The Japanese still held complete naval superiority and near total domination in the air.

New Guinea and the Solomons.
So many battles and stories for nearly the whole war.
The Battle of Leyte Gulf was very interesting. I especially am fond of the story of Taffey 3 and the Battle off Samar. It brings a tear to the eye thinking about the bravery of those officers and sailors aboard those tin cans and jeep carriers.I like the Battle of Leyte Gulf cause it is the largest naval battle in WWII and it includes one of the only 2 battleship vs battleship engagements in the pacific campaign.
None actually, but since I am moving to Alaska

The invasion of Luzon and the Battle of Manila are my favorites. General Krueger's use of air, naval and economy of force measures to fight a tough campaign are an awesome study. I have to follow that with obscurity with the Solomons fights, specifically Bougainville and fight for Hill 700 followed by the Corps artillery duel there. New Georgia and Guadalcanal are also at the top!
