Every day the Allies attack Japanese industry...and today they did it at Balikpapen and Saigon. Fires are almost out at Georgetown and Phnom Penh.

Where is he bombing Saigon from? Singers?
Normal bomb load would suggest doing it within 17 hexes from a min. size 4 airfield.
If he's jamming Singers full of juicy airplanes... well, hehe, dropping some 250kg gift wrapped goodies would do, Lowpe-san. [;)]

Tavoy...I have bombed Tavoy a couple of times but always missed him. Moving into Burma and that will clear up the threat.

Only 3 planes...the attacks from Java could potentially be bad.

Dec 29th, 1941

The winter winds are blowing, the seas high, the conditions unfavorable and the heartless Allied commanders throw in the raw troops in a desperate attempt to take the base...

they Yanks land, and can't get off the beaches, the local commander's lose their nerve and call for a retreat, and a long slow bloody process of evacuating the beaches begins...

the invasion fails...a fiasco.

Japanese paratroops wiped out by strafing Buffaloes...but our lead elements are set to advance and close the Burma pipeline.

I suspect the Allies might have some strength at Pegu. We shall see.

Did he send his troops to Adak in beach wear? Towels, beachballs, swimsuits etc. straight outta Tahiti, attacking Emperor's finest with baseball bats? [:D]
Burma looks solid. Do you plan to cross directly into Pegu, or NE from it, then advance along the road?
Nice to see effective Jap AA flak downing some beasties.
