Looks like a great advertisement for stacking limits.

That is staggering losses for the Allies, it would seem that China is going to be a Japanese Vassal.

Wow! You have hit him with heavy losses. Most of your casualties were just disabled, and can be recovered with rest and supply. Many of the Chinese casualties were destroyed squads. They cannot be replaced quickly because China lacks supply. Well done! [&o]

Now you must take Kweiyang to open the roads to Chungking and Kunming. Take Kunming first to close off his supply from Burma.
It does not matter if his armies from the river fall back to Ichang - it has no great value if you have Changteh, to block him from easy movement back to Chungking.

I did not notice Burma importance first. I did not understand the rules of the English manual. I thought that only BURMA ROAD carried supply. I think the rule of supply is difficult. Because I was late invaded Burma.

Some this AAR is late, and I capture Kunming now. There are a lot of factories in Kunming. But, I do not yet capture Paoshan and Tsuyung. Do I have to capture them to stop supply?

I write the details later again.

The big stack is fraught with the danger. I am glad of success. However, big stack may be surrounded. I write it later.

There is a road from Tsuyung to the plains near Chungking. You must take Tsuyung to close that end of the Burma road.
You can also close it from the other end by taking Lashio and Bhamo, or by taking Paoshan. You do not have to close both ends of the road.

I understand it.
Thank you.

The war is cruel.

You must use your bombers to attack his troops in clear terrain hexes like the two west of Amoy, and at Ichang.
Bring your tanks into those areas and attack regardless of odds. In clear terrain and without anti-tank weapons, he cannot hurt them much. Try not to use your tanks in the forests and mountains, unless you have a lot of infantry with them.

Oh, tank is weak in mountains. I understood that even this game was so.
This game is complicated. I run tanks along the way and use it in many places.

I mainly used the tank on plains, but sometimes went to mountains and the forests. The tank is very convenient...

Thank you[:)]
