The rest of the units dropped on Luangprabang and Vinh are coming in by air transport, as is supply. I'll work this very hard to keep these bases, but it's going to be tough...and Vinh is impossible. There's a chance at Luangprbang, because the Allies can use 2EB and 4EB to really rough up John's troops. I think he'll commit a small unit first. By the time he brings in a big enough unit to manhandle paratroops, perhaps it'll be too late. But he should be able to overwhelm the defenses at Vinh. The original plan (revealed here for the first time) was to take Samah, Hainan Island, by paratroop. Lashai Brigade - a good Indian unit - was 100% prepped and had just arrived at newly taken Pegu. But John strongly reinforced the base a week earlier. Had my plan worked, I would have then sent a division or more plus lots of support troops and supply via ship from the Philippines, escorted by full Death Star. It was worth it, because John would have trouble putting together a counter invasion against two well defended beaches while Death Star was in the Philippines.
