Bug fixed. Onto constructing Kyokujitsu!
Edit: spoke too soon, it re-emerged with a vengeance.

I could always redraw it for earlier in the game...

November 1941 - February 1942
Japan Declares War on United States
Japanese Ki-21 bombers arrived over Clark Field early December 8th to open the war against the Americans. Almost 100 American bombers and other aircraft were destroyed on the runways. The nearly 300 bombers and fighters then moved on to the American fleet moored in Manila harbor. Several cruisers and destroyers were sent to the bottom.
Within moments of the bombardment, 30,000 Japanese set ashore outside Bontoc north of Manila. A few hours later, 90,000 troops and tanks landed on the outskirts of Manila bay and immediately started advancing on the city itself. Shelling was underway before noon.
Half a world away, hundreds planes took the the sky to sink the main American fleet at Pearl Harbor. By mid-day, the entire American fleet was burning or sunk.
The battleship Ise sailed into striking distance of the American harbor to finish off several destroyers that were attempting to get under way.
Although the opening attack was a great success, the Carrier Zuikaku, as she was sailing home past Midway, was sunk by planes based out of Midway. Dutifully, her commander went down with the ship. A destroyer was dispatched to rescue the survivors.
South Pacific Falls Quickly
Japanese naval marines and army troops seized most of Borneo, Guinea, and the Philippines during January and March. Oil from Borneo was rushed to Tokyo to relieve fuel supply problems that had begun to crop up since Americans cut supplies in the summer.
Japanese merchant marine showed their efficiency when they delivered more than 300,000 soldiers to the South Pacific theater in less than two months. These soldiers quickly secured the American naval base at Davao after coming ashore to the South and the North.
The only resistance cells that remain are in Southern Borneo, Western Guinea, and the islands of Java and Sumatra. Japanese field commanders expect them to surrender just as easily as the Americans have in Wake, Guam, and all of Philippines.
Victory over British Garrison in Singapore
The British surrendered Singapore in early Febuary after a short Japanese campaign down the penninsula. The British commanders surrendered after Japanese general Tomoyuku Yamashita forced them onto the island of Singapore, where the British forces had no access to fresh water.
Although outnumbered 3:1, Yamashita's forces proved the superior of the cowardly British.
