This is confirmed.

If you have an HQ unit lead an assault into a hex with enemy troops the attack may fail and the entire stack be cancelled for some reason. I looked through the manual and was unable to find any comments regarding this 'feature'.

However, I have moved troops into both Sian and ...

Re Sian road.

Are all your LCUs there following the HQ unit?
HQs in stock scenarios have 0 AV. Maybe this resets the stack movement prior to entering an enemy held hex?
I would make all units follow the biggest (in AV terms) LCU.


Thanks for your suggestion. In both cases they were following ...

Here is the hexside data

Here is hex control.

I am playing with the new scenario 2 map (and also playing scenario 1 in another game)

There are issues with the movement on the map in various locations and they seem to be consistent.

The current issue I am having relates to movement in 2 locations on the map. In the first I have amphibiously ...

It would be considered "gamie" to use Jakes on subs. unfortunately many naval air types are misused by players, most unknowingly, such as using certain aircraft on CV type ships that were not capable of handling them. but such details are usually ignored. However using the Jake on a sub is way too ...

So I am looking at my fleet of subs with the Glen float planes. They use the Amakazi engines which I would like to discontinue.

Is there any reason I could not upgrade the float planes on the subs from Glen to Jake?

February 23 1942

Big success at Pegu in Burma, the Allies tried to make a stand there and lost a good bit of troops although they retreated back into Rangoon. We will see how long that takes to route out. The supply to China will be cut and that was the major objective. Going slow in Java right now ...

Java is slow going without the KB for air support. Just managed to land a few divisions from Singapore so land movement will begin shortly.

I dropped troops at Pegu and found a large defending force in Rangoon. Several battles later I have not managed to push him out of the hex but I am happy to fight in open terrain. He has some tanks that are slowing me down. Have several tank regiments on the way, will cross into Sittang Bridge to ...

Here is an excel spreadsheet showing supply flow after the conquest of Singapore.

The numbers are wildly misleading due to the fact that many ports are drawing on oil/resource and transporting to the home islands. The singapore resource drop is due to direct withdrawl at the port.

Have set ...

If you don't want the resources/oil from the Malay peninsula stockpiling at Singapore, stop the flow at the base one hex away. Move oil from Western Sumatra to Georgetown and then it will move elsewhere. As soon as you can, get a longer part of the magic highway working. There is a way to get ...

The struggle is real...

I have been putting a lot of effort into bringing resources and oil back to the home islands. There is a deficit of 80,000 supplies that are needed per day to keep current supply levels. Despite my best efforts I have been unable to move the needles ...

Chickenboy, good question!! I dont have any idea but now that you made me think about it the 55th division and the 56th division have not been reformed yet but are close, so maybe one or both of them. The 33rd is 250 of about 400 so can participate but probably not win the day ...

I have a large amount of transports enroute to Singapore to distribute forces. The imperial guard and 5th division are going to do an amphibious attack at Pegu and possibly cut off forces east of Rangoon. This will start the move on Burma.

Once troops have landed the KB will return south and drop ...

It is now February 7, 1942. Singapore fell on the 6th (yesterday). Palembang may fall to an attack today.

So, the plan was for me to surround and bombard/bomb the 24 unit stack in Chengchow but first I had to take the city to prevent any further supply from the factories in the base. Well, I overestimated the Chinese forces and during the initial attack all 24 units evaporated. Oops...

5 armor units ...

The key to display region is the '4' key.

Also, the map has the border clearly displayed so Manchuria + Korea is 104 & 105
