I should have kept my mouth shut about the reinforcements... :p
I hope I can take the back vhexes before they arrive.

One of my dozers scored two kills this turn, thus reducing opposing force's amount of Stuarts by the very same number. :cool:

Just twiddling my thumbs...

The battle has been so straight forward that I haven't even bothered to look at the replays for sevral turns. This must be the worst game I have played.... ever!

Most of those pockets of resistance have been cleared now. Some still remain.

Closing in...

Where did my luck go?!

Usually I think that games are lost due to poor strategy or tactics. Or games are won by good strategy and tactics. But now I almost think that some games are lost by luck...

Several times during the match I have been shooting the enemy armor with my AT-guns, displayed percentages 30-50 and only a few hits. This turn was the same but I scored a hit! But to compensate that the next gun malfunctioned.

I have so little equipment left that I really don't need additional malfunctions. I just hope that time runs out before Teräspantteri gets his troops in my positions.

Luck has definitely been playing larger role than usualy, but I think I would have won this one (by far smaller margin ofcourse) even without Lady Luck flying Japanese colors. :cool:

I now have control over all the vhexes...

All is lost

I must congratulate Teräspantteri for a very well played game. His artillery skills are exceptionally good, best what I've ever played against.

20 turns I hang in there, Crushing defeat. He got my HQ.

I'll let the winner post the scores... I wait weeks before I check in here again si that I won't see the scores ever again. :)

Here it comes...

Score:

Japan 10504 - USMC 1596 Decisive victory. :cool:

About the artillery... All I can say that my gold spots were spot on. :)

I really like the Japanese OOB and most certainly will be using it again as soon as possible. I also fell for jungle. After all those countless fights in European landscapes I found jungle a very refreshing environment for a battle.
