Hopefully Phillipine Is. will be a slow attrition war- I REFUSE to be sucked into an attack because Larry keeps referring himself as being outmanned and outgunned in Manila!
I keep thinking back to what Michael said about RA defenses and stacking there , I now know what he means about the penalties, Too Late to do anything about it now!
I am ALWAYS willing to take advice in this game, Larry seems to be getting the bulk of it so far... must be his avatar pix, LOL!

RE: 16Jan42 Moo v. Fulkerson - 
, you need that 900 oil and 1000 refinery in tact! You're stretched very thinly in the DEI and you're trying to take Malaya and PI at the same time. See if you can round up a few troops at some of the secured bases and ship them to Paley. Historically you are quite a bit ahead as far as invasions are concerned. Also try not to use any engineers when taking a base that has facilities in it - they tend to blow sh!t up unnecessarily 
If you have good odds against your opponent use just a deliberate attack, using a shock attach also runs the risk of doing damage to facilities (oil, refinery, resources, etc). I can see a number of enemy TF's at Bataan!! Nooo! you've got to make sure he cant get supply to his troops in Manila or Bataan, He'll end up being able to hold out for months if he can get supplies through, worse - he'll be able to build fortifications. Blockage Bataan and keep bombing the port and/or airfields in Manila and Bataan - this has the effect of preventing him from building forts. The game engine works such that if port or airfields are damaged then engineers will repair them first before switching to building forts.
