Last reinforcements from India arrives in Malaya and DEI: a large SNLF unit and a Engineer Regiment. Building a lot of forts and preparing a stubborn stand. We have no more land to trade now. Considering whether I should withdraw more troops to the inner citadel. Not sure were I could take them from. Currently I'm releasing Oscar II units from the Home Islands. Think I'll be needing them elsewhere soon. AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 09/09/44 Invasions Andy was forced to deploy troops from 4 RCUs to conquer Ponape - a place we had forsaken....
