PM - Using existing seaplanes, I've started evacuating Lark Bn. from Rabaul to PM. I also expended PP to convert 53rd Bn. in Townsville to Aus I Corps, and I'll move them to PM very quickly. I have convinced myself that Mike will make a serious effort to take PM this game. Last time he couldn't do it, and I used PM to turn Rabaul into a relief map of the moon. I also plan on moving VP-101 and VP-102 from the PI to Oz to help transport troops to PM. This is a stopgap measure until I can get some shipping up there. SEAC - General evacuation of troops from Burma via Rangoon and up the road/rail towards Chittagong. I'll use some of them to attempt a delaying action so I can beef up Chittagong, Imphal, etc. Troops in India are already headed for that area. Carriers - All are headed back to PH via Johnston Island to stay away from Mike. I'll reorganize them and get them moving towards Auckland in the next few days. I plan on moving the Brit carriers from India down to Auckland as well, probably via Cape Town/Falklands, etc. Sure would like to spring that little surprise on him eventually. Thats it for the moment.
