Land of The Giants ( A WPO Scenario: Empire101 (J) vs Historiker (A) )

[Empire101]

The American fortifications are down to 1.... it won't be long before Bataan falls...

[Empire101]

The Siege at Peking reduces Chinese fortifications to 1..... they must fold soon.

A Chinese unit has also outflanked the besiegers at Peking, so I have a little bandit unit to eliminate as well!!

The Chinese dragons are begining to crumble

[Empire101]

My fledgling airforce finally gets its act together and scores some hits on the defenders at Bataan.

[Empire101]

110 casualties and two guns lost... not bad considering they are virtually chucking large grenades out of the cockpits!!

[Empire101]

The Fall of Bataan is captured on camera.....Japan goes wild with delight as the last of the Yankee imperialists are ejected from the Philippines... Ladies faint all over Japan in the excitement!!!!

[Empire101]

Forts Mills, Frank, Drum, Hughes & Wint are stormed by elements of the Imperial Guards, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Cavalry Divisions.
Fierce fighting ensues, but the defending fortifications are reduced to matchwood by the bombarding Japanese Artillery.

The defence crumbles as 9th, 12th and 15th Divisions mop up the starving remnants of the defending force

[Historiker]

resend the turn, you've sent the wrong one! [:)]

[Empire101]

Score as at 3rd August 1926.

The Imperial High Command is feeling quite pleased with itself. In just two months, Manchuria has been occupied, the US have been ejected from the Philippines and Japanese troops are besieging Peking ( to which a man in a bar says will fall any day now.)


I think I will send a diplomatic note to Washington to see if they wish to sign an Armistice, with Japan annexing Manchuria and the Philippines, whilst being granted exemplary trade and military rights in China.

I wonder what Torsten will think of that!![:D]

I think the pacific fleet has already delivered the answer, hasn't it? [;)]

The turn wasn't working again, btw...

And so, Japan gets its answer from the Imperialist warmongers.

I shall now deliver to the American aggressors part II of the Japanese master plan...

[Historiker]

The tensions within the HQ of the Entente are really high and several parties try to promote an intervetion to help China.

To:- The American Government

From:- The Japanese Government.

Date: 4th August 1926

The Japanese Government appeals to its Western allies that Peking is the last territorial demand that Japan will make in China.

It is the hope of the Japanese people that peace and stability will be returned to the regions after the Western Capitalist Aggressors ( ie The United States of America ), come to their senses and sign a peace treaty with the Japanese Empire.

[Empire101]

My opponent again displays the ethos of the Royal Navy, 'engage the enemy more closely', and the Japanese Navy is again left looking foolish.

That 'horrible' TF sails into Pescadores, ignores the minefields and blasts some refueling DD's on ASW duty to kingdom come!!!.

DD Yomogi plants a torpedo into Arizona and lands a few feeble 6 inch shells as well before valiantly slipping beneath the waves, followed by the DD13, although DD15 escapes.

Oh well, you live and learn.[:(]

[Empire101]

Where are they refuelling....??

[Empire101]

The last resistance in Mindanao is crushed....the Philippines is truly liberated.[8D]

[Empire101]

Off to the POW camp with you all!![:)]

Japanese Naval Intelligence Report

Forward to: The Emperor, Prime Minister, Japanese War Cabinet...

Date:- 5 August 1926

At last a clue to where those US warships are refuelling....could it possibly be Hong Kong???

Naval Intelligence recommend action to be taken to stop refuelling.

Date 5th August 1926

It seems the American Fleet are heading Westwards towards Hong Kong. The Government will have to act, to ensure that Great Britain does not help the Americans by allowing their fleets to rearm and refuel in neutral ports.

[Historiker]

According to international law, war parties are allowed to enter neutral ports. This was done, for example, when the German East Asia Squadron visited Valparaíso in 1914.
