TARAKAN

The airport on this island is vital to the conquest of Burma, not only as supporting our landing forces in the north, but also in controlling the waterways of the Celebes sea. The imperial high comand will judge your mission by the speed you will accomplishing it. If expections will be met, you will recive a higher comission and more resources.
Notes from the campaignmaker Ernst Wiltmann :
This is not an historical campaignpath, since special landing task forces where assembled by opportunity, the japanese army never used such a task force like yours to do more than one landing in it's entirety. But I'm trying to portrait closely what actually happened. Also the opponents (the Dutch) force is excacherated, but only by reason to compensate for the weak A1.
