fat lot of good it is doing. You will all be pleased to hear that johore baru fell to my troop this turn. I am at the gates of singapore, where no fewer than 21 enemy units has been waiting for me since the start of the game. My sonias got HAMMERED by flak this turn - and I lost 11 of about 36 over singapore. Unfortunately my bombing there is yet to make the sort of dent that I'm consistently making at Clark (150 enemy soldiers, a bit of suplpy and a few guns are destroyed every turn at clark). My main force is nearing Johore Bharu and I will spend a few turns resting them from their march, and preparing them for the assault ahead. In the PI, my troops have rested a little (not enough) but I've decided it is time. I need those troops to take Clark, then manila and Batan before I am able to begin my DEI conquest. More troops are shipping in, but I've committed as many resources as I am able at the moment. China was a mistake. However a victory at Lanchow in the future will probably make up for it somewhat. I do have a plan ready for when Raver's relief troops out of the industrial heartland try to relieve their troops, but to be honest I don't think Raver is going to go for it. Why would he? Sure, he's going to loose 70000 troops eventually, but he a: gets 30 days without having to supply them, which means his other troops will finally be able to make ends meet (chinese troops are just too numerous toe ver have a supply surplus) b: gets them all back in 30 days - which is faster than I can march my massive army from Lanchow to the industrial heartland anyway. Rangoon was an aboluste gold mine of fuel and supply, resources and industry. I have 2 mixed inf regiments at Moulmein, along with Burma army HQ and one of m other armoured units moving to garrison the place, while my base forces and a few SNLF units sit at Moulmein for the moment. The division at Rangoon has marched a long way, and so will be resting until their fatigue drops noticably. The rest of the map is very quiet - even though I've been a very busy worker bee indeed. I have plans laid for 9 important war winning operations - but I will not commit to any of them until a: I know where Raver's CVs are, b:I have finished the PI, DEI and Malaya off, and c: Have either given up at Lanchow or won there, allowing a redistribution of necessary force.
