If I remember correctly you have with some delays followed the historical line of the battle in the Pacific.

One of the reasons that the Americans won the Battle of Midway was that at the point of attack they were -numerically speaking- more or less on par with the Japanese, because the Japanese had split the KB (Coral Sea), which in turn was down to four carriers at Midway (and the rest of the fleet was too far away to support the KB).
Molon Lobe's opponent now seems to keep the KB together, and -just as it was historically- Molon Lobe simply doesn't have the assets to counter the KB in a direct engagement (not yet, that is).
His opponent is indeed behind schedule in many of the land battles (even though he has taken Midway and Guadalcanal, if I remember correctly), but at sea the KB still dominates the seas wherever his opponent sends it.
