Well my secondary fleet of BB's managed to sink several allied ships. The CL Salem has sunk and 2 of his DD's have also sunk. He did manage to torpedo a few of my ships but really no serious damage occurred. My southern China Army has managed to surround Amoy. His army attacked my trenches and lost 46313 men. I hope to take the City before the new year starts. Laoag fell to his forces in northern Luzon this turn it was guarded by some armored cars and a squad of Japanese boy scouts.

I see that you have not changed the art files since your virus with your pc,personaly I just don't like the stock ship art that is why I learned to create my own,because if I could not improve the games art work I knew it would spoil my enjoyment of it and then I would simply have just stopped playing it,and stuck to WITP AE.[:)]

Well I tested the waters at Peking and caused some horrific casualties on those poor Chinese troops. Gunned down in mass assaults by a much smaller Japanese force. My forces are pushing forward in southern China Swatow will be undersiege soon. I'm hoping that someone will mail my troops on Luzon some Quinine.
