I’ve long expected an Allied aerial response to my LCUs chasing the hapless Allied forces. Whilst suffering acceptable lost squads the level of disruption caused to the 3 Japanese Infrantry divisions has put the kibosh on any contemplation of a general attack. I expect the Allies will now manage to make good on their escape. Todd, I am sure will be hopeful that I continue the chase, but I’m not about to have my forces suffer the same treatment I’ve been handing out to his forces. Stalemate in India for a while I should think.
