As it says in the title.
For whatever reason modern New Zealand finds itself ISOT'd to a magical realm of before time circa 1942 where Imperial Japan has managed to capture all of the Solomon Islands as well as New Caledonia, Fiji and Vanuatu following a successful Operation FS. NOW Imperial Japan has set its sights on modern New Zealand.
For whatever reason... there'll be no interference from the rest of the 1942 world ALTHOUGH Japan has only designated certain units to invade New Zealand and capture it for Japan and they'll come in waves...
First Japanese Invasion Force (lazily based off of the Port Moresby Invasion Force):
Initial Invasion and Occupation force, led by Rear Admiral Sadamichi Kajioka:
Second Japanese Invasion Force (lazily based off of the Midway-Aleutians Campaign):
Might Fleet led by Marshal Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto:
And the Defenders!
New Zealand Army
Extras:
Japanese get access to New Zealand guidebooks/road atlases.
The New Zealand Defence Forces get all of their troops including those deployed overseas to defend their country. They'll also still get regularly scheduled imports for the next few months (cargo airplanes will show up at airports and cargo ships at ports) but can be intercepted by the Japanese. New Zealand can make orders for replenishment but not entirely new vessels, reinforcements or new equipment and things of that nature. Just replenishment or replacement of existing material.
New Zealand is aware of a Japanese Fleet departing to invade New Zealand via spooky omniscient narration stating as much but will have to detect the incoming invaders using their own resources. Anything using GPS for the New Zealanders still works as well as local internet, satellite-based communications and the like. But no help beyond what is stipulated above will be permitted into the battlespace.
If New Zealand manages to defeat both Invasion attempts they get to be transported back to their own time/space for motivation and ya know... not live under Japanese occupation.
Japan's objective is to obviously capture as much of New Zealand as possible but alas, they only have the military assets as stated above.
