Understood but the question was What do the Chinese and French want to do and I got Assault as an answer. I then went straight into dice roller and so didn't see you wanted to look at the Chinese map. As said, it's a problem with this form of communication, there is no need to apologise and if you want blitz then I'll just re-do.

The Ki-27 at Soochow back to mainland and the K-27 at Nanning back to Soochow, thanks.

I can't get Nanning-san to Soochow so I've plopped him in Amoy.

I assume no reorganisation by Yammamoto (he can reorg the two bombers only)

You assume correctly, sir!

Is this right? Why can't von Leeb reorganise the two German infantry in the mountains two hexes north and on a rail line

I think it's because his reorg value is 2 and there is 3 motorized mps to that hex. Sorry
