Kitakami -> RE: JFB in charge of the USN??? (11/10/2017 1:49:15 AM)

Ok... got the combat report back. Getting mauled in the air, but twice I got a number of Betties, which is always nice. I am running out of fighters, though! Also, Batavia is being shut down by rather efficient A6M2s and B5N2s.
On land, the story is quite different, though. My esteemed opponents words were: "You are smart my friend. You have me stalled on several fronts, and I'll need to do some thinking quick before it gets too late. My troop losses are getting heavy, and I have to decide what to do next. My current thinking is you have a lot of troops in places where they normally wouldn't be, so... it means other places might be good areas to umm...... well... we'll see" (edited for format).

In Cagayan and Clark Field I am slowly losing the battle. In the first because of lack of supply, and in the second because most units are already in Manila. In Ichang it is a stalemate. Should I even be bombarding?
All in all, I can't complain. The land results were too good.
