On the bright side Ive picked up North Male on the cheap and now have I/143rd Infantry Bn available to help out with the debacle further south. II/143rd at Deigo Garcia is in good shape with AV of 33. They are on par with the defenders and that is where I/143rd will head to first. III/143rd is in terrible shape at AV of 2 and the rest disabled. They have a splinter left on one of the transports so they are heading back to a safe port to rebuild should (as I expect it will) the unit be lost. If III/143rd make it through the rest of the day they may gain some respite as a 3 battleship bombardment TF is on the way deliver some nasty treatment to these stout defenders. The carriers, which are on the return from the western side of India will also lend a hand in subduing these defences. As for the damage to our ships. CL Yubari is at 03 09(04) 00 28 fires not good but should be controlled. xAK Kenyo Maru is at 13 06(03) 01(01) 44 fires worse but on the hopeful side the crew of this ship is at 51 experience in day time so that may be helpful. xAK Xenyo Maru is at 04 00 00 03 should not be a problem and xAK Okikaze Maru 06 00 00 40 if we are going to lose a ship this is the one I expect to go first. xAK Naruto Maru is at 04 00 00 00 and so all is good here. All up Im not too unhappy with the result given it was a land grab based more on bravado than super good planning. BURMA 12 Ki-43-Ic Oscar sweep Katha.
