II/143rd Infantry Battalion is decimated. Not a single combat soldier is left alive (not a single disable squad out of the lot) and a few support squads is all that remain. I guess the high number of disablements coming ashore is going to wreck the party when you have to front up for an immediate shock attack against level 4 forts (they came as a nasty shock and a good lesson about becoming too complacent. The battalion already entrenched fairs well whilst the remaining battalion has suffered substantial disablements. In the long run all should go well once the disablements have been sorted. Supply should not be an issue either. In the end fatigue and experience will surely doom the defense unless reinforcements make their way to this isolated outpost. The ships that were hit all have fires in single digits so high hopes there that all fires will be dealt with swiftly. In a few days’ time some battleships will steam into view and deliver misery to these troublesome defenders.

II/143rd Infantry Battalion is decimated. Not a single combat soldier is left alive (not a single disable squad out of the lot) and a few support squads is all that remain. I guess the high number of disablements coming ashore is going to wreck the party when you have to front up for an immediate shock attack against level 4 forts (they came as a nasty shock and a good lesson about becoming too complacent. The battalion already entrenched fairs well whilst the remaining battalion has suffered substantial disablements. In the long run all should go well once the disablements have been sorted. Supply should not be an issue either. In the end fatigue and experience will surely doom the defense unless reinforcements make their way to this isolated outpost. The ships that were hit all have fires in single digits so high hopes there that all fires will be dealt with swiftly. In a few days’ time some battleships will steam into view and deliver misery to these troublesome defenders.

The arrival of our first land forces on the outskirts of Bombay sees the commencement of the siege. It also brings Intel on just what we are up against. The terrain will make it difficult but the fact that the Allied forces appear to have spent some time working on building up the AF should mean that the forts will not be too high. I want to take Bombay with as little damage to my divisions as I can so we shall wait for the whole mass of the forces approaching Bombay to arrive before an assault is launched.

RE: 14 May 1942
I’m a few days behind in game time but I have a situation and would like some clarification before I send off the next turn. I currently have 18th Division and 18th Medium Field Artillery Regiment in strategic move mode enroute from Nagpur to Jalgaon. This turn (as the graphic displays) they have ended up in the same hex as an Allied LCU. I expect it is the Indian Division which retreated from Hyderabad or possibly one of the support units. My question is can I move my units out of this hex before the combat resolution phase? I certainly can’t afford to sit around here and wait as a sitting target for the troops to reorder themselves into combat mode. I expect I can as movement occurs overnight. More importantly which direction can I move? I’ve included the hex ownership display which shows neither side owning any of the hex sides. I expected the Allied unit would own it but that appears not to be the case. Can I continue on towards Jalgaon (my preferred destination) or should I hot foot it back to Nagpur knowing that I can do this as I definitely own this hex side?
Any thoughts on this appreciated. I’ll be sending this move in a few hours.

I’ve considered what to do about those LCUs in strategic mode and I think the best thing to do is send them back and get them out of the way, change back into move mode and hunt that Allied LCU down.
