Power problems due to very high winds caused a bit of a delay...just sent the turn back to Allies, and I expect major fireworks on the next turn, as Wargamr never backs down.

Something appears to be wrong. The Allies are taking relatively heavy losses whereas I see moderate Japanese air losses and no Japanese naval losses. At least for the size of the forces involved.

[:D] Both are well known and widely respected. This is a good example of how the Allies can stick their hands in the tar baby too early and find it tough to extricate easily. Or in other words ... nothing is wrong.

Yes, it looks like someone caught a tiger by the tail and now needs help to let go . . . Yes, I know that these are human opponents but some people do claim that I have a smart posterior. [8\|] I have learned a lot from Lowpe and others just by seeing and reading the AARS. Sometimes I learn from them by reading their opponents AARs. One of these days I might try a PBEM but I want to get relocated and have a better internet service than a cell phone. I also need to either repair this computer or get a new one. Dell notebooks don't work very well with no battery and with a dead battery, they just don't work.

Lowpe -> RE: Lowpe (Japan) vs Wargamr (Allies) (3/1/2019 4:15:15 PM)
1-2 days away from the first attack on Chungking. I think I have laid the groundwork here very well. I am hoping to take the city after 7 attacks depending upon what the forts are. I plan on taking the two bases west of Changsha over the next three days. Ceylon is getting reinforcements, I had stripped it of defenses pretty much, but now need to keep it to attempt auto victory. Hoping to nail a few more allied destroyers in the frigid north this next turn.

At least for the size of the forces involved. Nothing's is wrong. Agreed. EXP matters a lot and at this point IJ forces have a lot more than allies. Lowpe has likely concentrated his high EXP forces here and is reaping the benefits of that.

First attack at Chungking...I wanted to see if I have to divert the tank divisions here or not. Still outside of the city are two more tank regiments and several artillery units.

Nice attack! You killed 6 units, which admittedly is just a drop in the bucket. They're already short on supply. Keep pounding with artillery and bombers between assaults. Edit: Bring in those tank divisions along with as much infantry as you can scrape up. Their adjusted AV is only half their raw AV. That's great!
