OMG - the teleportation portal!! This explains a LOT!!

Think Stargate (shape, size, orientation, pictographic markings).


Ah-hah! Only saw the movie, about a zillion years ago or so...

I actually went and looked at the Japanese version of this on their AAR to confirm the teleportation. They mumbled something about "Next time, we'll issue the transport commander some maps!"

EDIT: The Japanese players seem to be remarkably Good Sports. So far (that i know of) the Pearl Harbor Strike didn't, they had one key division vanish, and now this...

I'm enjoying the game but concerned about all this, because we may end up losing it due to these kinds of issues.

At least it is screwing up both sides

By the way if you want to pass this information to the Japanese that is fine. They already know about the 44th, but the other stuff will be news to them.

Status: offline 		No - i don't usually read that AAR except on relatively rare occasion. I had understood that you guys already possessed the info i mentioned in my prior message.

Bugs like these really distress me as to the long term outcome of the game. However, even being biased towards the Allies, i think i would have rather put up with the bugs you have encountered than those they did - just the PH strike-out is terrible (although i understand the Allied side did offer a re-run.) In reading these AARs, it seems to me that the better the IJ side does on turn 1 pretty much sets the tone for the rest of the game. Exceptions exist, of course...

I kept quiet about what was going on in Burma because it would telegraph moves on my part that the Japanese may not have been aware of.

Also even though their intial strike on Pearl did not go off correctly they still pounded the place pretty hard, with very light losses. Thier problems are not from Pearl, or even from the dissapearing division, they are largely self inflicted due to command decisions about where and when to send thier forces.

Gen. Stilwell

The Japs are trying like Hell to take Myitkyina. They have cut the road to Yunan and have 4 1/2 divisions in the line, but they have not suppressed the growing Allied airfields at Myitkyina, Imphal or Ledo, so they are getting hammered from the air. Based on the number of divisions, this looks like an uneven fight, but the Chinese Divisions are really only divisions on paper. They currently field only as much infantry as a full strength British brigade and have really crappy soldiering skills. I estimate a 2.5 to one Jap advantage in artillery tubes on this front as well. Based on this last attack; however, I think I can confidently say this isn't the same Imperial Guards Div. that anhilitated the garrison at Rangoon. Things are looking up. British 18th Div will be here in strength in a day or two. That sould even things up a bit in heavy weapons and troop quality. I think this is this Jap high water mark in Burma we are looking at right now. Can't say when the road to Yanan will be open though.

Is that in the Geneva Convention? Still and all, at least it didn't involve makng prisoner stand or squat for long periods of time.

I'm pretty sure incinerating prisoners alive for religious purposes is against the Geneva Conventions!
