I played the turn in a rush and forgot to write things down... :(

Anyway, just made some bombardements but I think that no units were lost or killed.
 
China Turn

Am pleased to inform the EMperor that he will be without the services of the Elite 22nd Infantry Division that was destroyed NE of Chungking by Chinese Infantry.

The North China Corps suffered 4 HPs of damage on its march to support the now non-existant 22nd Inf Division.

If only we could produce Guerillas and/or hurry units with cash....Ok fellow Allies..now's the time to hit Eric hard on the Chinese mainland while you have the chance!!!

Chihcaiang was a gamble...it had all the best defensive developments. But I had a lot of eggs in that basket and in the end...decided it wouldn't hold and I did withdraw half of its defenders. Would have been interested to see if it would have held????

But I decided that I didn't want to risk it all.

Anyhow....I know some of you playing in other games I'm in have seen this but wanted to post to make sure you all were aware of the following...

Guys, Just aheads up...I live in Abilene, Tx USA. We are looking at an Ice Storm over the next 3 days. Its uncertain how much we will get. But these types of winter storms cause chaos with power outages as ice laden power lines break and tree limbs break off and down power lines. With that said...it could be that I can lose power sometime from tonight through the next 3 days. It is going to hit..no doubt about it. The day started out at 64 F and now is 34 F!!! So we will see. If the save is sent to me and no reply that I got it within 8 hours will mean..I've lost power. I'll keep you posted.
