WOW! As expected, the point came where the enemy defense collapsed. It came unexptected soon and unexpected clear. The second big victory in China after the fall of Changsha with over 100.000 troops surrendering there. At Hengchow, 18 enemy units surrender, including 6 HQs. The enemy losses were worth over 700 victory points... Never had such an advantage in China so early. Our troops are marching on Chungking (where they will only hold their position), I have an army sitting at Kweiyang (holding position to block enemy attacks out of the town) and now I have some 4500 assault points available to wear down the defenders at Wuchow. Of course after the bloody fights at Hengchow my troops involved there need time to get back to strenght as I don´t really like to use divisions that are below 90% combat readiness. Most of my Hengchow troops are between 80 and 85/100 now. Getting them to 90% will take a couple of weeks.

as the Chinese airforce has used Chungking as a staging base for their bombers attacking my LCUs at Kweiyang we have ordered our medium bomber force to visit the place. Not that many airfield hits but the airbase should be 100% damaged after 30 hits. With 150.000 troops there the damage will be repaired quickly, but we have destroyed a nice number of bombers so Miller will surely think about moving his aircraft within range of my bombers again. The obsolete Chinese fighters got the bounce and took down a surprised Zero.

I´m also not pleased by the still growing number of Allied troops at Kweiyang. I have two bgds coming in on the road from the East now, will take another 3 or 4 days to see them arriving thouhg. I´m amazed that the Chinese still can field such a high assault value here. I expect the same (or even more) at Chungking, Northern China isn´t really strong though (I´m neither) and the Western bases are all mostly stripped with the troops taking position at Kweiyang. We will hold position here while killing off the enemy in Wuchow and we will also move into Chungking within the next couple of turns with a force of about 2000 assault points. Easily strong enough to hold off Chinese attacks as we should get a nice adjusted av with the urban bonus in Chungking. Will be interesting if Miller will order an attack at Chungking as soon as my troops will have arrived there. With the experience so far, I guess he will... [;)]

[castor troy]

turns are done pretty fast, not much interesting happening... with the loss of CV Enterprise I guess we won´t see as much Allied activity as we would have seen with the Allied having 4 CVs...

ship is dead, carries half of a construction btn which will be unloaded though. It won´t take long and the Allied subs are driving me crazy I guess. Even though I started off with the destruction of some 30 subs, the remaining Allied subs are a pain. Too much of a pain when I look at the fact that they are mostly sitting static in my ports and I am putting more than a hundred ships into ASW TFs with another hundred for escort duty. I´m sure the die rolls will be the opposite at some point, but so far all my efforts were useless...

my troops at Kweiyang hold once again, shredding the next Allied attack for nearly no loss. I feared to be in big trouble when all the Chinese units arrived here as reinforcement while my two bgds are still 3 turns out to arrive. Sitting fully supplied in this wooden hex behind some forts already enables us to easily withstand the Allied attacks. The 5 TK btn surely helped a lot also. All the Allied attacks in China are nothing but desperate, China is already doomed.

will try to intensivate the air war over Burma/India. Wonder if Miller will take on the fight, I wouldn´t recommend to do it. [;)] Miller has moved an Indian bgd over the trails to Akyab and has 11 units at Myitkina. Seems like he wants to defend India in Burma... [:D] We wanted to grind down the British pilot pool but instead of meeting British Hurricanes, we were engaged by an Australian squadron. Dacca is max range for my Oscars from Mandalay, all other targets further West can only be swept by Zeroes.

[ny59giants]

I see that there is no action what so ever in the Aleutians. Is that by design or luck??  Has there been any base expansion done there by Miller??  Sometimes as the Allies I focus on fort building until the winter penalty is over (don't some up in reports). With his attacks on Wake, I would try a spring offensive up here.

nothing happening up north and I´m happy about that. I hate fighting up there. I seized Kiska early on but am not really defending it. If Miller starts building up his bases in the North I will start reinforcing the Kuriles. With mountaineous terrain I had a couple of PBEM opponents desperately atacking but failing.

my divisions entered Chungking to block any outbreak of those units there into the South and to stop supply production there. I knew Miller would order an attack and I knew the outcome. [:D] Impossible to attack 2400+ assault points in urban terrain, this is suicide. The Chinese not just took a lot of losses, they surely burnt a lot of precious supply also. The supply situation must really become desperate in the next months, I guess that the Chinese get some 2000 supply points each day, which is by far not enough to supply the 500.000 troops in China, especially when I order a prolonged offensive.
