Hi all,
Hi Rob - thanks buddy I have e-mailed Faber about this and it's down to him now. If he wishes to concede and we can start over. It's up to him.
I personally would like to finish this if for nothing other than the sheer amount of time and effort expended on the game and this AAR............
------------------
More massed bombing in Burma. The Japanese at Pagan are down to almost 650 AV now...........
More men have reached the last 60 miles of trail north of Rangoon. We await the remaining men...........should be there by 3 days time.
The last remnants of 100th Chinese Corps should be at Myitkyina tomororw. Then we march on Rangoon to reinforce the Allies............
-------------------
Supplies flowing ashore at Koepang and Maumere. Once unloaded we begin the bombing campaign against Balikpapan, Macassar and Kendari.
An enemy convoy was attacked 60 miles north of Macassar by Mitchells and Helldivers from Maumere. 2 x Freighter took a bomb hit.
