Status: offline 		How to do this ?
Seems to be an island and my LCU´s don´t want to walk over from Malaya mainland. A naval landing is actually no option,
so i thought i have it to bomb and then use the para SNLF units from Formosa. But i have not a good feeling for this operation...
Is there no other way to grab it ?

I think you are looking for problems where there are none. I am pretty sure my PBEM opponent just walked into Georgetown from the mainland with a decent size force and captured it in a couple of days.

So, the best way to get there is to land on the east side of the peninsula (Kota Bharu or Patani) and march westward to Georgetown. (That's my plan in the game I am starting.)

But one of my LCU´s said it can´t march into that hex when i tried to give that order. Have to try again.
Thanks guys.

I am pretty sure I have no problems getting there. It just takes a while and you need to be patient sometimes.

Personally I am still at the early stages of my games and so am not quite there yet but soon, very soon!! :-))
