Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd

[bigred]

42-7-17:
The gadfly does it's job, We finish off the CM

[bigred]

42-7-20: Cannon Fodder at Changsha. Allies note the IJA attack on 4-17 was a stronger attack. Are the Japs getting frustrated.

Are the Japs rotating fresh divisions into ChangHaHa,

Or has John overextended his attack plans.

John tried to cut off Changsha from the NW. Failed and meager supply continues to get into
ChangHaHaHaHaHa.

[bigred]

CHANGHAHA saga continues. Chairman Mao Makes a press release. "Yes, the war is progressing to a reasonable
outcome"

42-7-22: IJN provides invasion support for NE AUS.

[bigred]

42-7-22:
Lanchow has fallen. At Cooktown, not sure allied CAP would intercept JAP ground support.

[bigred]

Continued, Doug Out Doug was happy to see his DBs strike back at the evil empire.

The ground attack near Cooktown drew off the CAP over Cooktown which allowed the A-24 to dive bomb the Fast Transport TF.

Changsha - John needs to have the China Command HQ within range and prepping for this base. I would bring in another Army/Corp HQ to ensure there is enough support squads to speed up recovery of disabled squads. He probably has some of those Manchurian artillery there to wear you down. He should be bombing the AF daily, I hope. The Allies can hold out for some time, but once the breaking point is reached, it will end quickly.

42-7-22. So we count from this game date to the fall of Changsha.
30 days =ahead of schedule
60days = on target
90 days = behind schedule

What the HELL is this??!!

It is now sunk but...ahhhhh...were these guys way off course?

[John 3rd]

Yes...the Aussie-Based B-17s are OFFICIALLY annoying. Need AFs within range to beat them up some. Working on it. Can only expand AFs so fast...especially with Japanese engineers!

[ny59giants]

Quit your bitching about Japanese engineers. [:D]
I increased the numbers plus engineer vehicles many versions ago.
