ORIGINAL: Chris H The two Aus Bdes (22 & 27) are part of the 8th Aus Div as are the three Aus Bn (Sparrow, Gull and Lark), two of which are in Darwin. The 8th Aus Div isn't in play so you need to combine all of these units under the same command. The Bdes are attached to the Malaya Army which is restricted while the Bns are attched to Far East Cmd (ABDA) which isn't. The chance of getting the Aus Bdes out of Malaya intact is remote but if you are going to do it then it must be done immediately but that cost pps which you do not have. Leave them, dig in in Singas and hope they can make the Japanese assult costly. Once the two Bdes are destroyed I'd change the Bns left to an Aus Corp and recombine them into the 8th Aus Div. Put in a well stocked base (I used Perth) you will have a full Div by Mid late 1943 that will be well trained. This was against the AI but I don't see why it couldn't be used against a PBEM. Agreed, in a PBEM you are hopeless to gather enough PP to get them out - against the AI its possible with enough damage done to the Japanese, one thing I made sure of in my current game - I loaded up any spare planes to naval attack around Singapore and did manage to nail a transport carrying extras out - however becareful of this - I was extending my range beyond fighter escort and did lose a few betties in the process. It may be possible to save evacuation TF carrying those brigades by using waypoints and LRCAP if necessary even vs human player. Problem is, there no inherent AP capacity to load all of them into TF in Singapore. So, while gathering PP, Allied player needs also to gather xAPs for the task and send them to Singapore. For IJ Player, landing them to Java or Palembang with 18th UK Div might cause more trouble than evacuating them to Australia. This was my opponents idea, he got roughly 40% of the 27th out and landed with the 18th in Java, somehow that 40% got kicked out of surabaya, somehow a fraction of this unit ended up in an isolated hex for a while, untouched while I was building Java into a fortress in the mean time - fast forward till a week ago ingame (probably a year ago since this happen) my opponent sent me this information on how he got the unit out with subs to rebuild in Perth. I had no clue, I would suggest a Japanese player keep a SNLF on this hex where this unit was located, although it posed no real danger form its size, but I have never noticed it in a year. Edit: if anyones interested I will show a picture of what i'm talking about
