Just caught back up, I wish Matrix had a system for book marking pages, perhaps they do? Enjoying
the coverage in Burma, can you see Bhamo? Could be ripe for some parachutes? I'm curious if he
will hold on to his bridgehead east of Katha...

If Bhamo is the one near Myitkyina, yes I see it but I have no paratroops available/ready. I'm trying to walk the Chindits out of China but they will probably get mauled before they do that.

East of Katha is where his units were retreated to. I suspect he's trying to walk all of them out but maybe he's treating it as a salient like you say. I can't really tell.

Here is the URL for the bookmark I use for this AAR. Whenever the AAR flips over to a new page I just edit the bookmark and increment the page number at the end of the URL.
