We return the favor torpedoing a small tanker of Sakhalin, sinking her.

Brisbane theater...looking strong, over 300 AV at Toowoomba plus 10 Matildas and 10 Stuarts...Maryborough strong and the road south from Maryborough seems secure. Yesterday bombarded the IJA troops at Maryborough with a cruiser and some destroyers.

34th Regiment at Sydney, recovering from their valiant stand, has recovered 50% of their disablements.

Guessing the main road/railroad line...

Yep, Capt, you could make the argument that more damage would be done by excess fuel consumption by letting the tanker live and continue its run for the duration of the war...might have been a decoy/warning system.

another 12 inches or so of snow, followed by sleet and freezing rain...

Well, a Type-1 sure is not a Tonan Whaler, but still they can be useful for smaller ports (like Miri or Balikpapan, or Shikuka).

Also, isn’t DaIronBabes a mod with reduced load capacity ? I have never played this one, but reduced capacity may change the experience, and usefulness of various classes.

Don't underestimate the small TK, it is indispensable conversation starter!

Sinking any tanker is useful, more useful if they are loaded . . .

The Dutch hold out one more time! If Japan holds true to course, they will shock again tomorrow...but we managed to get forts up to one overnight. Perhaps we will be able to hold again?

Those Bleheims were lost flying supplies to China...will need to look at the fatigue, etc. Worst day of op losses flying to China so far.

Raoul and the Cook Islands achieves his aims of cutting off without risking emergency reinforcements

Course, he might reckon that you've put all your troops into Oz, rather than NZ............

equal assault value, but we have better tubes. Forts are 3+ and building. The great fear is a flank invasion.

Japan has a lot of forces just north of Kweilin...16 units, very tank heavy.


We are massing our best units for a big climatic tank battle in terrain of our choosing. Using our interior lines, and transports to meet him with our best.

43rd Cavalry with Stuarts
One Chinese Artillery unit with 105mms
2 Indian Mountain Gun units (3.7 inch)
1 British 2 pounder AT unit
1 Chinese 37mm AT unit
4 US TOE Chinese Corps with healthy AT pools, plus AA and 75mm guns prioritized to them.
1 Base force for AA

Regular Chinese Corps to fill out the stacking limit...
