Nothing much to report this turn, the fall of Canton was expected. However i'm now realizing this opens the door for Palmyra and Christmas, which are far from protected. A serious misstep on my part. I decide to redirect a convoy with Marine troops and Artillery units to Palmyra, to provide some sort of defense while i muster more men.
Other than this, a calm turn. China is holding, Pegu is holding and reinforcements are on their way to OZ.
The last shipment of fuel is going to leave Palembang, as the area is now clearly shut tight.
My main CV force (2CV) is moving back up from Sydney to the area of PM to protect from an other incoming attack. The garrison here isn't the best, but it can hold a few days and allow for reinforcements. In this area i'm also considering retreating from Milen Bay, which i may have built up too soon.
