The USN did have a bad day today , and we Briys dont think ALL american bombers are mediocre , actually the newfangled ones with 4 engines are rather spiffy if truth be told.
On my end of the map japan launched 2 assaults , one in java and one in china.
Java i imagine he thinks i must be short on supply there by now , nope , still got 43000 piled up in waterproof bunkers, the outer trenches were taken by Japan but the valiant Dutch won the day <huzzah>.

We can live with 10-1 loss ratios quite happily here and unless Mike moves a big bomber force to java I'll be lasting a lot longer (maybe even untill liberation , but more on that i due time , loose lips and all that).
Now assaulting Changsha is at best a gamble , and one thats been built upto forts 7 is potentially usicide even when 1/2 the garrisons off elsewhere. Japan had turned its major bomber force this way today too but even though 200 japanese level bombers flew overhead only one engineer was wounded and a small dog found in the bottom of a crater. Level 7 forts are really resilient to air attacks. This however should be a salutory lesson for island hopping in the pacific later on in the war. Forts HURT even when manned by stick armed peasants.

Even up in Burma Japan decided on a few days worth of heavy shelling in Mandalay, Sadly for Japan if his guns are in range of my men then the couter is also true and the combined aussie (3 units) and british (2 units) of medium arty blew the hell out of forward japanese gun batteries and accompanying infantry forces.

20-1 is even better news for the allies.
all the above might just look like crowing from the CW high command , but its not as that always invites Mr Murphy to the next party, insted consider it the usual arrogance from the Ministry of War.
Allies will return the favour tomorrow with a heavy shelling of japanese troops along with a b17 raid and hopefully his heavy disruption will prevent heavy friendly casualties. We will see howeever. Not sure i mentioned this before but japans now adjacent to scwebo on the west side , not good as that threatens to cut off mandalay. This was bad timing for the Brits as armoured formations were rebuilding in mythilinka and heavy reinforcemnets are still stuck in the burmese jungle. Doubt we will lose Scwebo but it might be a short while before we can evict japan from here. Odlly both sides AF's have been v quiet here for a while. Mine because its now in china (some of it anyway) and a combined blenhiem/wellie and b25 raid hit the incoming japs near Sian. also planning a BIG air engagement soon with japans bombing hammer. So we are airlifting american and brit AV support forward and trying to build a few airfields nearer the front lines , american fighters (50 P40's) are up on the tibet border area hiding from jap recons , so all japan can see are usual chinese fighters in Chungking. If i can ill also throw in the P38E's from Burma as hurricanes take forever to transfer over because of thier short range.
More next turn chaps.
PS , Can anyone give me any tips on how to get supply to Scwebo ????? its been stuck on 19+ for weeks now even with supply pull buttons on and huge airlifts into nearby lvl 4 airfields. I thought parking HQ's and troops there would help but they seem to be starving now , meanwhile mandalay is usually fine on supply so long as i keep mythilinka topped up with transport AC from ledo. actually this is becoming a major hindrance as all i have got here is lvl 1 forts and pathetic lvl 1 AF. DEbarking the 7th armoured brigade just north of Scwebo from trains and hopefully we'll avoid being bombed but this uint sems to be a damage magnet in burma (hence refitting in mythilinka).
