Derby: That LYB unit marching on Derby is identified as 5th Amphbious Brigade. They were roughed up pretty badly by air interdiction. Not sure what AV value 5th Amphbious Brigde would have but my guess they will not have "the mostest" when they cross the river and bump up against a full USMC Regt at 100% prep. Burma: JJ goes after 77th Chindit again. We are out of replacement RAF Hurricanes. A demi-squadron of Tenth Air Force P-38's is almost ready.
