I had one of those when I posted the last post in this thread, I had copied the post I made and when I came back to repost, the post was up. Go figure.

Feb 255, 1942 Talk about a quiet turn, two small air attacks, no ground attacks, nothing happening. But, an interesting development in China. It seems that he has pulled all his units from Changsha to the hex Southwest of Changsha. I am moving some of the units from Changsha to both Siangtan and Hengyang On the last bombardment attach he had 39 units in Changsha and I showed 3 units in the hex he has moved to. I have major roads and he has minor roads to travel, so I should be able to get units moved before he can attack. And both moves will result in him crossing a river. At this point I do not see a movement arrow, even using the magnifier. [image]local://upfiles/4176/68A6DA334DF64F73BD5382CF0F8C81D9.jpg[/image]

Feb 26, 1942 The three units that started SW of Changsha crossed the river today into Siangtan: Ground combat at Siangtan (81,52) Japanese Shock attack Attacking force 25029 troops, 180 guns, 42 vehicles, Assault Value = 886 Defending force 19278 troops, 76 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 548 Japanese engineers reduce fortifications to 2 Japanese adjusted assault: 739 Allied adjusted defense: 589 Japanese assault odds: 1 to 1 (fort level 2) Japanese Assault reduces fortifications to 2 Combat modifiers Defender: forts(+), leaders(+), preparation(-), experience(-) Attacker: shock(+), fatigue(-) Japanese ground losses: 2544 casualties reported Squads: 11 destroyed, 176 disabled Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 33 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 13 disabled Guns lost 10 (1 destroyed, 9 disabled) Allied ground losses: 1721 casualties reported Squads: 8 destroyed, 136 disabled Non Combat: 2 destroyed, 15 disabled Engineers: 1 destroyed, 9 disabled Guns lost 12 (1 destroyed, 11 disabled) Assaulting units: 55th Infantry Brigade 39th Division 12th Ind.Mixed Brigade Defending units: 4th Chinese Corps 46th Chinese Corps 9th War Area So now I am entertaining the thought of moving all of the Chinese units to India/Burma. Andy Mac, if you are reading, I really dislike this map with all the extra bases, there are so many dot bases I have to protect against an airborne attack that it dilutes my forces.

ny59giants -> RE: Mar 7, 1942 (10/1/2021 12:39:25 AM)
The expense he is paying for at Singapore is lost time that he will never get back. [:-] I did manage once to take it on Dec 31st, but pulled off a very effective Mersing Gambit. My problem was that I did not use that extra time for further conquest. [:(] The hardest thing for a Japanese player in those early months is to maintain a high tempo.

Nomad -> RE: Mar 7, 1942 (10/1/2021 1:20:30 AM)
I spent a good amount of my extra PPs to buy out the bad commanders of the biggest units and the command and army HQs. I feel that helped a good bit. I hope it is enough time.
