In China another shock attack of his Armoured corp...and guess what? para drops over Chungking and Chengtu forced the retreating army to move towards Kumming, while preventing the Army south of Chungking of moving[:o][:-][:-]...better not even to look anymore at China...it just drives me mad.

Yes, more than 20 subs are guarding the approaches at Ponape and Eniwetok and 4 subs are stationing at Eniwetok.ORIGINAL: String
I also assume you're gonna pack the area with submarines, move 2-3 atleast into eniwetok hex, and the rest into the approaches. Do you have any torp armed CL's in the area? An omahaha class perhaps?
You should have surplus destroyers so losing a CL and 4 dessies for a chance of torpedoes in the japanese ships and the reduction of the bombardment efficiency will be worth it in my opinion. Ofcourse if you can't afford to lose those assets then don't. Also divide some of your AK's into single ship TF's. That will deplete his ammo even further.
That was my original Idea String, to use some of the older CLs armed with torpedoes in the last attempt of defending my base. Problem is that i checked their exp ratings...at night they suck, litterally[:(]...however i may give 'em a try
The single AK tactic has been banned by our HRs due to his complaining about it during the Indian campaign...

GH, why don't tell troll to stop the small unit attack?
The paradrops will accomplish nothing other than placing a japanese unit in the hex and they would not control any hexsides and won't be able to retreat until they were the sole unit in the hex.

I can see only two possibilities: GH is either gay and he's in love with Troll; or maybe he owes him a damn great deal of money. In both cases don't expect him to admit the obvious truth, the Italian macho is way too proud for that! [:D] [:'(]

The outcome of those paradrops should have been something like this:

Current situation at Chungking
[/center] ORIGINAL: Gen.Hoepner
The last time i asked him not to para-drop in non-bases hex he got almost mad at me and treated me like a child who doesn't wanna lose. So i'll rely upon his sense of fairness and that's all.

Still i have to decide what to do with the RN...i don't see how i can threat him directly in india with only 3 brit CVs...while, at the same time those will be extremely valuable in the Pacific...but the voyage is extremely risky and the ultimate result will be the loss of a HUGE amount of PPs.... any suggestion?
