Well, it looks like the KB will make it back to Singapore! In the middle, Scott took Djambi in an airborne assault. I guess he captures the oil fields that way but it does not really matter. I wasn't getting that oil out at any point in the near future. In the south, an armored battalion crossed the river, and, despite the fact that it attacked at 1-50 into the swamp with level 5 forts it took no losses (I did have 47 mm AT guns there so it's not like I was helpless). Two plans for the near future. First, once the KB is refueled its 6 hexes to Padang where there is a whole lot of allied shipping but all of the CVs are off the coast. So, mass sweep from Singapore along with anti ship strikes from LBA and the KB (with the ranges set so that they can only attack Padang) and I might be able to reap some additional allied merchant ships and surface units. Second, this turn, mass LBA bombing at very low altitude along with sweeps over the base hex next to Palembang. And, I'll bombard the armor unit in Palembang to try to shock attack it out of there. Fuel is a concern now since I have no source for it. I'm sending another big shipment to the HI but I'll probably only have 30K or so in Singapore. No more long range raids for me!
