Thanks GH, sometimes not playing both sides is disadvantage, but that's the way i like it....
regarding planes production - i've already expanded Zeros to 220 (still repairing) and Helen's but you are right - Sally and Oscar I need to be expanded (done)
AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 12/21/41
Andy sent few transports for evacuate from Rabaul. My cadets on CL Kashima were successful - they send enemy AP on the bottom. I-155 finished Kota Radju, while S-39 get two depth charges after she torpedoed my AK near Kuching.
Kuala Lumpur falls.
CHINA- my units were unable to keep their positions (northwest of the Changsha) and they are forced to retreat. Road from Chungking to Changsha (and Hengchow) is open again.
First of enemy units from Moulmein arrived - but my mix regiment came here too...
Zero groups are rested now, but T-storm still prevents me from placing them (with bombers) on Alor Star and Khota Baru AF. Still remembering how String destroyed my 300 planes in Malaya on the ground and i don't want to take another gamble - knowing me it would be repeated scenario - my AF clouded and without CAP, but Singapore operational... phew!
NLF landed on Shortlands.
