Most of the airplanes have retreated to a safer airfield. The return fire is vicious and at least one battleship loses it's radar mount.

First land combat in Russia. The recon unit in Tamsag does not stand up to an 50,000 troop army. The army will move south through the forest along the dirt road to the plains below.

Subs continue to struggle against escorts. This was an interesting combat. Did not realize the Takao had ASW capabilities as it is the one engaging the sub.

All four of that class - Atago, Takao, Maya and Chokai carry depth charges. Seems quite ridiculous that a big ship like a CA could try to maneuver onto a submarine contact, given the former's turning radius.

Status: offline 		I get a lucky surprise attack with my night bombing groups. MrKane was not likely expecting anything as I rarely use 4EB for naval attack but I thought I would give it a go.

Fortunately the bombers took out the entire AKE force stationed near Russia.

Here is an example of one of many bombings.

By this time it has become apparent that MrKane has decided to lightly garrison the perimeter of Manchuko and put the majority of his troops at Harbin and other industrial centers.

This prompts a change of plan for some units.

You should be able to take Arshaan fort and have another good route south.

Status: offline 		What makes MrKane tough to play against for me is that he only needs somewhere between 100 & 200 fighters and he can pierce my CAP typically.

Here is a picture of a strike with only 4 bombers and his fighters. If I put up high CAP he will go low of course. No damage but still a heart stopper every time ;]

Status: offline 		The recon at Anshan was reporting low troop levels and numbers. So I decided to try to drop my paratroops here For some reason they never dropped which was a good thing. Here is a major bombardment by air. It's results were disappointing.

Instead of the 2 units I thought were there it turns out it was 2 divisons plus a whole lot more.

Status: offline 		A few turns ago I had a nice catch of ships at Fusan that were not CAP'd. This turn it goes the other way with me forgetting to turn off the attack and not providing escorts.

I would be mad at myself but this happens regularly :/
