I'm going to have to bring in some more bombers and pound this place a little bit more to soften it up a bit.

the Hanoi area that will supply my forward troops and it would be the ideal place to put a front line so that the rails
along the coast are safe from adventures and drama.

Status: offline 		This is the area north of Hong Kong and you can see we're still fighting over the railroads and the dirt trails. I've
got about 5 divisions that I need to move radically and not much time to do it. I'm looking around for some rail to
move them. Or I could move them to a port and move them by boat. Or I could just march them over there but that would
take at least three weeks game time. I'm not sure the Chinese are going to stand still that long for me to get there.

Status: offline 		Here's how you test how far you can move via rail without paying a cost in rail cap. Pick a unit on the rail, that
hasn't moved yet and therefore can embark on the train and embark it. DON'T MOVE IT. As long as you don't move it
you can still disembark it again. So then trace your mouse cursor over the rails in the direction you'd like to go
and the AI will find the furtherest path there is for that unit. And then you can disembark the unit and carry on
with your moves.

Most of the supply in that area comes from Hong Kong so the road must be kept open to the front lines from there. I'm
having some people shipped in from the Home islands to help out somewhat.

to have to call a halt to the shooting for a while for rest and refit of the units. Supply is low on the east side of
Manila. So far so good.

American pastime for a code name. It worked in rehersal. They all have rested planes and are ready for action; all
they need is a target.

bombardment might shorten the seige time a little.

Status: offline 		This is the area to the NW of Hong Kong and I've been moving units and now the battle has evolved to where I'm in the
Chinese backfield and Kwellin is the prize. I'm pretty sure he's going to want to take it back and I'm not so sure
I want to give it up now that I have it. I'm wondering if he has any more units to spare to try to take it back. I'm
dealing with a lot of Chinese on the front lines and I may have lucked out and he's out of spare units. I'm in the
process of mopping up a lot of the Chinese units so soon they will be gone I think.

However, I did play quite a bit of WITP (non-AE version) and seeing it played in this version of TOAW is pretty inspiring. Carry on!

I don't know if you realize it or not but TOAW4 is easier than TOAW3. The new tools and dialogs have
opened up a plethera of information, a virtual cornucopia of information so that you can almost find anything you
need to know about the situation, the units, the weather, the terrain, etc. It's better. And really, I find it
easier.

And the scenario I'm playing now is the most fun I've had in a while.

Status: offline 		The Allies have moved into Timor and are protecting the major ports and have based some bombers there that have a range
longer than my bombers. D'oh. If I'm going to move on Australia I'm going to need Timor. So I need to study the
situation there and determine if it's worth the effort.

That's good to know. I had just figured that there would be more complexity due to the new rules, but it sounds like the information is more accessible and that's going to be a big help to me.

Status: offline 		Part of the problem with the take down of Manila is that there's fighters there. My bombers don't have free rein yet
and I'm trying to take care of that little problem by naval bombardment of the airfield at Manila. There's two aircraft
groups there that need to be neutralized. As long as they are in reorg or can't otherwise fly then I'm good.

Status: offline 		The AVG is based at Younging and they are the best air group the Allies have right now and so I'm flying in several
squadrons of fighters just to deal with them. I dare not do airfield strikes, the losses would be prohibitive.
But I CAN do attrition although in this case I may be the one losing the war.

Status: offline 		I was moving the CV Kaga from the Rabaul area to the DEI when some Allied planes intercepted me and my 57 Zero's took
care of them. So here's the way to tamper the Allied Sea INT missions, just drive some ships around and let them get
intercepted, and the best ships to use are CV's with some fighter magnets in the mix. The planes will naturally go
after the CV but as long as the fighters are flying we're probably okie dokie.

Status: offline 		I was using the CV Zuikaku for top cover on a raid to Ellis island to do a bombardment when the Allied aircraft at
Ellis intercepted me and the Z. took damage and so I parked it in the shipyards in the home islands to repair. It's
going to be there to fix about 35% in damage so that's going to be about 30 turns or less I'm guessing.

Status: offline 		I keep missing the big picture. It's guys like you that can pick out the details
of the game and guys like me just have fun. They both started with a Z. But
you're right it's better that it's a CVL and not a CV. But it's going to be
repaired eventually and then it won't have mattered.

Diplomatic Pouch is clipping the sentences. We will have to use shorter sentences for a while until there's a
fix.

rediculous numbers. Those were the numbers I had on immediately previous game when I was doing the D21 workshop
and here they are showing up again. I guess that instead of showing a zero for both of them it's using the numbers that
were last on the meter.

Status: offline 		I started repairing rail just south of Bangkok and now the railhead has progressed a fair distance. The aim is to
connect Singapore with Bangkok. And as Bangkok is connected to Hanoi, a fair distance of rail will be repaired.
It's important to me to have a mobile defense that I can rail from one end of the continent to the other quickly.
