Thanks Zulu.

I have been remiss in Posting as I've been working on 6.7's release.

Things have been quite slow as Michael attempt to work a 'teachable moment' with Jim. We've been doing just a turn a day (maybe). Just sent them the 6-13 turn.

Will work to get an update in later tonight.

China

Now that RA 6.7 is out we'll try to begin updating this crazy campaign.

China has pretty much been a favorable location to this point in the war. The main offensive was to the north where Japan grabbed, oil, refineries, and resources. Central China was GIVEN to Japan so the three cities in the Changsha area were taken without a fight (Merry Christmas to Japan). The only thorn in the side of clearing out those pesky Chinese was the coastal city of Wenchow.

For over three months an Inf Div and Brigade have watched the SIXTEEN Chinese units present there. Over the last ten days FIVE Japanese BBs have bombarded the city with spectacular results (11,000, 12,000 and 13,000+ FIRES!). On a whim (as four Japanese ID approach) I order a Deliberate Attack upon the target.

To my amazement, we score a 2-1 and force the SURRENDER OF ALL SIXTEEN UNITS! Holy Cats! For 945 Japanese Casualties, a total of 71,806 Chinese Surrender. This is over 4,400 Squads. Wow. Look at the screenshot below:

Good to see this back. Bombarding a city into submission like that - you better win the war or the AE War Crimes Tribunal will come to visit. [:D]
