Possible to get a screen shot of the map centred on Sian to get this info? Also day of losing Sian. Alfred

The tech support forum has a larger limit to allow them. And the AAR forum has a limit that is somewhat larger than the others to allow for some big map pics.

By the way, I could not make my mind up on a laptop so I'll be trying again next weekend. The "monkey" works well for signet, it has made it relevant for me again.

Do you have a HR on what and when a LCU can be placed in Pursuit Mode?? For me the LCU cannot participate in combat and can only be armor units. Sort of like my old board games when there was an exploitation phase after combat.

Alfred -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (2/11/2015 2:03:59 AM)
Nothing unusual here. I presume the combat on the 21st occurred at 83,40 and that of the 24th occurred at 82,39. Both those hexes are on a major road. As such the table in s.8.3.1 of the manual shows the distance can be covered in 72 hours when in "move" mode. Some Chinese air bombardment on the moving enemy stack would have knocked some units back to "combat" mode and given you some additional time. I reiterate what I said before. You should look at what I posted in cribtop's AAR. You should not be opposing frontally this enemy stack. Move in behind the large gaps he is creating. Alfred

View of the map at HQ India. III Corp is in contact with building IJA units on the road to Ledo. Burma Corp is fortified at Katha and Myitkyina. IV Corps is in the jungles entering Burma proper. I am contemplating some Tom Foolery to exert some discomfort on the Emperor here. [image]local://upfiles/37319/1E5866D98C864E2FA28DDFD911392FD4.jpg[/image]

More monkey business: TFs spotted moving to "�� " clearly spotted and attacked. The Imperial fliers correctly pick out Yorktown. Her CAP puts up a great scrap but is overwhelmed by 70+ Zekes escorting well over 40 Kates. Only three fish find steel, two in Yorktown. Advance TFs also spotted due east of Norfolk Island. I see no choice with so many of the emperors ships engaged in the north Pacific, I allow the assault to proceed. If�it was January 1st, I would be close to AV and done.�The next days will be bloody for me.
