Situation: All of I Corps is light on heavy weapons and the Indian unit has no armour. They are the survivors of the Sabang landing. [image]local://upfiles/7983/EB1A618E2E554006B033E74639AC4B7E.jpg[/image]

Hexsides. 19 Brigade SE of Padang has 12 x 2Pdr AT guns but not towed arty. I think that is a Jap Tank Bn in their front. [image]local://upfiles/7983/FE531B8F9D2240EFA829329B61F89108.jpg[/image]

17 Brigade has most of their arty but is light on infantry. They have a very strong mountain position to block one of the roads from Djambi. 18 Brigade and I Corps HQ will have to fall back toward Sawahlberto which has about 7000 engineers and AAA troops and some Indian infantry. AF there is 85% ready. AF at Batoe is 95% ready. I turned off construction so they could both go live at the same time but we might need Batoe first.

I am making some scratch gumbo so I pulled out the creole seasoning and the top was off so it was in clumps from the 8% SoCal humidity so I shake the can to break to creole spice rocks up and it won't pour right so I bang it into my palm and little tiny moth falls out....and the thing is obviously seizing. Full status epilepticus. It's not stopping. I put him out of his misery and use the rest of the can (JK). Not sure if I caused moth brain damage shaking the can or he ingested too much salt. Either way he died happy
