Battle for New Jersey (like who would want to do that)

[RUPD3658]

Kenny tells me that Allied SigInt has intercepted messages that troops are on the way to India. Whoever is responsible for the leak will be shot.

The questions are

1. Where will the landing(s) be?
2. Is the invasion of OZ still a possibility?

1. Where will the landing(s) be?

At least some of the troops are going to Tricmonilee (sp?), and more are heading to Madras according to my intel.

2. Is the invasion of OZ still a possibility?

no [:D]

that would be one hell of a deception plan. Either way, i'm prepared for either type of invasion, so in the words of a forgotten senator "Bring it on"

here's my intel...

56th Brigade is loaded on AP,Turusima Maru moving to Trimcomalee
38th Division is loaded on AP,Hakozake Maru moving to Madras
48th Naval Guard Unit is loaded on AK,Kansai Maru moving to Madras

Shoot captains of Turusima Maru, Hakozake Maru, and Kansai Maru along with commanders of 56th Brigade, 38th Division, and 48th Naval Guard unit.

So much for those people who say that Allied Sig Int is useless.
