I've been very aggressive in this game Coal harbour to Attu island is controlled by the Empire. Wake to Noumea conquered by the Empire, Port Moresby, Darwin and DEI also conquered by the empire. The last major region to be conquered is Burma, Singapore took way longer than normal to conquer he reinforced with the 18th div and the 100th Chinese new div so it was a nasty bit of business.

My plan for my last 15 day's of invasion land on Chittagong Andy has 60k troop's in Rangoon I believe with that amount he's reinforced with some Chinese units plus possible divs from mainland India which might leave it open for the taken. or distract him long enough to divert resources from
other theator's

[RangerJoe]

Invade India behind him . . . [X(]

[deaniks]

Yes definitely catch him off guard that's for certain no sane player will ever think of doing something like this [;)]

[RangerJoe]

You can also invade Pegu. Before you do that, make sure that you recon every base in the area.

[deaniks]

I've gone through my turn again and have reoriented some force's It's possible to do a Pegu invasion but risky I'm trying to see if I can do both Chittagong and Pegu at the same time might commit one less div and tank regiment and commit more to Pegu I also might para drop Prome as well will recon and see what's in base and cut off his 60k troops there

Troops inside Rangoon

[deaniks]

here are the rules as well
**No 4E naval bombing below 10,000ft

**Sweep limit 30K and below.

**PPs to be paid to change a restricted unit to an unrestricted command before marching across a border. (This includes all restricted Allied, Chinese, Japanese & Thai units)

**No Strategic/City Bombing into or out of China before 1943.

**Any port may be bombed on turn 1 by carrier air but no LBA may be used for a turn 1 port attack – KB may be split and hit as many targets as required

**Allies can only give orders to existing TFs on turn 1. No other Land, Sea or Air units can be issued orders. Force Z may be re-directed.

**No Allied Air or Naval units are allowed in Russia, even if Russia is activated.

**No invasions or paradrops on hexes that don´t contain a dot or base.

[deaniks]

Chittagong
15th Army
41st RGT,
38th Div,
17th indpt Guard RGT,
6th tank regiment,
5th Div,
5th Amphibious Brigade

Pegu
25 Army,
1st Tank RGT,
18th Div,
15th Guards RGT,
55th Div,
Imperial Guard Div,
33rd Div,
14th Tank RGT,
124th inf RGT,
13 art unit's

What do you guys think enough for both landing?

I can have the 16th guard's RGT, 146th RGT as strategic reserves in case things go bad. once they finish up their land combat on island's

[RangerJoe]

Are there any Allied units at the base between Pegu and Moulmein? If not, paradrop there if you invade Pegu. If you are also moving overland on Moulmein, even better.

If you can, paradrop in Burma and stop the Burma Road from supplying China.

[deaniks]

So I'm thinking the idea is to para drop Prome to cut his rail line to India invade Pegu which cut's the Burma rail line then I'm having two Thai div's walk up the road to Moulmein as we speak so they will help with minor base's and such.

[RangerJoe]

If you paradrop on the base between Moulmein and Pegu that will cut his troops off at Moulmein.

The Burma Road, I do believe, also works with the gray roads as well.

[deaniks]

do you mean sittang bridge?

[RangerJoe]

Yes.

There is also that new dot base east of Ramree Island. That is a relatively faster way for the enemy to evacuate Southern Burma so take that base and Ramree Island as well.

[deaniks]

March 17th

Not too much-happned lots of bases conquered and gathering assets for the invasions of India/Moulmein I want the Chittagong invasion to launch in 3 to 4 days while the Pegu to launch a week from now.


A good catch for Andy bad for me though

Red circles are invasion points while orange circles are para drop point's I think bassei could be a useful para drop but I'll see I should have 3 regiment's in the area for para dropping

[RangerJoe]

If you do not paradrop on Bassein but do drop into the other three and capture them, by invading Pegu you can seriously make it difficult for the Allies to evacuate Southern Burma and maintain order. That could make it easier to capture Calcutta . . .

[deaniks]
