If they were doing a Dutch East Indies map I'ld hope they'ld include Northern Australia. There were quiet a few raids on Darwin, Broome and other towns. (By the end of the war there was over a quarter of a million US troops based in or passed through Northern Australia)

On the Alied side we'd at least need P-39's, tropicalised Mk5 Spitfires, P-40E-s and not to forget the Catalina's for the Double Sunrise flights and Naval patrols! WHat else would we need!

The spitfires had really bad reputation for range and reliablity (over heating, CSU failing at extreme altitude, cannon's icing up etc) but they were the mainstay of the propaganda machine in Australia.

On the other hand, I was actually looking forward to the Battle for Moscow. How else will we send those belligerent LW pilots to the Russian Front!
