21th June -45 ______________________________________________________________________________ Anticlimactic... ------------------------ Korea ------------------------ The expected attack never comes. I manage to land 6 divisions, 3 Combat Engineer Regiments, 400 Shermans, 8 artillery units, 700.000 supply and 200.000 fuel completely undisturbed. With 1,2 million supply I guess I´m set for a month or two. The Amphibs will withdraw back under the CV cover. I leave 3 CAs, 4 Clevelands, 60 Fletchers and about 200 PTs to ward off any bombardment. Even if Erik did try its very unlikely he would get through with any ammo left for an bombardment. Last turn I started moving out 2 Corps HQs from Masan. Looks like Erik might think I´m shifting troops to Gunzan because I immediately spotted movement out from Masan this turn. The 600 Fighters remain in place. Its highly unlikely Erik will try something from the air. If something is coming I think it will be from the sea. Then again Erik really likes to sink ships. So he might try turning all the LBA on to hit the ships at Moppo. Most likely I would be happy with that trade. He probably only have one shot left and if I can trigger that with a couple of CAs/CLs and DDs I should probably be happy about it. ------------------------ China ------------------------ Interesting day here. Some good and some bad. Here is the good. quote:

The rest were in move mode and just arrived from the West. The CMA unfortunately ran into a road block. quote:

Most importantly it looks like Erik is trying to cut me off too. Not too worried though. I have a little surprise brewing. He even set some bombers on the CMA. No effect noted though as flak seemed to deal with them. quote:
