The movement of a few corps to India would not aversely affect the situation in defending China. The biggest problem in China is the lack of supply. With several corps removed, there will be more to go around to the others and they will be able to recover disabled squads and fight better. That's the way I see it anyway. Would like to see others chime in on their experience with this move.



BBfanboy-

Darnit!

I have been so conscious of the fact that China has a substantial supply problem. But, it didn't even occur to me that moving out a few Chinese troops would leave more supply for those remaining behind.

I should have already had those boys marching to India. I will immediately commence heading them out on the 12th.

Thanx for the good advice.

Regards,

-Terry



Also, make sure you turn off replacements for all units, turn off any repairs for industry, and turn off replacements for air units as well. Don't build too many forts with your bases. Only in very critical spots. Don't expand airfields. Try to get as much supply in before the Burma road closes (an extra 500 a day supply while the path from Rangoon to Paoshan and Kunming is open).


Obvert-

Thanx!

I will implement all your advice next turn.

Regards,

-Terry

A Question for The War College


Chinese troops are marching toward India.

Is it best to buy them out under The Red Chinese Army Command?

Regards,

-Terry

P.S. Turn 7, December 7, 1941 has been sent back to El Lobo.

All War College Members-

Jump in here War College Members!

We are playing WITPAE Scenario 2.

The Restricted units that can be bought out and the Unrestricted units are as follows:

CHINESE UNITS Marching TO India


Restricted Units That Can Be Bought Out

11th Group Army (R)

36th Chinese Division
88th Chinese Division
96th Chinese Division
200th Chinese Division
22nd New Chinese Division
2nd Reserve Division

Central Reserve {R}

28th New Chinese Division
38th New Chinese Division
39th New Chinese Division

1st Group Army {R}

49th Chinese Division
93rd Chinese Division
55th Provisional Chinese Division

The Corps'

3rd New Chinese Corps (3rd War Area {R})
7th New Chinese Corps (5th War Area {R})
5th New Chinese Corps (15th Group Army {R})
8th New Chinese Corps (24th Group Army {R})

Unrestricted Units

15th Chinese BF (Red Chinese Army)
AVG Ground Echelon ENG (China Air Task Force-In Burma)

China Command

2nd War Area HQy
3rd War Area HQy
4th War Area HQy
5th War Area HQy
6th War Area HQy
7th War Area HQy
8th War Area HQy
9th War Area HQy
Central Reserve HQy
Jingoba War Area HQy
Lusu War Area HQy
Red Chinese Army Hqy

Do you think it best to buy out these Chinese units under the the Red Chinese Army?

Do you think I should send all the War Area Headquarters Units to India (I don't think I should send all of them)?

The IJA may take Burma and close off the northern mountain route before I can get all these troops into India.

Marching these units to India is going to take a heap of Chinese supply.

If I get these troops into India, I am going to need some U.S. BFs support.

See how I spend my time making all my lists!?!?!? *laughing*

Thanx to all of you for your anticipated comments, suggestions, and advice.

-Terry

Status: offline 		I should have mentioned that the main reason to put units under NCAC is that they can subsequently be moved by ship to return to China, or a point close to a route to China. The Burma road is not the only route there. Mergui-Bangkok comes to mind.

I am not clear if you have any House Rule about crossing borders before being bought out. If you do, chances are you would not be able to buy out all the units you want before the Japanese cut the Burma road, but some of them should be able to get out. The others can try to fight their way out or be flown out by transport aircraft. You only need a few squads from each unit to rebuild them. Note that the division sized units can be combined into Corps, so saving cadres from each division in the same corps is desirable. Some of the Chinese Corps can grow to assault values in the 8-900 range.

I do not recall any HQs that can be bought out so I am unclear on your list of HQs further down. You do not need HQs with the units marched out - they will be training and filling out for at least six months before they are really useful. They will serve under other Allied HQs without being assigned to them.
As for BFs, they do not need much support for training, and most of India is free from malaria so they do not need the support squads to recover from that. Send them someplace that produces supply, like Madras or Bombay. They can garrison while other units are freed up to go face the Japanese.

Also consider that if he conquers China completely the Red Chinese HQ will be wiped out. If NCAC has not arrived yet, it will show up in India or Aden.

BBfanboy-

El Lobo and I only have one House Rule and that is to play the game to the end (i.e., No Victory Point win). Accordingly, we don't have a House Rule requiring troops to be bought out before crossing borders.

