To date based off the combat reports approximately 650 Allied squads have been destroyed (mostly Indian I suspect) and a lot of kit. Japanese losses would be a quarter of that but the forts are now zero and the Allies are intensifying their attacks.

At this stage I would usually try to commence an emergency evac but having been used to the late slaughter of 45 on multiple occasions, I have become more hardened to losses.

An emergency convoy was put together and the 4th ID was now committed to the battle. Of course it was meant by swarms of allied fighter bombers and mass airbattles once again took place.

Below was about the 9th wave to attack my shipping.

The Allies lost close to 100 aircraft versus 60 to the Empire. Not a bad day but we have shot our bolt a bit here. The 4Es play havoc with the airfield at Calcutta and there is now close to 100 disabled IJA/IJN fighter aircraft stranded at the base.

Mini KB is parked outside and lending its CAP where it can to bulk up the struggling air defence. Sweeps by P38s and spitfires are gradually taking their toll as well.

Your Manchuko garrison is only 11.5K AV; is that enough for Japan.

My goodness your vehicle production is sky high!


I believe the garrison should be fine. Once Chungking falls the IJA will commence massing back in Manchuria.

I love my vehicles and last game I needed every one of them fighting the Ruskies.

It doesn't take much to fall back to page 2 these days!


Tell me about it!!

So. About Russia. You may have been through this a bit in the past, but do you have a plan for where to hit first? I just noticed in my Allied game that Vlad has level 9 starting forts!

So that seems off the table, and I'd imagine cutting the rail to start well North would be a no brainer. Since you have experience here love to hear what you'd do this time.

Hi Obvert

My plan with Russia is not getting tied down or focused on any one static position. I want to draw the Ruskies out and inflict heavy losses on their ground and air forces. The battlefield is vast and my resources limited so occupying terrain can be rather pointless unless there critical blocking positions.

I think the key is to make them bleed without being stuck in an attritional slugfest outside one of those monster positions.

Hopefully I can get started in a couple of months but India and China are causing me a few problems.

I will develop some maps prior to jump off and post them.

The next inf division was cancelled as a reinforcement and they can probably thank their lucky digital stars for that decision. The emergency evacuations started immediately with elements of 2 x inf divisions rescued off the port but unfortunately Jeff caught the third and smashed it.

Approximately 40K of Japanese troops will perish in the next week or so. The overall damage to the Allies is hard to calculate without getting access to his pools but it was a very vicious battle with the losses for both sides very high.


Ouch- the poor 53rd Inf div didn't quite get away!!!!

The Chinese unit is quite impressive!

The question is does he continue his advance and swing up the coast or head back and deal with Madras and Bombay????
