Nice work grinding through in China.
Looks like you're prioritizing the mountains which I feel is a good move. If there is any way to make him think you're heading for Chungking directly while in fact aiming for Kunming, that seems it would be to your benefit. Kunming seems to me the base that assures a much harder road to the Allies reopening China to supply and reinforcements.
Thanks Obvert. Yes, i have enough forces to be able to advance on different vectors. We'll advance northwards, but 3 divisions and two tank divisions will keep on moving towards Kumming. My priority is to open a direct road between China and Burma, so that i can open a new road for the supply flow to Burma.
Oct 30 1942
In China, the two tank divisions crossed the river and got halted by a 1-1...but the enemy is weak and is already falling back. Good. I'll wait a couple of turns a a couple of divisions and then i'll keep on pushing forward.
Tomorrow we'll attack in the north. First a deliberate attack, then a shock one.
The enemy convoy that was advancing eastwards south of Cocos fell back... but i'm reinforcing the whole area nonetheless!
12 newly arrived Judy-C (the recon type) have been loaded on my Carriers. What about having a naval search of 20 hexes? 
Dediced not to build the Irving (recon type, with 2 Ha-35 engines). I now realized it's a waste cause the Judy can to the same job using only 1 engine and, moreover, it's CV capable.
In Burma, an allied shock attack, on the right flank of Mitikyna, finally dislodged the brave RTA Cav div. These guys will now be sent back to Rangoon, to some deserved R&R.
What else? Still no sign of the enemy CVs. The fact that Brad used only xAPs and xAKs for his western Oz operations, means he's saving his AP/AKs for something else...and probably the whole USN Fleet too. So i gotta be ready. My guess? CENTPAC. Why? Because it will be consistent with his strategy of keeping me always offbalance... a hit in Nopac, then one in CENTPAC, a double hit in NW OZ, then one more... in CENTPAC... sounds logical to me.
We'll see. We're upgrading our first Carrier A6M2 to the A6M5s... a good upgrade.
A mini KB is assembling in southern DEI, along with 3 BBs, 4 CAs, 22 DDs and 7 CLs.

RE: The China Syndrome - 
...well, that was the last chance we had... Broome fell easily, and so the other empty base south of Derby (USMC Paras)... we only got a torp on a US DD... with a brave sub... a debacle i'd say. For Brad everything went smoothly... 
....have to say that i feel a bit overwhelmed by Brad's abilities... That area isn't well covered...not built at all... How can Brad invade so bravely without knowing what i do have there????...damn
