Schwebo is on the wrong continent ....
North of Katherine is Fenton and then Darwin. But the IJA have ports to the west of Darwin too.

Japanese did a sophisticated attack sequence at Changsha, but then again, I think you have pulled off a sophisticated defense. With the appearance of all those tanks there, I wonder where are your two AT gun units are digging in at? Make sure you back them up with a 105mm ART unit, and if possible an AA unit along with dug in infantry. There is lots of excellent terrain for them to dig in at along the Changsha/Chungking attack vector.

Nicely done, if you can pull out in time!

Will post a China pic next turn.

The AT units are on the road NE out of the Chungking plain, because there is the greatest weakness. Lots of good terrain and many more stout units between Changsha and Chungking. That route can be forced, of course, but so can they all. I am sure the units will make it out but with how much damage? When the base falls they will not have a retreat path but will be able to continue moving NW on the road as we hold open the door.

I keep worrying I will not hold the Chungking plain even until the end of '42.

You know those times when you are just completely wrong? Yeah, me neither. But sometimes the staff really messes up.

What does Chienko look like? What are your plans for flying in supplies? How are you prioritizing the supplies, and fort building?

ORIGINAL: Lowpe

I realize it has only been 5 days since you posted a picture of China, but I am fascinated by the potential for a defense here, with Ledo solidly in your hands and most likely will be for the entire game.
Yes, I am making certain Ledo stays Allied. Of course the Empire could have taken it earlier in a concerted drive, but at this point I think any drive which could/would take it would cost too much. I am building one more fortification level at Ledo (airfield maxed out already).

What does Chienko look like?
Kienko, 5 hexes NE of Chungking? I have a modest force there but strong forces in the along the road to the E and NE. The AT units are there. The other hexes beyond - mountains and west of Ankang - have from hundreds AV up to 1,200 or so. Some strong units are heading to this area from the Changsha front.

One trouble is the infiltration west of Ichang, which (after shifting without detection) has pushed out the defending unit and must contained by the others. Also, Imperials from Changsha will certainly be pursuing our re-positioning forces to break and/or infiltrate through. I am not sure which front will collapse first, or when.

What are your plans for flying in supplies?
From Ledo to Changtu, a little to Tsuyung and Psoshan (in the mountains). Some from (I think it's) Jorhat to Paoshan by Chinese bombers, but there aren't many. All transports are in use plus USA B-25 types and British Wellingtons.

How are you prioritizing the supplies, and fort building?
I would have to check, but there might be no more fort building anywhere in China. The air force was pulled out partly to deny VP and greatly to conserve supply.


The Chinese units bought and transferred to India are broken up as small as can be and in rest mode in Calcutta; lots of supply and HQ's to promote replacements. Many turns some units take 2 or even 3 (and rarely more) replacement squads. I want these filled out units to overwhelm Akyab (and trap the unit there). I can't know this, but I believe the Empire did not spot their transfer to India so I am hoping their opening use in/toward Burma will pose some force allocation problems for Walter.

Status: offline 		I should have added: All the other British, et al medium types are flying supplies from Dacca to Ledo to support the airlift. When fort building ceases fully at Ledo that will help, and of course the end of the monsoon will lift the daily cap. Come to think of it that additional fort level will increase the cap too. IIRC it is 1,200 now so should increase to 1,300.
