This is an update, about nothing.

Definitely cut off as far as commerce is concerned.ORIGINAL: Crackaces
Now that Cam Ranh bay and Puerto Princesa are Allied .. is not the DEI completly cutoff? DB's can reach the midpoint from both bases .. is it still worth cleaning up the DEI or just concentrate forces for the next big push?

The 81st is heading straight for the base on the west coast while the Rgt that will arrive by rail tomorrow will continue the drive down the east coast to the last base on this stretch of road there.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One unit was destroyed when our forces attacked the zombie campsite, but I don't know which one. We attack again tomorrow, then move to the adjacent hex and deal with that unit. Bad weather severely hampered air strikes on Lang Son resulting in no hits on the base and only entertainment for the troops targeted. It looks like 4 miles per day bearing down on Pakhoi, hopefully that will speed up during the second 1/2 of the 46 miles, which is a clear hex with a secondary road to that hex side. The first two divisions are at 24 miles, the other two at 20 and 16 miles.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
