I will admit this is the third time troops were caught at sea I caught two large convoys near Brisbane with KB and now this one near Rangoon that must hurt.

previous troop sinking's

I'm thinking of a slight change in plan's Ceylon invasion? this could help with a May or June invasion of Indian instead of going there now and risking losing more while I still need to finish clean up of Sumatra and Clark field

March 20th troopships departed yesterday. I'm thinking as I stated above a change of plan Ceylon invasion I will have more time to think on it tonight as Andy will probably give me his last turn for the day in less than an hour so I have all night to decide.

search reported American carriers at Valdez yesterday 2 surface taskforce's consisting of 4 ship's each launched only one launched good thing as he moved them today and I suffered a CL and DD sunk while him suffering more air casualties.

I'm thinking of a slight change in plan's Ceylon invasion? this could help with a May or June invasion of Indian instead of going there now and risking losing more while I still need to finish clean up of Sumatra and Clark field

Sumatra should not take that much. If you can keep Clark from getting supplies, just bomb it to remove supplies and to keep forts from building while you let it starve.

Remember, time is not on your side especially with regard to Indian divisions which come in under strength, under trained, and with low morale.

that's true we have 60-day variant on though so I have no idea when his reinforcements arrive at all. I'll stick with my original plan. But now he's moved his force's across the three base's 40k in Rangoon or around 21 unit's, 20k in Pegu 8 unit's, and 15k in sittang brigade 8 units.

March 21st
Bad day today several taskforces bombarded Kodiak and destroyed massive amounts of fighters' suck's but planes are recoverable.





the adventure in the sopac has ended. KB will make full steam for the west coast and hopefully catch an American fleet up there if he's cocky enough.