The Chinese troops listed previously under "Unrestricted" don't have any restrictions. Accordingly, they don't need to be bought out. Most of the unrestricted units are Headquarter units.

Good to know NCAC will show up in Aden or Abadan.

Thanx, BBfanboy.

Regards,

-Terry

Hans-

Welcome to The War College. Glad to have you as a Cabinet Member. I have seen you around and learned lots from your posts in other AARs. Thanx for that!

NCAC it is!

I hope I can wiggle around El Lobo's IJA to get all those Chinese troops out. It will be tough as I am fairly confident that El Lobo wants all of China and will commit substantial assets to take all of China.

Regards,

-Terry

Combat Report


for


December 13, 1941


I sat on the back porch with a scotch on the rocks in hand enjoying the stunning midnight view of Pearl Harbor and listening to "That Old Black Magic." A warm, calming breeze massaged my buzz cut. It was a peaceful night as my fiance was sound asleep in our bedroom. I waited for the phone call, knowing soon my serene mood would be shattered, just as it had been every night shortly after midnight since December 7, 1941.

Japanese Continue To Pound China From The Air!

I asked, "Did we lose any ships?"

He responded, "Not a one, Sir."

I stated, "I can sleep on that."

I hung up the phone. I stared down at the row of Battleships, eventually focusing on the U.S.S. Arizona. Of a sudden a thought came to mind and a grin curled up my lips, "Perhaps in a couple weeks when the Warspite and Colorado have finished refitting in Seattle and the Saratoga joins the Enterprise and Lexington, an early bombardment of Marcus Island might shut up that pesky Tokyo Rose for a few days.

I poured another scotch on the rocks and jotted down, "Present Early Bombardment of Marcus Island to The War College."

The fiance hollered from the bedroom, "Get to bed Rio! You promised you would mow the lawn tomorrow."

I hollered back, "Yes, Dear."

Combat Report


for


December 15, 1941


The Combat Report advises that December 15, 1941 was a rather uneventful day. The Japanese didn't launch any new invasions, didn't sink any Allied ships, nor capture any new bases. The only item of any significance is the constant heavy aerial bombing in China.

Defensive Strategy

I have been spending considerable time reviewing the different Theaters of Battle, thinking about a defensive strategy for each, and taking notes to jot down ideas. I hope to organize and consolidate these thoughts soon. Upon completion of these plans, I will present the same to The War College for analysis and comment.

Regards,

-Terry

Japan has to keep 8000 AV in Manchukuo to prevent the chance of Russian activation, and there is quite a bit more than that there. They can also move the artillery from Manchukuo since it has no AV. If the IJA puts together an artillery Death Star, there is little the Chinese can do to stop it. Their best chance is to take to mountain terrain where there is some natural fortification.

BBfanboy-

Yes, I pretty much figured long ago that El Lobo will want all of China and that, though I can only hope to slow him down a tad, eventually the Japanese will own all of China (that is, until I take it back, along with all of Manchukuo and Korea).

83 units only reenforces my belief that EL Lobo wants all of China and wants to take it all as quickly as he can.

Best Regards,

Question for The War College

Taking into consideration sightings of Japanese ground units and the Japanese bombing campaign targets within China, I think the Evil Empire is making a major thrust toward Sian.

Analysis and comment will be appreciated.

Blocking in favourable terrain is the only way to delay him significantly. Develop defence in depth, so you can rotate out heavily disrupted units and bring in rested ones without giving up a hex.

I have already blocked the roads in rough terrain for the northern route and have additional Chinese troops heading toward the northern route road.

I will heed your advice regarding rotating troops.

I can only hope to delay as long as possible, thereby keeping his troops tied up in China as long as possible.

CASUALTY & BASES CAPTURED REPORT


As of December 26, 1941


A PRESENTATION TO THE WAR COLLEGE


Gentlemen:

The first twenty days of war with Japan has seen the Allies retreating on all fronts with heavy loss of ships, aircraft, troops, and bases. Numerous ships, aircraft, and troops were able to flee and escape the Japanese horde bearing down on Malaysia, the Philippines, DEI, and China. The Allies have been scrambling to consolidate, regroup, and reposition assets. A Situation Report as to Allied Main Lines of Resistance will follow this report within a week.

As Always The War College Cabinet Members analysis and comment are appreciated.
