The Indian Ocean Campaign - an East Indies Campaign DLC by the ABDA Team


Background
In the months following Pearl Harbor, the Imperial Japanese Navy conducted operations at sea, threatening British Royal Navy dominance in the area.

The most dangerous moment of the war, and the one which caused me the greatest alarm, was when the Japanese fleet was heading for Ceylon and the naval base there. The capture of Ceylon, the consequent control of the Indian Ocean, and the possibility at the same time of a German conquest of Egypt would have closed the ring and the future would have been black.
— Prime Minister Winston Churchill, April 1942

March 31, 1942, Japan had attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, her forces had overrun Hong Kong, Malaya, Singapore, the Dutch East Indies, and Burma. Now the Imperial Japanese Navy and Army were heating up for an assault on India, the jewel in the British imperial crown.

The Japanese had stunned Allied tacticians and experts with their superb aircraft, offensive spirit, and coordinated tactics, which sent Britain’s most modern battleship, HMS Prince of Wales, to the bottom of the ocean three days into the war and captured Singapore after 70 days of victorious fighting. Now they beat upon the gates of India.

Our next development focuses on the Indian Ocean Campaign, which serves as a chronological continuation of the East Indies Campaign. It uses many assets from the East Indies Mod. Following the surrender of Singapore, the fortified island of Ceylon became Britain's next line of defense in the eastern region. Consequently, the Royal Navy's East Indies Station was relocated to Colombo, establishing its headquarters at the shore base HMS Lanka. Considering these factors, we intend to utilize the East Indies Campaign as a core dependency for this project.

I know it's a hard wish, unless we don't have any further news, so I want the modders to create a campaign across the Atlantic or Mediterranean

[Venus Alien Ranger]

will it be a Allied or Japanese campaign? or both?

[SEAWOLF]

Well done! This is good news. Thanks to the Modders who look to expand the potential of this game.

what will it be about/ how much are you adding

[YorT]

I've updated the front page outlining some of the background and detail regarding this historical campaign.

We are still working on developing the asset list for now.

[YorT]

Operating from the Koggala lagoon, Allied airmen conducted aerial patrols of the Indian Ocean using long-range Catalina aircraft – multipurpose ‘flying boats’. With no satellites, and radar still in its infancy, these ‘eyes in the air’ offered crucial surveillance.
