2. Significant events
Note that supply for the Allied units will be by way of air drops. The area around Walawbum 6:9 is an Air drop supply dump. There will also be a supply base at Tanaiyang 16:23 for 5 turns after allied forces take control. The Allied forces have 7 different Theater Options for use as additional "Supply Drops" (check Theater Options). Use them wisely. Each supply drop last 2 turns.
British Special Forces (Chindits) were ordered to attack Lonkin 2:34. Starting on turn 3 and going through turn 17, there will be a chance of these units showing up at 0:34. There is also a chance that they will never appear at all during a game. Japanese players should remain aware of this by keeping a security force on Lonkin throughout the game.
3. Notes
With most supplies being flown in to supply the Chinese forces (a costly venture), a plan to create an overland route to bring supplies into through the Mogaung Valley at whose south end lay the Irrawaddy and the Burma Railway had been conceived. The Japanese having systematically fallen back to slow the SEAC advance, has now taken a stand outside the strategic town of Kamaing near Inkangahtawng. Japanese orders, to hold Kamaing at all cost.
Merrill ordered by Chih Hui Pu was to make a shallow and a wide sweep around the Japanese forces and create a road block on the Kamaing Road to the south of Shaduzup, while elements of the Chinese 22nd Division along with the 1st Provisional Tank Group, equipped with US tanks, attacked across a high ridge known as Jambu Bum along the Kamaing Road.Terrain was extremely difficult and rain a constant problem.
Historic Allied minor loss.

My opponent has withdrawn from the game for no apparent reason so I deducted the game result from the actual victory status.
