Okay – life point! My wife is currently pregnant, child due in April. Al going well, by the time this ends, I'll be having arguments with the little monster.

Well congratulations! May good times roll.

So, what are you doing different this time around?

Also, since we're not grandfathering in last year's choices, BB Mutsu. . I've got a lucky feeling about her.

drat you! Was looking forward to claim it for the third WitP LP in a row (both the previous ones were abandoned). :argh:

Don't look at me! I wanted Nagato for the third WITP LP in row!

Also, holy poo poo boyo. Getting the super-deathstacks rolling a bit early. That is an insane day of combat, 100k men storming a city.

China's Chongqing or bust. If he can get enough converging on there fast enough, then he's won Asia. If not, he's going to have millions of men tied up for the next few years slowly bleeding.

The plan in China is based around stripping the Manchurian garrison to provide thousands of fresh bodies, once we have locked down China, I can begin to move these troops out to other theatres (as much as they are not locked in.)

So Changsha and then swinging around to Chungking? Won't trying to take enter Chungking from the south require entering its hex from across a river? Or will have them meet up with a Manchurian force already there that came by way of Sian?

Here is the plan in China – we're pushing for the big one! I want to free up troops for other regions!

Sounds good, but are you going to go over the river straight into the city or detour slightly NW?

The Chinese are to powerful in the south, I have diverted troops to clean up the situation.

Wouldn't it be better to divert troops from the south to help take Chongqing?

The brutal fighting at Changsha continues, but the AV is now firmly in our favour.

Those are some bigass rivers, what's the largest ship you can sail in there to provide fire support? Can you get some use from the Kongo's?

Speaking of ill-advised shock attacks, it looks like you'll be forced to launch another one yourself as soon as that beat-up looking counter arrives in Singapore.

Yeah I'm getting real nervous about your impending shock attack in Singapore. I'm I worrying over nothing?

Hmm, what happens if an allied unit crosses the soviet border pre-45? Can you keep them supplied while they're there?

For example?

Cooperation between the army and navy's the biggest historical discrepancy.

IT HAS HAPPENED!
The day of days has arrived, Singapore finally falls to our forces. 25,000 men and 29 units surrender to our forces – its been a long fight, but this should send the war skyrocketing in our direction.


Oh poo poo!

The long march north is over. Now we can rest up for a while, then turn south for Chunking. Then we'll have another long siege.

Does that -supply in China mean the Chunking Siege is having the desired effect?

Interesting. Could you give a big map of China at the moment?

Goddamn, that was a fine day indeed. Congratulations!

How many kills did muh Mutsu get?

Great work Grey.

So is the force in Chunking directly preventing supplies from flowing to the rest of China?

Nov 4, 2009





Hell of a day Grey, though I'm still mystified how your attackers have -supply. Also can we guess which grand strategy the AI chose at the beginning of the game?

Arbite

Goddamn I picked the right lucky ship. Any way to know the Mutsu's kill count?

Would a CA sized shore bombardment deal with American tanks?

Can you shore-bombard an island you control if the enemy has landed there?

Now it's been about 3 years but didn't someone say that the soviets get no reinforcements whatsoever until august 45? Would diverting to Manchuria instead of India be a possible course of action? How're their vp's?

So, exactly what are the Soviet's going to throw at Grey in seven months and what can he possibly do to minimize it?

I would definitely send a battleship or three to bombard those tanks to hell and back.

I was gonna say, Nagato & Mutsu drive-by would sort that out.

They are going to nuke Hong Kong, aren't they.

Shame she's sunk then.

Good thing my Mutsu is there to take the lead then.

You'll be lucky if she doesn't randomly explode in port for no reason on the first turn. :v:

Can we get a roster of the ships involved?

Is it possible you took out the 509th or is the AI just coded to only nuke the Home Islands?
