One of the Imperial artillery types was destroyed but no idea yet which one.
Imperial shipping activity continues at Cagayan.
At Bataan, the quartermaster for the 4th Marine Regiment finally located that presumed-lost equipment delivery he'd been looking for all these weeks of chaos and destroyed crates. He tallied enough inventory for a few additional rifles per squad (anti-soft from 20 to 23) and goodly supply of sticky bombs to stop enemy tanks (anti-armor from 10 to 15). "Now," he thought, " we can take a few more enemy squads with us."
DEI, Dutch new Guinea, Borneo, Malaya

The problem is that Liuchow and Kweilin are both well of their way to being surrounded, as with many things somewhat faster than we hoped. We will now withdraw from Liuchow and Kweilin to more favorable terrain.
Just west of Shaoyang (3 hexes west of Changsha) three good units are holding the road against whatever enemy has arrived to cut it. All of our units now in Shoayang will arrive in-hex tomorrow, so let's hope the Imperials order a shock attack. We just might do so the day after.
Two enemy units crossed the river into a - this time - undefended Hengyang.
Our force near Nanyang made it out of the hex without further ground assault. In the graphic below you can see the Empire is already pursuing.
India, Burma, Thailand, Indochina
Our counter-thrust was ejected.
