OK after that little reverse it will take three days to bring up sufficient forces
 
Various Arty Regts are arriving at my ports they will start the trek to the front in about three days I hope to have enough force to kick 11th Indian out by the 20th December

[Andy Mac]

OK 20th December 5th Recce Regt and 41st Regt both of 5th IJA Div will try to punch through with some air support
 
Indians are digging in the longer I leave it the harder it gets

Very impressive. The movement change (needing to own both ends before getting rail movement speed) taken just by itself is obviously a big step toward better realism. Good job!

[Andy Mac]

Aye its a pain in Northern Malaya move faster move faster every day the Japanese give the Brits to train/dig in/gain strength makes Singapore that much harder.
 
The correlation of forces in Malaya is not actually that great.
 
Allies get 12 Bde Equivalents and reinforce with 5 more (2 of which get gutted at Kota and there isnt much you can do about it)
 
Japanese get 12 to beat them with in 25th Army plus a couple of Southern Area Army SNLF's or NGU's
 
Give allied forces TIME to dig in and recover and gain some xp and Malaya is very hard
 
Fortuantely most Allied players will divert 18th UK and the two Indian Bdes making life easier
 
Yamashita did a brilliant job in Malaya to match him you must keep the allies ont he run !!!!

[Andy Mac]

OK two things went badly wrong.
 
1. It rained <mutter mutter> so my air support didnt take off
2. Looks&nbsp;like the leader of the Regt leading the attack failed his leadership&nbsp;role he&nbsp;will apologise&nbsp;to the emperor in the traditional way
&nbsp;
I need to wait for more forces to arrive
&nbsp;
Unfortunately the road from&nbsp;Alor Star to Taiping is slow......

OK 1st and 14th Tank Regts arrived today I will wait one more day then I will try to attack again I MUST Break through and fast or I am screwed
&nbsp;
Fortuantely 56th Regt looks like it will reach Temuloh in a couple of day at which point the Taiping defenders will be flanked

[Andy Mac]

I waited until the 25th December and pulled in a lot of force

I kept all the armour out of the fight in reserve to exploit if we made it through

And they did 4 Regts of Armour are in pursuit
