[BBfanboy]

Congratulations on clearing those Mixed Regiments/Brigades near Lang Son. Does that now open the road between China and Hanoi for supply flow?

About the altitude for the Liberators attacking Rabaul - since the Japanese medium AA Machine-Cannons can reach to 8000 feet, I use 9000 feet for bombing to avoid that flak. It should be a little more accurate for bombing than the 10K feet you were thinking of using.

About Rabaul - you have been getting supply hits during your raids for months now, but the AA continues to fire. Is supply being sneaked in (single xAKLs or subs) or is it automatic supply from a high difficulty setting for the game?

The enemy persistence at Loyang must mean that the scripts call for its capture by the IJ forces. But scripts usually have an end date so perhaps that doom stack will not come over after all. Fingers crossed. Supply for the Japanese forces at Loyang must be coming from the east so if you have anything that can get to the rail lines and occupy them that would help.

It might be the Hard setting for AI. But other than Loyang, things look good.
