sbr - Thank you
Manziel - Defence by space it will be. I really do not have enough forces to try to take and hold India for the time being.
Reado - Maybe I should make a few one post updates just to confuse people
germanpeon - Ceylon/Sri lanka, was taken for its rare materials as much as anything. It also happens to have the only two airbases and ports in the area too which is a very nice bonus. My NAV's are far too busy to play in the Indian Ocean, they have the USN to deal with in the Pacific.
safferli - Even more amusing is that Japan doesn't even know how to research Practical Turbojet yet even though it has the requirements. I suspect that these new aircraft will be using some type of advanced fireworks to power them.
I Killed Kenny, Maj. von Mauser - Colombo has one large advantage over the islands in the Pacific. It has a level 9 coastal fort which means I could use just about anything to defend it.
Nathan Madien, safferli - Safferli is correct I got blueprints for the first tech. The rest of the research will be slow and painful I imagine.
stnylan - Opposition is coming its just a little slow
Ektoras - If I wanted to conquer India then my armour would be very useful. A lot of the forces in Burma that I am facing have rmour or mech in them so I need similar forces to fight them, or hold them at least. I only have a total of 6 armoured divisions and they are all older types. The islands in the Indian Ocean should prevent the Allies from counter invading but as we all know it cheats and has unlimited range so they are almost pointless to take defensively.
cjwet, Thurak - Thank you. Thurak is correct that I get zero manpower from anywhere that is not mainland Japan. It is one of the major problems playing Japan. Normally I would use long serial runs but I have to have these troops quickly which is why I set the maximum amount my manpower could probably support. I may end up with only three runs, we shall see.
Murmurandus - Thank you
Sokraates - Thank you. String Theory is correct Tibet is not at war with me. One of the few not to be
safferli - The British industry should start to suffer fairly soon I would think, they have lost a lot of their rare material areas and are losing more. I get the impression that several of my readers are waiting for the Big Red Bear to come and slap me around
String Theory - Thank you. No spare NAV's no as already explained above. As long as my Cavarly are in a coastal province they won't be cut off from supply. I think the Soviets will come knocking before I can finish Burma.
Deus - Thank you. India is not quite totally undefended as you will see shortly.
Onni_Manni - Thank you. Shift - right click to select destinations one province at a time. Works for ships as well if they are in range of their home port.
Illumini - Unusually for me I have pop up and pause on for foreign events and this hasn't come up. The dissent is a small one I guess as its gone in further updates.
Manziel - I am lucky it hasn't already fired I think but as its winter now they might hold off until spring.
elbasto - Relations are irrelevant in this case as the Soviet DoW is event driven. This means it makes absolutely no difference what my relations are.
Sokraates - Ah a surprise for me
I am sure Yamamoto would be absolutely thrilled to be called a pirate. I hate to think what this will become after the Red Army kicks me around a little
