A small bone of contention.......

In an attempt to gain time to get reinforcements into Rangoon, I pushed the Burmese garrisons forward.

When the "partisan" event fired releasing attacks on "Forces in Burma", the garrison not in Burma was attacked and took a step loss, but fortunately, survived to continue to be a block to the Axis advance.

I went looking for this script to get the details, but was unable to locate it. Can anyone give me a heads up where to find it? I would like to discover why my unit in Thailand was attacked by Burmese partisans.

Is this WAD, or an oversight because no one ever considered this possibility?

I think it's an oversight as normally the Axis are the aggressive ones.

It's a Strength script that is used to implement this.

Thanks. I went looking in the Partisan script category.

I'm always looking for creative ways to accomplish my goals as can be evidenced by my earlier post about evacuating a Philippine corps to Australia. I gave up on that avenue as the 25% chance for survival in exile didn't hit for me and it was a waste of very valuable early MPPs.

I'll have a think about this, although I suppose it could be rationalised that by moving the forces out of Burma, their supply lines are more vulnerable to such attacks... hence the hit.

I would not change a thing. Pro-Jpn Burmese partisan strikes on a UK unit crossing into Thailand makes sense to me.

OK, I'm willing to buy into both rationalizations.
