Just what I wouldn't do.
Build Soerbaya up for the Japanese to take.

Now, as a Japanese player, I would say go ahead and build it to a level 9 port.

Its only one port level...but it will take a ton of supply and engineers to get there. I tried it, but in the end wished I had built more forts instead.

Oh, I don't know - the one time I did that I never lost Java & my opponent surrendered in Aug '42. Might depend on the game, though.

Historically, the reloads were at Singapore.

You never lost Java and your opponent surrendered in Aug 42? Lol, what was that for a game?

I agree.
As an Allied player, forts are better.

Use the ML's once, and get them out.
Most are shortlegged, and will die if you don't.
Though back in the rear ports they can bolster your area with lots of mines.
I send half to India, and the remaining to Australia.
