Well on the 30th of September Prz sent a surface force into Utilhi, my tf of old battle wagons meet him. The Mississippi did not make it, but they got soem hits in. Other than that there was little damage to my ships at Utilhi. Still trying to rebulid the airfield at Utilhi. In other news now moving on his troops in Burma, He has 25 units at Tai Gui? and I hope to trap them there or make them retreat towards the trail hex south thus making them usless for a long time. While this is going on I will be attcking towards Bangkok. I hope this makes him move troops out of China or even other parts of the Pacific as I move towards Bangkok then Singapore and other parts East.
