Yes. edit: An easy check is to see if any ships that are in a size 9 or 10 port that are due to withdraw at some point in the game, can be withdrawn.

Favorable loss ratios again but it's getting desperate. Units are kept in line until they have 50% disablement then I send them back to Bataan for refit. 4th Marine is like an understrength Bn and the US Army Regt is light on heavy weapons and maybe 20% line infantry strength. We are running low on M-10's too. 18 Shermans left.
