Masses of troops squeeze into the base at Buna - they are conspicuous by there lack of size, type or (and most importantly) capability. It appears the lack of supplies and time with malaria have severely wasted their ability to attack. His shock attack is heavily repulsed.
My men are starting to show fatigue from their successful attacks at Dobadura and the March to Buna though.

Defending force 23604 troops, 333 guns, 0 vehicles

Unnecesary for sounding him out after the heavy attack
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My aussies are going to try and attack this turn. All the bombers that attacked this turn are repeating the does. This time most of the heavies are joining in. Also Lee is going ot bombard - give the aussies every chance to fulfill their chances at taking the place.
Attached is a snapshot of the forces I am up against - you can see they are not very effective anymore.
