Bah...arways with negative waves. 1st Austrarian Div pretty soon arr in hospitarh from navarh bombardment. Then 18th Division have to eat warrabys for food. Prus 2 infantry regiments, Kimura Det and tank regiment at Suva...prus 48th Div coming from Ruzon
Pretty soon Japan-mens arr ovah prace.


Of course, if USMC show up that-ah nothah mattah.

Arright then...

If-ah you enter the 18th Division hex with-ah onry the SNRF, prease to expect it to be attacked out of the hex shortry theraftah. Arso, the ronson...erm...tank 'regiment' that wirr join SNRF in 18th Division hex? Prease to describe pathetic attack values of component units.

Prease to exprain how these two units wirr generate at reast 1600 AV (enough to overcome 18th Division in wooded terrain)?

Domo.

Point is to disrodge 1 Aus Div and make 18 Div eat warrabies and tree bark for whirhe. Maryborough randing have to wait few days because S-boat nearry brow up cruise riner with Kanno Det aboard. Severe damage to barroom and promenade deck Jacuzzi.

This bring up question of mechanics.

Suppose 18 Div in hex with 4th Div but owned by Arriedd-mens. Hex surrounded by Japan-mens hexes except for Maryborough which owned by Arried-mens but besieged by Japan-mens.

Ok, here questions:

1) Can 18 Div draw suprries from Maryborough?

2) Can 18 Div move across hexsides to SE, W or SW which-ah stir berong to Arried-mens?

- Each hex side has two halves, one facing each of the adjacent hexes.

- For supplies to move through a hex side, both halves of the hex side must be owned by the player in question.

- For unit movement, the half of the hex side in the unit's current hex must be owned by that unit's side.

There are other considerations for supply movement and unit movement. [:)]
