Tjepoe on Java was lost

I intercepted some bombers attacking the airfield at Siangtan and shot down 8 Anns and 6 Nates.

An interesting development around Changsha. It appears that he has switched his units to march on Changsha instead of
Siangtan. I have level 6 forts at Changsha and a little over 1200 AV and I am moving back some units that went to Siangtan.
And now the mouseover is showing 24 units instead of 7.

Larantoeka, Lomblen, Madioen, and Maumere were all lost today

Again I sent some British Blenheim IV bombers to bomb troops and my fighters did not escort and I do not know why.
I didn't lose any, but they didn't bomb either.

Bombing of troops at Bataan.

It would appear that he is doing the same thing he did last game. He is taking bases and either not leaving any forces there are very small ones.
Ndeni he took a few weeks ago and I have found it is void of troops, so I am landing a bunch of troops with CV coverage at Ndeni.

[Nomad]

April 28, 1942

Interesting, I sent recon aircraft over Ndeni twice and they showed no LCUs, but
now I land and there is a Naval Guard Unit there. I did bring the entire 3rd Infantry Division so
I will still be able to take the base, but it might take an extra day or two.

I am not sure I fully understand, but
Xargun crossed the river into Siangtan
I had 1300 AV enter the hex this turn in reserve mode, they show up on the
defending force AV, but I do not think they showed up in the adjusted defense.
He did bomb the three other units quite hard. I think I can hold for at least a while,
we will see. I have some more units moving in. I have 1775 AV in Siangtan now.

I am afraid that I will be losing the Changsha basin. There are 30 units in a stack one hex East of Changsha and I
probably can not resist them for long Changsha as about 1670 AS and level 6 forts, so it will hold for a turn or so
but most likely will fall. When that seems to be the case I will have to fall back into the forest and forest rough terain
North of the basin. I hate giving up the supply generation.

May 8, 1942

Ariel bombing recon and sigint indicated that in the Hex 81,53 SE of Siangtan was occupied
by the 11th Army HQ and the 12th RGC temp division. I sent a single corps from Hengyang to see if that was true
and attack across the river. It was a success. The HQ retreated but the division did not, we will
try again to get it to retreat. I want to move it into Siangtan to block that hex side and eliminate his supply
source for a while.

Here is a screenshot of the area. The unit 2 hexes SE of Siangtan is the HQ unit that just retreated.
There are now 30 units in Changsha, but I also had another 900+ AS arrive at Changsha this turn. I now have
2600 AS in Changsha, maybe I can hold

AS far as I can tell, this is all the LCUs he has to put into Changsha until he finds some more somewhere.
There is 53 enemy units in Changsha
