In WiTP Vanila, this was a common technique of mine for holding Luzon indefinitely. I would lose >50% of these ships, but enough would make it in to keep the garrison alive for *just* a little longer. With practice, I was able to hold Luzon permanently, making a wonderful springboard into an earlier counteroffensive than historical. Since supply is one of the main reasons this garrison falters, it stands to reason that more supply will help them hold out longer. I doubt this will work for long in WiTP:AE, but it's worth a shot. Use one ship xAKLs at maximum speed, particularly in patches of poor weather. Try a variety of routes-North of Borneo, South from Mindanao or even sailing around the North of Luzon (maybe the computer has moved all Netties away?). After you've lost a few ships, you'll be able to ferret out which routes met the greatest success. Try those until that gate gets closed. Good luck! Keep those bullets and beans flowing to the Battlin' Bastards of Bastogn.....wait, that's different. Well, good luck anyways.
