Winter 1941 - Pacific
The battle for New Caledonia ends in a U.S. Navy disaster. Wanting to avenge Pearl Harbor and prevent further Japanese incursions into the South Pacific, the Americans commit their fleet to an engagement off of New Caledonia. While the Allies are able to reinforce the island and prevent a Japanese landing, in the lopsided carrier action at sea, the American lose both carrier groups to Japanese dive-bombers and torpedo planes (Enterprise, Yorktown, Lexington, and Saratoga all sunk). The Allies also lost a cruiser group in the action before withdrawing. The disaster puts the Americans on the strategic defensive in the Pacific for the next several turns.
The Japanese seize Malaya, Sumatra and put a carrier group off of Wake to finish off the American battleship still in the mud at Pearl. Things look grim in the Pacific.
