We'll be operating on two fronts simultaneously. One heavy tank (with your strongest tank general) will go south to support the Japanese ally in taking Port Moresby. Units produced there can defend against the Australian attempt to land units and take back the cities. Some naval units try to take/steal the eastern port of this island (New Guinea). This port will produce submarines to take out Nimitz' and Halsey's aircraft carriers.
The other tanks (heavy and medium) will move east and establish control over those two islands. They may also help the rest of our fleet (including the double stacked cruiser) with defeating Fletcher and his ships.
Port Moresby is empty because Assault didn't trigger :-( Half of the American fleet can be trapped behind the island and then attacked from a save distance by the heavy tank. The other half in front of the eastern islands is sunk by a combination of our ally's aircraft carriers and our eastern fleet.
We got the port at about the center of the map and the city on the first of the eastern islands.
The Lv3 city of New Guinea was taken with better Assault luck and Port Moresby is already under attack by Australian navy. The American fleet to the east is almost vanquished and Fletcher is taking hits from the cruiser and submarines.
I moved the cruiser to help the western submarine fleet with Halsey and Nimitz. (It can also attack the city between the two American aircraft carriers to allow a paratrooper to land and unlock an additional general skill). In my case, Port Moresby was empty due to Australian naval bombardment so I sent a paratrooper there for more income.
Spamming light infantry at the western island can prevent the Australians from landing their units. The heavy tank there takes them out if it's possible to one hit KO them or reduces the stronger units to below 50% health. Nimitz will be sunk soon and the medium and heavy tank on the eastern most island are about to take the last target city.
