the Chinese moved their first troops into Hengchow... with 1708 av they got only 50 guns, this means those troops should have no combat value... I expect more to move into my base and probably doing a shock attack... wonder what my forts will be worth it against an Army armed with sticks...

you know what happened to Ivan Drago... [;)]

Yep, he got Stallowned [;)]



How much time does your Gojira Army needs to march down from Russia to China. When will final assault begin?

[castor troy]

I guess they it will take until mid Jannuary and then we will kick some Chinese a$$...

I'm starting to get the shakes again. Let us know if anything exciting is happening . . . actually, let us know if anything is happening. [;)]

the only thing that happened the last couple of days was me moving house and therefore not much happened gamewise. [:D] I´m online again and we should see the game moving on pretty soon. I´m still owing some turns to post here but not much interesting happened anyway.

[castor troy]

Getting ready to get also the AAR running again. New developments but the next dozen of turns is just plain boring...

the best idea I had in this game was not to take out Manila as it has served for more than two years as a training target already and we have two airfields (Clark and Bataan) just one hex away... together a "level 13 airfield" which means room for 650 aircraft...

knowing that in fact it is stupid of me to follow this TF I nevertheless decided to do so... bigbaba has so far never reacted on my subs with changing course of his TFs (at least not that I noticed it) so it´s easy to follow the TF´s path to Brisbane... the escorts prevented our sub from attacking though...

the sub was driven off then... better way to use my subs would to do what the IJN doctrine historically was, hunting warships instead of AKs... no sense losing my subs while sinking a couple of AKs of which the Allied have more than they need anyway... but hey, this campaign is just too boring...

winter and blizzards up in the North isn´t effecting Allied bombers at all... not in their accuracy and not in their losses as op losses just don´t exist for 4Es in Nikmod... without at least three or four dedicated AA units (together with half a dozen base forces) you can do nothing as Japanese in terms of inflicting losses to the bombers...

don´t know what to post... the only thing going on at the moment is the Chinese out of supply Army moving towards Chungking... the enemy is losing between 6 and 10 points for ground losses each turn, 100% sure this is mainly due to his starving Chinese troops which kick my ass with shock attacks... stupid game design...
