We have identified some road/rail issues in Central California which matter in RHS because we make supplies
instead of get them free. Hex side coding prevented soem roads/major rail lines from working efficiently -
and other hex sides do not permit movement at all (either blocked or water when they are both) - we will
test changing these from the next turn on to see if SF can be a better supply source?

18 January 1942 The Fall of Hong Kong; surrender of Manila garrison
24 days later than history, Hong Kong surrendered to a much larger force - eventually
more than double the historical one - because of the difficulty of victory. Analysis indicates
the problem was a vastly greater defense force: for some reason the Kowloon Brigade
was formed at the wrong time by stock - it formed on the mainland later in the war -
and I had restored the Canadian battalions not allowed to appear in the stock data.
Some ships were still present in the city - and these either surrendered or - it appears -
ran to sea - two Allied TFs are in the hex
The former Manila garrison - including the only US Army regular regiment and a fine
Philippine Scouts regiment, USAFFE HQ, two Philippine Reserve Divisions, and other
units - all surrendered at Mauban - due mainly to lack of supply. We will engage units
at Clark next
Consolodation in Malaya continues - two units surrendered today - and another small
group of units remains in the North. Most units are headed to Singapore - which is
resisting assault by two reinforced divisions - but presumably they will run out of supplies
in due course Fortifications are Level 2.
General successes in China are due to lack of supplies - we are cutting enemy LOC and he
isn't moving into supply or to hurt ours - which are terribly vulnerable. Only mountains
present obsticles to ground combat we have not overcome. The guerilla units are doing
rather well - although two surrendered yesterday - it took well over 100:1 odds to get them
to do that - when out of supply and weakened by weeks of combat.

more than double the historical one - because of the difficulty of victory. Analysis indicates
the problem was a vastly greater defense force: for some reason the Kowloon Brigade
was formed at the wrong time by stock - it formed on the mainland later in the war -
and I had restored the Canadian battalions not allowed to appear in the stock data.
Some ships were still present in the city - and these either surrendered or - it appears -
ran to sea - two Allied TFs are in the hex
The former Manila garrison - including the only US Army regular regiment and a fine
Philippine Scouts regiment, USAFFE HQ, two Philippine Reserve Divisions, and other
units - all surrendered at Mauban - due mainly to lack of supply. We will engage units
at Clark next
Consolodation in Malaya continues - two units surrendered today - and another small
group of units remains in the North. Most units are headed to Singapore - which is
resisting assault by two reinforced divisions - but presumably they will run out of supplies
in due course Fortifications are Level 2.
General successes in China are due to lack of supplies - we are cutting enemy LOC and he
isn't moving into supply or to hurt ours - which are terribly vulnerable. Only mountains
present obsticles to ground combat we have not overcome. The guerilla units are doing
rather well - although two surrendered yesterday - it took well over 100:1 odds to get them
to do that - when out of supply and weakened by weeks of combat.

22 January 1942 More surface action and why ASW reform is needed
Napoleon said
'don't tell me if a commander is good,
tell me if he is lucky?'
Here an Allied commander ran into 4 subs but evaded 3 - ran the 4th out of torpedoes evading every one of them - and damaged it enough to send it home if it had any torpedoes left. A single DD with stock style weapons beat it up repeatedly and shows why the ASW revision is needed. But the armor - which has updated - may have limited the damage and avoided a kill.
The same commander evaded entirely two superior surface forces - never mind they spend two weeks within 40 miles of Darwin - and achieved a classic raid success - when he should have lost almost everything

'don't tell me if a commander is good,
tell me if he is lucky?'
Here an Allied commander ran into 4 subs but evaded 3 - ran the 4th out of torpedoes evading every one of them - and damaged it enough to send it home if it had any torpedoes left. A single DD with stock style weapons beat it up repeatedly and shows why the ASW revision is needed. But the armor - which has updated - may have limited the damage and avoided a kill.
The same commander evaded entirely two superior surface forces - never mind they spend two weeks within 40 miles of Darwin - and achieved a classic raid success - when he should have lost almost everything
