Could these small units be somehow deployable behind the lines to unoccupied Japanese hexes?!!! Small gorilla units (AV10-20) that could be placed in Japans rear to keep him honest with garrison requirements and force him to have units fighting away from the front would be really cool and would make Japan's life hell. I don't know if airdrop makes sence or how it would be done.
Not without a rewrite. All LCU's use the same supply trace in the game. What my dispicible Aussie opponent did (does) is break alot of his units up into thirds. This has two advantages....one it gives him a much bigger ability to "spread out the defender/attackers and it also makes for intel muddling when you point your cursor over a hex/city and see oh....35 "units" there. (gads!)
True a third of a Chinese corp is pretty weak but at the same time it's a cheap investment should it be cut off or destroyed. (I got a couple but it took a long time to hunt em down) Keep in mind that even an undersupplied/out of supply unit can still move somewhat so a merry chase he led.
Biggest impact was that it forced me to spread out my own forces for security and delayed my advance somewhat. Once i closed enough of the flanks, it made it much harder if not impossible for him to try flank attacks against my supply lines. Once the outer cities started falling he opted to preserve forces which despite the logistics, was a smart move....saves VP and the forces for later battles. As i mentioned earlier, i've taken ground and cities. (Yennen was a hell of a fight.) but have destroyed few troops. Kind of like real life China in that (not the cities, but in the elusiveness of the enemy)
Sounds like you're on track.[:)]
Of course we are....we rock [;)]
