The Allied Juggernaut just started. Cav Corp(J) V Dean(A)

[deaniks]

So this game has been going on for a while and I plan on starting this AAR while restarting my AAR versus Andy as that game is still ongoing.

Also, disclosure me and Cav corp's last game has ended due to some mod issues that have been resolved.

This is of course the CAV Corp Empire Mod (https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 8&t=371163).

Looking at Burma again once my opponent takes Magwe I'm bombing it into the ground.
with an estimated 1500 planes in India, he would need tons of fighter bombers to stop any major offensive there.

Like right now south of Magwe



A loan Japanese troop is sighting

50 P-38E's will go in for sweep's
90 Heavy bomber's
326 Medium

this will be some good training for my bombers as I plan a much large offensive next month with air.
