(when my troops are fully prepped and fully supplied), we´ve also hit a timeframe where the Japanese obviously just have to lose, no matter how, they have to lose. I´m not pissed because of losing (in this small area), I´m pissed as there´s just no reason for it. This is the most funny ground combat I´ve seen so far in my thousands of PBEM turns.
