

[AlvaroSousa]

I removed coastal ships from the groups able to blockade a port. But it should work.

[ncc1701e]

All right, waiting the Allies feedback

[kennonlightfoot]

Outside Manila the groups consisted of 1 CVL and 3 DD's.
Outside Port Moresby there was one sub unit and 3 DD's (could be two but I usually put an extra in case Allies move a LBA down and get a hit. I'll verify on my next turn.

You might also check the Lingayen port. There are four coastal blockading it.

Looks like all the blockades failed.

[ncc1701e]

Normal for the four coastals, they don't do port blockade anymore.

For the others, looks like there is a problem to investigate.

I have reproduced in hotseat mode.

[ncc1701e]

I have moved 1 CVL and 2 DD in the first group and 1 DD in the second group. Thus 4 naval groups acting in theory.
But, there is no port blockade.

[ncc1701e]

One of the naval group is attacking convoy.

[ncc1701e]

Near Port Moresby, one stack with 3 DD and another one with 1 sub. Thus 4 naval groups acting in theory.
But, no port blockade just port supply interdiction.

[ncc1701e]

Going to the next turn, still no port blockade.

[ncc1701e]

Still the convoy attack.

[ncc1701e]

No port blockade in Port Moresby.

[ncc1701e]

Just the port supply interdiction.

[ncc1701e]

My best first Allies turn since long... [:D] And my best Pearl Harbor attack... Waiting Beta 6 then.

Here is my Manila force that failed to blockade:
