Status: offline 		Question for you JFB's out there. Has anyone attempted during the 12/7/41 moves to take Japanese troops and land at Malacca while simultaniously landing on the Khota Bharu side of Malaya? Object being to block the LOC to Singapore. I don't know if you can or Can't, or if there are HR's imposed to prevent that. Just intersted if anyone has tried it and what there results are. I'm contemplating starting a new game as the Japanese and wonder if such a move is, well, possible...

there´s the hr around of not landing on the Western side of Malaya as long as Singapore still holds...

I landed in Mersing during my game running now.
with heavy BB suport it was taken fairly easy, with only CL Kashi taking a single torp from air operations.
Landing baseforces in Sonkhia & Khota baru is something that comes in handy to supress air missions over Mersing.

The Malaya Campaign is a succes due to the landing in Mersing (and despite almost 1000 AV landing after turn 1 because i screwed up some of the movement bonuses )

Yep,

If you use the right tactics an Invasion will come through, if you send unsuported transports in they will get smashed.
