AAR Bwheatley VS General Billy (rematch)

[bwheatley]

I found 2 Chinese corps w/o local warlords so i have 750 AV to have fun with. Going to use it to flank billy in china and try to scare him off guard.
But i fear the faster he gets out of china the faster he'll hit hong kong or singapore or india.

Where do you guys think he'll go next?

To quote my daddy..."When shit goes your way too easily there is something wrong"

IE. Iwo Jima falling means a nice set of CD guns and a division is now freed up for other duty. On the good side i'll have 2 units of seabees there within a week to turn this into a level 9 fort as well and then be able to be close to mainland japan. How close do you think i can get before he'll hit back?

He is trying to encircle Homan but i threw a chinese corp at him to stop him. I eventually get repulsed but at least i will buy some time before he can encircle homan. Which is a level 9 fort by the way. And will buy me time for my big plan

That attack at nanking was designed to make him think i want to force a breakthrough at nanking when my real goal is to eliminate his forces elsewhere. More details on my plan to follow

I'm going to try to keep billy off his toes. And it looks like he's got several divisions at homan.
If i can keep him bogged down in homan then i can punch through to the hsinyang highway quickly. Then move down to wuhan and encircle him. I also freed up the 1st australian division to move to wuhan. It will add another 300 AV to the fight so we can hopefully quickly break him down before billy gets wise and sends all his forces to crush me. I need to keep him bogged down in china i can't afford for him to pull out and hit me where i'm weak.

Thoughts??
