Japs crossed the river on Oct18th..and took some major damage...In my return move
I air dropped a company of marine Paratroops on the hex and ordered an Allied counter attack..
Waiting for the results....I figure I will lose the hex if I dont counterattack so might as well go for broke..Not sure of what the effect will be on the ground...
I recognize the "gamey" smelling nature of this move....I can see the logic of paras destroying the support trains and disrupting the defense. So I wonder what will be FatR response...in a no rules game.
