ORIGINAL: Reverberate The Mershing road exploit (for lack of a better word for now). Missing from WITP stock, or CHS (Brown) is the ability to cut the Malay peninsula in half and prevent an orderly retreat of the Commonwealth troops to Singapore. In AE (Brown) JFB's can land en masse at Mershing, then send a couple of units on the improved road due west (armor if you have it), and the Malay army is cut in half. So, who got it the map right: Andrew Brown (CHS) or Andrew Brown (AE)? Actually, the "Mersing Gambit" should ONLY be available in a non-historical, no surprise, version of the game. To land at Mersing on the opening turn, the Japs would have had to pushed their invasion convoy far enough South the day before that no confusion remained as to their intensions. Which means the Allies could react to the threat. Landing at Mersing later would certainly be an option..., but on day one it's simply a cheesy rules exploit...
