I don’t like this but in the next turn Japans carriers will move like 19 sea zones and do combat in 4 different places all in one turn. And that is a blatant violation to the OOB rules. To make this historically correct a Turn would have to be like 4 days, and not 3 months (90 days) like in my Blog.
