A really bad day in the allied camp...






This doesn't explain the approach route taken by the enemy and the obstacles encountered en route. Possible to get a screen shot of the map centred on Sian to get this info? Also day of losing Sian.

I don't think you can, they are too large. The tech support forum has a larger limit to allow them. And the AAR forum has a limit that is somewhat larger than the others to allow for some big map pics.

I presume the combat on the 21st occurred at 83,40 and that of the 24th occurred at 82,39.  Both those hexes are on a major road.  As such the table in s.8.3.1 of the manual shows the distance can be covered in 72 hours when in "move" mode.  Some Chinese air bombardment on the moving enemy stack would have knocked some units back to "combat" mode and given you some additional time.

I reiterate what I said before.  You should look at what I posted in cribtop's AAR.  You should not be opposing frontally this enemy stack.  Move in behind the large gaps he is creating.

TFs spotted moving to "       " clearly spotted and attacked. The Imperial fliers correctly pick out Yorktown. Her CAP puts up a great scrap but is overwhelmed
by 70+ Zekes escorting well over 40 Kates. Only three fish find steel, two in Yorktown. Advance TFs also spotted due east of Norfolk Island. I see no choice with
so many of the emperors ships engaged in the north Pacific, I allow the assault to proceed. If it was January 1st, I would be close to AV and done. The next days will be bloody for me.
