The armour from the Malaya campaign has begun arriving at Lang Son and will start crossing into China tomorrow. I am thinking about committing most of it to pass through Ichang. That should prove interesting as Hangkow recons with well over 500 AFV and Wuchang with more than 100. Tank battles!

Not sure that I'd describe an encounter between tin clad and undergunned moveable lumps of metal and tanks as a tank battle.....

Yup Wuchang and Hankow are an interesting 'double act' - do not neglect the ability to rail stuff from Tuyun and other parts to Changsha - it helps enormously with the Chinese.

Took me a while to bridge across the Yangtse below and above there but once done so its merely a matter of gradually reducing whatever is inside the two zombie encampments.

You are very effective with your Combined Arms groups punching holes for you Cavalry (Armor) to rush to the enemies rear while the infantry/artillery have the job of mopping up.

Are you considering taking Chungking and/or Chengtu relatively fast or retreating more Jap units there for the over stack supply problems to weaken the enemy?

Those respawning chinese divisions would be great for garrisoning

I see a british carrier TF still at pescadores. Is that the main british fleet? Doesn't it need refits or new planes?

I used Black Widows in a Downfall scenario game and was disappointed with them. Did yours get any of the Jill kills? Or any other types for that matter.

I don't know what groups got the kills. From reading AARs it seems that the real value of night fighters is disrupting incoming attacks.
