PacG original map had been completely remade - primarily because of the size, but the old map was useless as well - again, the rivers which come from one spring and flows to second spring instead of mouth to sea, absurdly situated Ceylon, etc. .. Added a lot of cities, finished rivers, lakes. Fixed a senseless shape of Andaman Islands and corrected their location. For space reasons were shifted slightly to the west in order to "fit" into the map.

Scenario in dates:
December 20, 1942: India - Calcutta is bombed for the first time by the Japanese Air Force.
August 4, 1943: India - Famine reaches appalling proportions among the civilian population in Bengal, suffering from a break in traditional food-supply relations caused by the Japanese occupation of Burma, disrupted maritime traffic, conscription and transfer of labor to the war industry. The Secretary of State for India and Burma Leo Amery urges Churchill´s cabinet to address the situation threatening by disastrous political consequences, but government practically rejects it and insists on prioritizing the nutrition of human resources connected with the war effort. In total, nearly 3 million people in Bengal will starve to death by 1944.
September 10, 1944: In India - The Commission of Inquiry into the Fort Stikine disaster (cargo ship huge explosion on April 14th) publishes its findings. Faulty loading of the ship, the captains negligence and uncoordinated emergency services are all noted as contributing factors.
October 1, 1944: British India - American fighter pilot Martin James Monti decides to defect in Karachi, Pakistan. Thanks to a series of wiles, insolence and at the same time laxity, and the incredible gullibility of American military personnel, he manages to travel in uniform from Karachi aboard a Curtiss C-46 Commando transport aircraft to Cairo. He will continue on to Italy, from where he would fly a stolen P-38 fighter to the Germans, where it would enter the SS.
December 24, 1944: India - Japanese Air Force prerformances the last air raid of Calcutta.
August 18, 1945: In the Pacific - Subhas Chandra Bose, the Indian nationalist leader, is fatally injured at age 48. His Japanese plane crashed off of the island of Formosa en route to Tokyo.
