Forced in Sakhalin are out of supply - and my dreadnoughts can no longer rearm there. Since their damages are hitting oranges anyway, I'm sending them home. It's going to hurt me in Hokkaido, though, especially since all 4 AA regiments that just landed are defense only.
No despair; 3rd regiment of 3rd division is on the way as well as one whole other division. And another batch of raiders is about to sack Singapore in the morning.

I have the worst luck getting tank cos to the frontlines: this is my 2nd or 3rd one lost en route... The problem is they fit on one transport, so if it goes down...
Which reminds me, I haven't seen the ex-German subs in a long, long time.
4 regiments are still en route to Hokkaido, due in a few days.
2 regiments due to Naga region in PI, ETA - 3 weeks. Time to take Manila back.
Raiders are starting to run out of ammo - and the nearest point of resupply is Midway.
