AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 04/22/42
A good day for the British Empire today.
Supplies in Karachi, since yesterday, have augmented to 282,000!!!..more than 2000 supplies more!! Don't ask me how and why[&:][:D]...despite the usual heavy air bombing!
I won't allow replaments for the moment in Karachi...nor in Manila(which is still at 13,400 supplies)...maybe some AA units or some arty...but not now...Jim's right...have to wait untill he moves back his CAs....
However he lost 11 units due to flak only today over Karachi...quite a lot considering that my AA is completely destroyed at the moment!
At Nanchang he sent in another eng unit...alone...easily pushed back[;)]
At Yenktu...we repulsed, bloody, a japanese shock attack...he's reinforcing the northern sector...very good[8D]
Doing that he's moving some more of his units from Changsha area...seems that the threat in the North has forced him to divert some of his units from the south!
Now we spotted 47 units at Canton...wow!!!...from Hengchow we're sending south more units...let's see what we can do there!
Cannot risk an attack at Changsha...he still has 21 units there...simply too many[:(]
