[Jagdfluger]

Singapore falls, so Burma and beyond is vulnerable. With naval forces transfered to Australia and land forces transfered to Burma, India should be an easy conquest.

[Przemcio231]

HAHA yes Singapore has fallen[:(] but no matter India is Well Protected my subs are doeing a great Job bagging two more jap ships last day... soon Mytkila will fall and then my forces can bust up defence around Rangoon...
