Notes:
1. The luxury factories I built last year have come on stream, doubling my ability to satisfy luxury goods to 40%.
2. I have pulled out of Tanga, when this little local difficulty in Burma is resolved I will have to send the boys to pay a visit.
3. Turn 92 battle in Prome, reported as nearly 50k British against some 2k Burmese, clearly a flaw in the game it should have read 5k British against 20K Burmese....
4. Had to withdraw the fleet from Falklands, need to build a depot there.
5. Turn 93 Prussia forges a CB against France, what is going on here?
6. Turn 95, discovered I needed an educated population, had noticed I was not getting many discoveries, each use of this seems to boost education by 2 points. I had let it fall to 91%, now up 93%.
7. Mistake to have only infantry in Burma as I often cannot see the Burmese forces, need some cavalry for scouting.
8. Still worried as there is a 200 combat power army in Arakan.
9. The advance against Mandalay has started, very slowly....
10. My plan is to take prome, establish a depot there; take toungoo and establish a depot there; take mandalay and establish a depot there; take myitkyina and establish a depot there. With this I will have supply coverage across Burma.
11. Try to defend against the Burmese forces with hold at all costs on, it is so slow to advance. Mostly hpoing to advance where the Burmese are not, hence the need to deploy cavalry so I can see them!!!
Progress:
Gained 1,258 PP in quarter, target grew by 776; to date 14,127 against 15,128. So if the progess was maintained the gap would be closed in 3 quarters.
Summary:
Have added 80 economic structures, 2 merchant fleets and 21 railroads, so 7 ahead of my target of one per turn.
Satisfaction shown on the B screen is now 88%.
The value of my stocks has risen to 17,028.
Comparison of combat power with Russia started at 116 and has now improved to 102.
Navy Board:
Develop bases across the world.
Won first naval battle off the Arakan Coast.

Trade board:
Increase satisfaction % and number of goods sold to national and colonial markets.
At the start satisfaction gain 58% goods sold 420, by the end 63% and 449.
So progress this quarter. Only delivering 72% of food and 42% of luxuries.

Establish more colonies and protectorates
Develop provinces in colonies
Gain maximum prestige points
Protectorate requested Sringar and Timphu. Colony completed Panipat, requested Sambalpur.
