Combat Report China Summary Anyone who has ever read my AARs know that I HATE CHINA and only see it as a way to gain troops for my operations elsewhere. Much to my chagrin, I think that is about to change... To Recap: 1. Throughout the war I have pulled Chinese troops out to garrison my islands, atolls, and enable my offensive against Australia to occur. 2. Dan realized what I was doing and then started to massively airlift troops from China into Burma causing chaos there. 3. Dan still thinks he can attack in China and take cities. Three times this has been proven to be wrong. In the latest instance, the Chinese invested Canton with nearly 11,000 Assault Points of Strength! Having only 3 Inf Div stationed there, I panicked initially but then found out that this was EASILY plenty to hold off the Chinese hordes. My opponent withdrew about 2 weeks ago and is fishing around for another target. My guess is that he will come after Hanoi again. While moving to reinforce this city, I notied that I am coming up on a HUGE set of reinforcements. I get over 7 Japanese Infantry Divisions throughout China about May 15th. What dawned on me is that if I link these fresh troops with what is already deployed in the south of China, I will have a MASSIVE Army to assault southern China with. I don't want to take too many risks with these troops and figure that this area is the best and safest for me to attack. Let me detail what is where and then you can see my proposal on the screenshot. Hanoi AF 6 Forts 9 Air 175 Assault 361 Troops: 5th Inf Div (rebuilding from Taung Gyi), 22nd Ind Mix Brigade, 1 Art Reg, 1 AA unit, 2 BF. Air: 123 Fighters, 27 Bombers, 12 Transports and 9 Recon Haiphong Port 6 AF 4 Forts 7/23 Air 90 Assault 100 Troops: Inf Unit and 3 small BF Reinforcements Arriving from CRB: 60th Inf Div, 10th Area Army HQ, 3rd Cav Reg, 22nd Eng Reg, and 10th Mortar Btn China: Canton Pt-6 AF 6 Forts 9 Air 120 Assault 2,350 Troops: 23rd Army HQ, 1st Air Div HQ, 6 Inf Div (26th, 51st, 59th, 69th, 70th, and 110th), 1 Art Reg, and 2 BF Planes: 72 Fighters Kanshien AF 1 Forts 9 Air 0 Assault 2,150 Troops: China Expeditionary Army HQ, 12th Army HQ, 5 Inf Div (6th, 27th, 36th, 39th, and 58th), and 1 Brigade I have an assault strength of 4,500 between these two forces and when I add a further 7 Inf Div (2,800 Assault), this will truly constitute a massive force that will be flung into Southern China. If Dan wants to play here then....
