The Sun Will Never Set - A 2X2 PBEM

[Roger Neilson]

In China some cut and thrust, very much positional play here.

Oops, notquite the right map!

[Roger Neilson]

here is the right one

[Roger Neilson]

Some advances by the Japanese here, but not much really......

[Roger Neilson]

And in the Philippines...... some progress..... but stubborn defence of key areas of manilla, Clark, San Marcelino, Bataan,

[Roger Neilson]

As this is my first game playing as an Ally after six or so as japanese I have my own view of how well their side would appear to be progressing.

Anyone else's views are welcome of course!

Expect some correspondence from Sebastian and others in the near future.
