Severe storms ove PH may ground JJ and hamper our attacks. About our only hope is the LYB's elect to take a day or two off to regroup. I think we had a case of Stalemate Disease"

Ugh...that's nasty.

Look at the bright side, I guess...disruption in the remaining 9 squads appears low.

ETA: In spite of watching their comrades fall around them and being entirely outclassed and outnumbered, morale appears high in all your LCUs. Jolly good job of generalship, sir. Jolly, jolly good. They'll be quite contented and productive POWs if this trend continues.

ETA II: Oops. Sorry. Forgot that the Japs are unlikely to take prisoners.

Ah...splendid! We do own the hexside that goes out to sea. All we need then are about 20,000 innertubes.

Can you 'move' your 32nd ID out of the hex towards a point of supply? It's not doing you much good there anyways. If you can clear the hex side ownership, you may be yet able to salvage a retreat.

Status: offline 		Since I haven't played for a while I'm not really sure of this, but I don't think 32ID (and partners) can open up a retreat route by themselves. I think some outside unit has to move in to the hex to change the hexside ownership. I could be wrong though?

The options are:

March overland from Exmouth or Meekathara

Paradrop or beach landing in an adjacent hex and march in (I dont think we have a house rule against this)

Capture Corunna and march North

Stand to the last man in place

Hmmm...that limits your options considerably. Too bad. Could you move 32ID out and then move 'em back in, or is all movement (other than the innertube option) off for them?

Nope. They'll be eating rice in a Sapporo POW camp by the time that March makes it in to PH.

Maybe. I'd drop on the trail, so's to expedite your march in in that case.

quote:


Capture Corunna and march North

My second choice, as this would take more time to march up the trail.

How very iron-man dictatorish of you. Idi Amin (WWIIc) would be proud.

I think we have a rule about beach landing at non-base/dot hex beaches but I dont think we have a limitation on air landing....but I can't remember.

That is why we have Admiral Lord Sprior to consult on such matters.

Something tells me he isn't going to make it to Korean War(c).
