If we throw out everything that didn't harm something the game would be very empty.

Here some Detail from a German page:

***
Zudem waren zwölf Type 5 Raketenstartgeräte zur Flugabwehr vorgesehen. Beim Type 5 Raketenstarter handelte es sich um ein mit achtundzwanzig 120 mm Raketen bestücktes Gerät, das auf einer veränderten 25 mm Drillingslafette installiert und um 360° drehbar war. Das System war eine reine Sperrfeuerwaffe und funktionierte ähnlich dem U.P.-Gerät der britischen Royal Navy. Zur Abwehr von Flugzeugen wurden 22,5 kg schwere Raketen ohne Lenksystem auf eine effektive Kampfentfernung von 1.000 bis 1.500 m verschossen, die Höchstschussweite betrug bis zu 4.500 m.

Here my translation:

Besides twelve type 5 rocket launchers were intended to the air defense. The type 5 rocket launchers is equipped with twenty-eight 120 mm rockets, which was mounted on a changed 25 mm triplet carriage and 360° turnable. The system was a pure barrage fire weapon and functioned similarly to the U.P. equipment of the British Royal Navy. For the protection from airplanes 22.5 kg heavy rockets without steering system were fired on an effective combat distance of 1.000 to 1,500 m, the maximum range amounted to up to 4.500 m.

So question is how far was a topedo bomber away when he dropped his torp?

And another newbie question.

What about those new Commands(India and Anzac or did I miss some?). Any new restriction for them?
Is Anzac restricted like Australia Command was?

Both ANZAC and India are restricted. The restriction on India was the whole purpose of the exercise.

perhaps you're better as comedian than as modder? [8D]

O.

No, I think my one true skill might be my decisiveness, but I’m not too sure of that.

What’s yours??

Now that's funny!!

My one skill is my alcohol control. I only drink when I'm alone or with someone.

Is Australia Command and New Zealand command still restricted Or are those units finally free?

2. Why are Pakhoi and Nanning Chinese? Japan took this area around 39. Did they lose it again by 41?

They didn't lose it...they pulled out.

In addition -

-Wenchow also shouldn't be Japanese it was not occupied until July 42.
-Ichang should be Japanese
-Linfen should be Japanese

-Wenchow also shouldn't be Japanese it was not occupied until July 42.
It was occupied in 39. Did they left or lose it again?

-Ichang should be Japanese
No, they where very close in 39 to it but did they ever conquer it?

-Linfen should be Japanese
Yes they got very close to Sian at the Yellow River guess Linfen was in that occupied area.

You might want to let Andrew Brown know about these before he puts out maybe his last map...

Already have...

I've been working on an intense reworking of the Chinese OOB for the CHS team which is very near to being complete.

Our war starts in Dec. 1941...In Apr 1942 the Japanese launched a raid / invasion/punishment operation in the Chekiang/Anwhei Provinces to destroy arirbase in the area. This is the area north of Wenchow on AB's map. The Chinese had a number of corps in this area. The Japanese didn't re-occupy Wenchow until July 1942... and had left agian by August when the chinese reoccupied the town.

-Ichang should be Japanese
No, they where very close in 39 to it but did they ever conquer it?

Once again our game starts in Dec 1941 Ichang was occupied by the Japanese in June of 1940. During the battle of Tsaoyang-Ichang

-Linfen should be Japanese
Yes they got very close to Sian at the Yellow River guess Linfen was in that occupied area.

In early May and June of 1941 the Japanese North China Army all but destroyed 10 Chinese corps in the area east of Honan and west of Linfen on AB's map. The Chinese that weren't killed melted into the mountains represented by the jungle south of Linfen on AB's map.

Wow, talk about following the rail lines!

Wow, talk about following the rail lines!

Basically the Japanese only "owned" the towns and cities. Periodically they would launch punishment operations where they would go out and kill a bunch of Chinese by driving out into the masses and pushing a dozen or so Chinese corps around who would either runaway and find a flanking position or get caught and slaughtered. Occassionally though the chinese would stand and fight and put up some stiff resistance while those that ran away would circle around the japanese forcing them back to their starting base.

Nice map. It shows Ichang starting under Japanese control.

Here are some interesting vehicles Japanese employed to protect their railroads:

And *NO*, I am not arguing that it be included in CHS [;)] It has practically no value on the scale of this game but is interesting nonetheless. (Though I am 120% certain it would already be added if it was in Allied arsenal [:D])

For some good laugh (found the link on the above website)

This is, like, cool, in Beavis and Butthead kind of way

If we can find a device slot I think it would be "fun" to include one or two of these myself.

Yep. Killed one woman and wounded a boy scout in Oregon. i think that was all they accomplished.

Dude you're _SO_ wrong. According to the above website...

"9000 balloon bombs were used, and considerable damage was given to each place in the United States." [:D][:D]

And you think Brady, Oleg and Tanaka are Jap fanboys? [:D][8D]

"9000 balloon bombs were used, and considerable damage was given to each place in the United States."

I can almost guarnateee that a 150kg HE bomb would certainly do a number on a Pacific Northwest Redwood not to mention the forest fire caused by the incendiary devices...[;)]
