Les forces alliées s'élèvent à :
- 1 division de Marines,
- 4 divisions US,
- 2 brigades néo-zélandaises,
- 1 bataillon de chars des Marines,
- 2 bataillons de chars US,
De nombreuses troupes de soutien.
Les japonais peuvent prendre les Fiji, mais ce sera long et sanglant.
De plus le temps du dos rond pour les alliés est terminé.
Les forces chargées de la contre attaque se sont embarquées il y a plusieurs jours et naviguent vers leur objectif.
Dans 5 à 6 jours (tours de jeu), une grande opération devrait chambouler les plans japonais.
