Just came across an old screenshot of a campaign I made for PTO. You can see the production centers and invasion areas as little white or green edged squares on the map below.

I was able to put in invasion fleets, and frontlines over land are populated by ground.spawns and frontline.spawns, but the main drawback is that anti_ship missions were not available. PTO does not have shipping lanes. Given the history of the Pacific theatre, that inability to attack shipping seemed like an insurmountable drawback to pursue the campaign ideas for the PTO any further.
I never managed to get ship spawns using the Groundtype=direct approach to work, despite such spawns being used in ETO.
Since I did this, some great Japanese warships have been made so it is even more of a pity that they cannot be made to appear except as part of facilities like invasion fleets, etc.
