Non tank motorized units can have the truck sound which should be very different from a tank sound having treads.

Yeah, what he said. I've heard train noise by paratroops flying to their drop zones. I guess TOAW gets confused sometimes.Usually
a restart of the game engine fixes it.

Here's China now. I've just about cleared out north China I think. There may be some more Communist units between me and the
bridge over the river to the SW.

some more people there to stop the advance. Or maybe I should just put the division back together and see what happens.

well. Lots of losses.

Status: offline 		And here's an Allied attack on my lone Regiment NW of PM. I tried to move him to the hex with the other pieces of the division but
the disengagement battle has engaged my regiment and won't let go. And I made the mistake of having it in a three-dot status so
that it stood it's ground instead of moving like I would rather it had done. So the deserve medals but now I need to get them out of
the AO before it gets killed. Somehow.

airfield attacks with his planes and I've seen some of them evaporate so he's pushing them pretty hard. Well, okay, not some, but
at least one.

Status: offline 		I was checking out Borneo just now and found something not usually found in the wild. It's some Allied infantry already embarked at
Balikpapan and I'm wondering if Thomas embarked it and then forgot to move it or something. You don't usually see embarked units
still in port. Plus, I'm wondering where it's supposed to go from Balik.

Status: offline 		A couple of turns ago I sent about 100 B25 bombers at an airfield in China which suffered very heavy losses. That was an error as the target was beyond the range of my fighter escorts. So you can see what happens without fighters along with the bombers.

I have to continue the attacks in the air and on the land to chew up some of the Japanese production so when I get the really large reinforcements I will be able to move forward and finish the war on time. Otherwise it will take too long to wear down the Japanese if I don't engage along the way while I wait for better equipment. We may finish the war fighting on the ground in Tokyo! It does not seem possible right now but it will later.

I think it is a relatively even battle so far. Both commanders deserve a medal!

Curtis

So um...Curtis dude: I seem to recall something about a JMASS mod and I think that's the last one I adopted.
But I've had several and this latest incarnation is probably an amalgamation of a couple of mods. I'll put my
Altgraphics directory on a file server and give you the link if you'd like to copy my files.

EDIT: I zipped up my Altgraphics directory prepairing to put it on the file server and found out it's 48M bytes big.

http://www.filedropper.com/altgraphics

It's 48M bytes big and took about 2 full minutes to upload it. Downloading should be similar.
This is the directory that holds my graphics mod files and you can mix and match as you
wish. Have fun.

Borneo again. D'oh. And all the Japs on Borneo are trapped. It's looking like it's curtains.

Status: offline 		Here's the T55 front lines. I'm still attacking trying to shove the Chinese back into India and it's not working out really well.
Thomas made some incursions across the river but I contained them. So far. And I've closed out north China as a field of
conflict. I've got about 5 or 6 tired divisions in the pool but they are so far not combat ready. They are my strategic
reserve I guess. The aircraft units are being worn down and they are all less than authorized numbers except for a couple
of exceptions. I've split up the fleet and I need to get it back together somewhere around PI. The war goes on.

adjacent to the Allied stack and even though I lost some ships I sank the Allied ships.

Cebu and there was nobody home so I just drove into the port and everybody got off the boat. The coffee maker

looks like it's the next battleground. I've got some Inf divisions that are going through their refit after re-spawning and they are
almost ready for use somewhere.

Status: offline 		Take a look at Corregidor now. It finally looks like it's invadable. I'm going to take the division at Cebu to take Corregidor and replace
the division at Cebu with a regiment from Tokyo. He can finish his refit at Cebu. He's almost combat ready anyway.

Thomas tells me via an email that he tried to do a commando raid into Manila but miscalculated by not counting on the 6 BB's sitting
in the harbor. He ran into them and was slaughtered he says. I feel his pain.
