feel like dropping some paratroops near Singapore and hoping for the best.

fix the mixed group thing and we can continue on with the game.

the attack itself. Live and learn.

just sit opposite each other trading blows. I'm going to institute some kind of bombardment via the air to try to persuade the
British to give up.

Status: offline 		I'm finding that partisans are a particular problem in Vietnam. They are hard to track down and harder to destroy. They like to slip
out of your surrounding net. I'm going to need some more troops here to round them up.

Status: offline 		I always hate the partisans when I am the Allies. They are invisible and can slip through your net. To get them cleared out you must have a solid line of troops and push them up against a river or another solid line of troops. The partisans can't do much damage but they can flush airfields and wreck rails. It is a real pain having to deal with them to be sure.

hexes and my troops are red-tired.It's looking like the Soviets might break through.

EDIT: Ooooooops. I posted this picture to the wrong AAR. My bad..

Status: offline 		So um....I'm in the process of ending up the mop up of the PI and the troops that were employed there are going to Singapore.
I've run into a bottleneck in Malaya and these troops might make a difference. Java is calling to me. I'm leaning toward maybe
invading OZ this time.

I'm not comfortable with my security level reguarding the partisans. The seem to turn up everywhere. I'll be happy to
be rid of them finally when I am finally rid of them.

Owens mountain range and attack from the north. And I can use better odds this time.

Status: offline 		Here's a close up on the Guadacanal area. I had to evacuate my ground unit from Santa Isabel to Guadacanal because there's no
supply to be had there. It was embarrassing. The Allies have flown a substantial number of fighters into the area and especially that
Lexington Fighter group......excellent pilots flying Wildcats so far. I'm going to need some of my carrier pilots to take them on. Or one
of my expert land based groups. Certainly not one of the Nate groups. Those guys are only good for training or deep in China. Maybe
use them against the P-40 but not the Wildcat. And especially not the Lexington Fighter pilots. That would just get them killed and
some planes lost.

Status: offline 		I'm seeing a lot of the aircraft units that have to be adjusted in their global range. The individual ranges of the separate aircraft
in the unit aren't always similar and need checking. In this instance there's a significant amount of Sonia's but I decided that the
range of the Sonia wasn't enough for the ranges needed in China so I went with the Sally's range instead. Seems to work.

Status: offline 		You'd think the natural progression for the Guadacanal expansion project would include Espirito Santo and New Caledonia
in that order but a recon of E.S. ( code named holy ghost ) reveals the equivalent of a light division there. So some softening
up might be in order. Some bombing and maybe a light fighter sweep once in a while. So I need to export the spotter plane
and import some Sonia's or Sally's or equivalent and start the beat down. Sounds like it's going to take about a month of
steady pounding to make some headway at all. And I'll probably have to swap out the bombing group about halfway through.
This might take some planning.

Status: offline 		Straight east of Guadacanal one finds Ellis Island. I haven't come up with a good code name for Ellis Island yet. I'll give it some
thought. Anyway, E.I. appears to be a softer target for an invasiion but still not a pushover. And I'll need the carriers for top
cover for this one. The Allies may interviene when I try this target.
