Just got back from a week's vacation (early, thanks to Hurricane Isaac).<br/>

Lots of ground combat today. Only one battle went against me in a big way.<br/>

<U><s>[u]</s>China<e>[/u]</e></U><br/>
In the North, He has put 2 Divisions deep into my territory to a point 2 hexes east of Sian. I think my ...

His 2 flanking divisions in the north have pushed through the woods and into the plain near Sian. I'm still rushing troops down from the north to help, but it looks pretty nasty up there. In the ...

Another bombardment of Koepang - this time with different battleships. I think it is high time I looked to put these troops down somewhere else. The most likely candidate is Port Moresby, though I hate ...

My shock attack in Amoy did not achieve victory but I did get 1 to 1 odds and brought the fortifications down to 3. I think what I'll do is move some troops over from Chaochow (maybe all of them) and ...

I was disappointed today. I'd ordered a deliberate attack on both Amoy and Swatow. These were supposed to be relatively easy fights. However, it turns out he has built up to LEVEL 4 forts in both ...

<U><s>[u]</s>China<e>[/u]</e></U><br/>
On the southern coast, my second unit has arrived in Swatow and should be more than enough to ensure victory. SigInt reported that he is rushing another battalion here, but I plan on owning the ...

I'm pleased with the progress around Amoy. We have taken 1 base and will probably take another in a couple days. He is moving reinforcements over from Amoy, but !SURPRISE! I have another 350AV ...

I'm pretty sure that every unit of mine that is not in a city got bombed today. If only the AVG weren't entirely worthless this game...<br/>

A second consecutive shock attack at Nanyang returns poor odds, but my troops don't capitalize.<br/>

He finally realized that I was abandoning Moulmein ...

A hush settled over the Pacific today...<br/>

A shock attack at Nanyang ends somewhat poorly for the Japanese but reduces fortifications such that he will likely take it before I can get ...

Some bombing of my Moulmein troops who are marching across the river while his own troops are still disrupted. Also, his bombers managed to stretch pretty far from Tavoy to reach an ASW fleet and a ...

It was a pretty good day on the ground today. Tsiatso held out against a shock attack and my southern raiding force took Chaochow in a day. However, he has two divisions racing toward Sian north of ...

Which Christmas Island? There are two of them.

SOPAC, not IO. My bad. (GMB is the unit that took Midway)

My opponent is having severe internet issues AND he just got a job that will slow down the turns significantly. I will probably only be posting occasional updates to this AAR until some big action comes along.

I should have known that the day I order a shock attack at Sinyang would be the day his reinforcements roll into town. Its not the end of the world or even the end of my attack, but I need to wait ...

I hadn't planned on any real effort down near Amoy, but he seems to have cut off a good number of my southern troops. They are ordered to attack Chaochow with Amoy next in line.<br/>

A bombardment attack at Sinyang revealed that I have 5 times the AV there. We will try a deliberate attack tomorrow and see if we can take the base before his reinforcements arrive from the SW. My ...

I have some troops near Sinyang that were cut off and well on their way to running out of supplies. I'm moving them into Sinyang along with the troops that were to the NW. I believe this is about ...

I knew this would be a tough match, but I feel like I'm getting clobbered.<br/>

Another big slaughter of Chinese forces. This time it was in the mountain hex NE of Tsiatso. There really was ...
