Example 3.3 (Battle of the Bismarck Sea)
In 1943 the northern half of New Guinea was controlled by
the Japanese, the southern half by the allies. The Japanese
wanted to reinforce their troops. This could happen using
two different routes: (1) north (rain and bad visibility) or
(2) south (weather ok). Trip should take 3 days.
The allies want to bomb the convoy as long as possible. If
they search north, they can bomb 2 days (independently
of the route taken by the Japanese). If they go south, they
can bomb 3 days if the Japanese go south too, and only 1
day, if the Japanese go north.
