I was hoping to hold out a little longer here. There's just too much - I didn't grind the Allies down enough at Davao. I almost got there in time to stall them a week or more longer than it took (IIRC).
I could use more supplies here, but it's not dire. Either he'll take the base before supplies are an issue, or he delays as long as I wanted to delay him anyway and supplies do become an issue for the garrison.
Some of these units have fragments at Manila.

Unfortunately these divisions are all in OK shape (maybe some others at Davao recuperating?). Note the high number of huge ART units. This is the bulk of the independent US Army artillery, I think.
