Dutch East Indies Collapsing (Patreon)
Content
This week Japanese forces make significant progress in the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) and capture major cities there. This gives them control of vital oil producing facilities, which is one of the reasons why this war in the South East Asia started in the first place. At the same time, they strafe targets in Australia leaving several dozen people dead. There is not as much movement in Europe this week, thought the Briyansk pocket still hangs in the balance, and both sides in North Africa are still gearing up for a proper offensive.
What do you think? Will these new Indonesian oil facilities finally cure the Japanese energy crisis, or will their spread out forces only create further complications?
