I noticed (not in your release, but the stock files), that there are zero convoys or merchants coming from Balikpapan. I'd expect to see that as a major origin for tankers. Early on there would be single, or possible unescorted groups of a couple ships. Later, small escorted convoys of tankers. A few subchasers, minesweepers, and other more lowly ASW units would sweep the area all the time, however.

I also didn't see much if anything (didn't look hard) going to and from the Aleutians or to Truk. Might be cool to see the Tokyo Express added to the Slot as well for August '42 to Jan '43.
