No strategic bombing.

Japan makes two ground strikes. One against Sian, and one against the cavalry just west of Lake Tai.

Japan continue with the trend to waste both fuel, and energy.

So why not ask the question; why bother?

And it’s not only you. Same thing happens to all who plays with Japan...

The attack on Amsterdam doesn't get the odds that I expected. For some reason it appears that the ENG do not cancel the negative city modifier. I've asked in the "WIF school" if anyone can enlighten me. Or if it is a bug.

Anyway. There are some errands to do so I will take a break here.

Do you need to choose during attack phase ”use engineers in combat”? Then you get benefit and you must choose ENG as first loss.

I tried both. No success. And peskpesk also tried with ”use engineers in combat” as well.

No, no rule. Steve has decided it is like this. Hence it is like this. No bonus to notionals for being in ZOC of TERR units.

Edit: he motivates it with that TERR units are weaker than other Corps sized units (they have a negative combat modifier when fighting alone), and therefore it is logical that they do not provide any notional bonus.

If you want to know if this is the correct ruling, you can always ask Harry Rowland at ADG (the developers of the boardgame).

I suspect that this has been done. It has been reported as a bug multiple times. And rules discussions followed. I have given up on this. Now I would be happy if there was a deviation that mentioned this in RAC.

The Italian supply train continue their trek to find one more source for the Nile.

The two other Army Groups continue marching from Poland towards the West Front.

Japan:
The Chinese southern resource is captured.
Field Marshal Count Terauchi Hisaichi concentrate on the nationalist cavalry in eastern China
General Yoshijiro Umezu orders his forces to advance on Mao in Sian.

Land Combat:

Japan attacks Sian, and the nationalist 2nd cavalry.

Will Mao provide defensive support to the Sian defenders?

Umezu provide offensive HQ support against Sian.

Germany adds 4 points in ground support.

Japan adds 4 points to the assault on Sian. one point is added to the attack on the cavalry.

I will assume that all 3 attacks are assault.

Sian falls.

The shatter is converted to a retreat. Which unit will be destroyed?
