 This is the third revision of these, primarily just making them ME playable.
 
 viz:
 
 The Fight at Sinkawang II
 
 26 January 1942
 Singkawang II Airfield, Borneo:  After being delayed nearly a
 week by bad weather, the Japanese plan to finish off Allied forces
 in the northwest corner of Borneo had gotten underway on the
 24th of January.  A portion of the Kawaguchi Detachment landed
 on the west coast of the large island, at Pemangkat, and advanced
 east, on the Pemangkat-Sambas road, toward the Dutch airfield
 Singkawang II.  On the 25th the Japanese arrived at a village
 about 2.5 miles northwest of the airfield and went into camp
 in preparation for the advance on the field planned for the 26th.
 On the 25th, also, the Dutch forces hurried their preparations
 for the evacuation of the field and began destroying supplies
 and the barracks there.  In order to buy additional time, a spoiling
 counterattack was planned.  Over the night of the 25th/26th,
 the Dutch Defense Battalion, accompanied by the Commonwealth
 2/15th Punjabi Regiment (much cut up, but now rested and resupplied,
 after it's fighting at Kuching, a month before) took up positions
 and prepared to buy some time.
 
 The End at Sinkawang II
 
 26 January 1942
 Singkawang II Airfield, Borneo:  After the failed Allied spoiling
 attack, made earlier in the day, the Japanese force (elements
 of the Kawaguchi Detachment) pushes on toward it's goal at Singkawang II Airfield, intending to storm the place at night.  By this
 time the Allied force, including Dutch troops and the remnants
 of the 2/15 Punjab Regiment, is hurriedly expediting it's preparations
 for a retreat southwest to Ledo.  The front line units must hold.
 
 For those interested, I hope you enjoy them.  They are the 3rd and 4th of the northwest Borneo campaign:  Kuching, Bukit Stabar Airfield, The Fight at Singkawang II, The End at Sinkawang II.
