Did You Know I Used to Drive a Rollercoaster?: Apbarog(A) vs OPilot(J)
"I don't know where I'm goin'
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
Here I go again, here I go again
Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'Cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams
Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
Here I go again..."

Pass this info on to him.
Do orders just for your Japanese airplanes. Save in Slot 10 and label it "Air."
Save the same file in Slot 20. Then, hit the "E" to end orders phase.
Open the game as Allies PBEM and create PW (I use 'test'). Don't change or do orders for any units. Save in Slot 21. Then, hit the "E" to end Allies orders phase.
Have Japan open slot 21 and run turn using his actual PW. Take notes of what orders need to be changed. Exit game and open slot 10. Make changes and do this until he is sure his air attacks are correct. This is how a Japanese player can test his non-historic orders. So, now that Air is correct, save in slot 10 and in slot 11 (label Navy). Slot 10 is the fallback file until he does the same for his new Navy orders. He can reuse slot 20 & 21 over and over again as they are just place holders for the Allies as test. He then does ground (slot 12) and some economy stuff (slot 13). When I first played japan, I broke down orders and testing into 4 parts.

OPilot is making progress on his first turn, and has learned how to use the Japanese teleporting TFs for a non-historical start. He says that he'll finish the turn sometime this week. Then, my first turn will be very short, only moving existing TFs and checking settings on bases, not much else. My long turn will the the second turn, after viewing the first combat.
OPilot says that he is inclined to go after Singapore, much as Aurorus did. We'll see. I do hope to save Prince of Wales and Repulse, but if KB comes very close to Singapore, with Allied TFs only moving in one phase of the first non-historical turn, my ships can't go far.
