They are in decent defending terrain, but look pretty disrupted by both the modifier and the final AV. It might be worth the 10 PP's to replace the leader with a higher quality one if you haven't done so already ... keep up wht LRCAP OR go after the airbase where they bombers are coming from.ORIGINAL: Xargun
17th Indpt Guards Regiment makes a stand in the jungle west of Lashio. Second day in a row.

They braved heavy air attack for two days and still fight back. Gives me some hope that its won't be a cake walk for the Allies in Burma. I LRCAP them but only like 20 fighters showed up. Didn't shoot down any bombers, but definately disrupted their attack runs.
The 17th just withstood another day of pounding from both air and ground. They have to be on their last string. I will LRCAP them heavily this turn (everything I got) and try to get some kills or at least stop the bleeding. I cannot hit the airbase they are coming from as it is Ledo and only my Netties have the range and recon reports 80+ fighters there plus heavy flak as I've lost several recon planes there already. I have plans for Ledo but not quite yet.
I am managing to hit his advancing columns of men damaging a bunch of tanks south of Magwe and Meiktila. Looks like he split up his mammoth group and is advancing down both roads. I will post more pictures this weekend.
