quote: ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake Bataan supplies just over 8000 with zero in the bank at Clark. Most of the Clark units are in the red. Do you have any bombers in reach of your bases? If so, they could ferry supplies (instead of using transports), and might be more resistant to fighters in the area.

The curious thing is we are landing troops at Sinabang (island off NW tip of Sumatra) with carrier support and I don't think they even saw us because an IJN surface force finds itself within range of 4 USN/RN carriers and 3 CVE's and dodges into a cloud bank or something. No Netties show up at Sinabang even though we are well within reach of Singers.
