Ceylon became the Guadalcanal of this game. . .The Japanese swept through Burma and invaded India, taking Calcutta by Summer of 42. But that's as far as they got. The American's, Brits, Australians and Indian's threw everything they could get their hands on to hold Bombay and Ceylon. Outnumbered and outgunned, they stopped and eventually defeated the Japanese in a big Naval battle in the Bay of Bengal in Spring of 43 - but it was touch and go for some time - one tough Japanese player!
