Status: offline 		Here's a T30 look at Burma now. I've only just now gotten all my units into positions on the front line. If Tom has one more unit
I'll be outflanked. And I think maybe I can hold here for a while. I don't have any units coming to the rescue besides two divisions
from Malaya that are on their way here now. But they won't be much help since they are tired and worn out.

looking like there's no bridge repair going to happen soon. And supply is so low in this area that my units are
going to be low budget for a while.

the river and I'm having trouble containing all of them.

Status: offline 		Here's the same view in T33. The Allies are breaking out and pushing the Japs backward. There's one particularly strong
Allied division that is spearheading the whole thing and the Japs don't have anything comparable at hand. It's not looking
very good on this front.

for this assault. This is big. This is bigger than Singapore all of a sudden.

shoving but there's not much movement going on lately.

way too tired and worn out to attempt to push onto the busted bridge to fix it. In other words, north China is still inaccessable.

Status: offline 		I just noticed a potential disaster. An Allied column is marching toward the river in an area where I have no Jap troops. This
theatens Hanoi and eventually Saigon. Not good. And there's no Japanese reserve to draw troops from.

anybody very long so I still have a problem in that area.

and then there's the incursion near the paratroops that will only get worse. Tom is doing a good job.

unit is down to 44% readiness and I'm pretty sure the city is going to fall soon.

Status: offline 		Thomas decided that the AAA leatheality level ( how do you spell that ? ) was too low and he wanted to do a few tests to find
a better number and do a re-start. And this time Tom is going to handle the Japs. He's an expert at this scenario and so I'm
excited to get started on the new game. Stay tuned.

EDIT: Okie dokie I've received some moves from Tom and true to his form he's made landings all over the Pacific and the
Pearl Strike went swimmingly for him. The playback seems to have a tiny problem in that any unit that gets killed at any
point in the replay is invisible for the duration of the entire replay. D'oh.

At any rate Tom made some landings on the west side of Malaya and the Phillippines and on New Guinea and Borneo. Or is it
the Celebes. As you can see in the image there are red dots springing up in the South Pacific. Tom tells me he devestated the
shock level for the Allies so that the correct number of ships would be disabled in the Pearl Strike and that shock level will be in
effect for a couple of turns so I probably shouldn't do any attacking until the shock level improves.

Status: offline 		All the Chinese units are in some kind of garrison mode and I can't move or attack with them. And these early turns are
relatively important to get the units in good positions. There must be a good reason for this however, we'll have to ask
Tom about this.

anywhere from where he is now.
