Unusual looking result looks like surrounded units but clearly since some escaped, they were not surrounded. But 6 of the units completely destroyed. I guess they must have had rock bottom readiness.
Just occurred to me the destroyed units all have a armored element perhaps the only escape route was via a hex inaccessible for motorized vehicles. though in reality the vehicles would have been abandoned.
The reason I have posted the battle result was that it is an act of propaganda. It should demonstrate that Japan is doomed on its mainland, but is still able to fight and cause heavy losses for its enemies on other battlefields.
For discussion of battle outcome, lets have a ook at some details:
- Readyness indicator for Chinese units is at minimum. There had been a series of air raids against the Chinese units. They were surpressed and hardly able to fight.
- Few US and Chinese armored units were still able to fight, but had been outnumbered. Please note that only one line in the row of attackers is visible, next line is cut off. I dont want to give Chuck more information than necessary.
(Think he is giving too much information to his opponents in his screenshots; hope Tom will not benefit from this in game 14 [:'(]
)
- Japanese armored forces use medium tank III, assault guns II (very good weapon relative to costs) and armored cars III. US tanks are strong but too low in number, while Chinese light tanks II could not cope with the Japanese tanks.
So it is not as much a posting to show an impressive victory in battle, but the attempt to lower morale of my opponent. [:D]
