This last Bastion in China outside of Chungking has fallen. Resources were 60% damaged, only some 100 are left. China is reduced to Chungking now and I won´t attack that base with 140+ units there at the moment. My 2000 assault points will just sit there, blocking every movement of the Chinese troops. Now it´s time to redeploy my troops for the assault on Russia. Guess there will be some 20.000 assault points marching into Russia, the majority will attack in the South.
