ORIGINAL: LargeSlowTarget I need new dice as well! Sorry for hijacking, but the game IS BORKED INDEED, and I'm close to give it up (although probably not forever). Cross-posting from my AAR: Got the latest turn in my PBEM this morning. This time I'm close to rage-quit this USELESS TIME VAMPIRE OF A GAME. Launched another deliberate at Chungking. That city is surrounded and cut-off. Yes, it's good defensive terrain with forts build-up to level 6. However, it has been bombed and bombarded almost daily for many months by what I consider is a respectable concentration of air power and arty. The defenders should be out of supplies, punch drunk and demoralized. They have no tanks, they have no AT weapons to speak of, they have little arty, they are outnumbered. Yet they have withstood one deliberate attacks a couple of weeks ago - with attacking forces tailored to match the stacking limit - with heavy losses to the attackers but at least a fort reduction to level 5 to show for. This time I amassed forces totaling 260k hex troop level (limit is 160k). There are lots tanks, there are lots of engineers, there are supplies. All attacking units are 100% prepped, including four Corps HQs in situ and a Command HQ in range. Results: quote:

Not even a f***ing forts reduction this time. I'm torn between rage and despair. Maybe I should just abandon the siege of Chungking, abandon China, abandon the SRA the the POA, and hole-up in the Home Islands and wait for the Allied bombers to flatten the economy. Boy, am I depressed... Btw, regarding the OP - if the engagement between 41st Regiment and the 3rd SSVF Brigade is a "Knavey" (i.e. a historical engagement with "borked" results), do have more details about that historical battle? You can't win. Chinese supply in Chungking is comped by the devs. To get HQ bonuses, weed out the bad leaders. Replace them with ones with highest aggro/land, recommended for assault HQs.
