Raver spoke too soon. Yes my troops are tired, but not so tired that he can shock attack me at 1 to 3 or 1 to 2.5 odds and get away with it! I have 900 more guns than he does at Wuchow for crying out loud. It was like mass allied suicide this turn - but I'm not complaining. It is actually easier for Raver to kill his own troops than for me to kill them. With Homan fallen I am chasing Raver's pathetic rag tag group down the road to Sian. There i'll crush them once and for all (if they escape I'll have to leave strong garrisons, move my hqs forward that sort of thnig. Easier to crush these chinese units in a long bloody conflict and then have a few years of stalemate. At Wuchow and Singapore Raver shock attacked and it was glorious (barely half my malayan troops have arrived so far and he still got his ass whipped. Singapore will fall very, very soon, and then I intend for the PI to fall very bloody soon after - even if it means ignored the DEI and southern Borneo for another month (god only knows how many troops, planes and base forces Raver will have evacuated to Oz by then (Spread out all over the SRA they're no threat, but once in Oz in nice supply, those little DEI INF units flesh out with replacements and can make a very strong counter invasion force if dumped onto a vulnerable beach). Easier to atke them down one by one thorughout the DEI. Or trap them crowded into a single base and let them starve. Enjoy the combat report. This was probably Raver's first big mistake of the game - he's been pretty restrained - usually he's sent his cvs to bomb my troops in Japan or China or perhaps sent some dds to bombard tokyo by now. I'm spread too thin (China is fine because Raver condensed early, however in the PI I'm spread to thin to overwhelm him anywhere and it is costing me time and supply and troops) in the PI. I'm going to have to reinforce before I can do any more real damage there - perhaps a parachute inf unit or two into Bataan????
