Very nice moves Sully, you really got me there.

GPS Imperial Japan Dec 1942

Overconfident with their victory in Dutch Harbor waters, US subs are caught with their pants down and 3 are sunked by 2 IJN destroyers and 1 IJ Cruiser, lost the Convy trying to get out of the area, darn!

In a fit of rage by the loss of a Convoy the Emperor orders Operation "Slice up China" to begin earlier then predicted.

1 INip Inf kills an US Gar and finds a gap in China´s lines, Armor units move in behind enemy lines.

Type 97 tank vs US Gar -> Lanchow captured

Meanwhile on the south Port Moresby is destroyed by an IJN infantry and 1 CW Infantry is killed by 3 Nip Inf, lost 2 in the attack.

 

[aksully]

Well Has your moves in CHina make up for it. But in the Lite version..chinese infantry are what they were more like with reduced defense factors from the 10 in HOF Heavy. Makes a huge difference. Especially considering their is no russian threat from Vladisvostok to keep the Japanese units pinned in Northern Manchuria. I have no hope for much of a defense in CHina given the overwhelming troop units that can be thrown into battle. But don't worry Has...I'll try to bleed you some.......

Big Doings in China....

General Stillwell's plan of letting the IJA break into the interior holds true to the plan!

THe stack of a IJA Tank Army and supporting units...5 IJA Infantry and 4 T97 Tanks are completely destroyed.

6 FArty, 2, B17s, 3 P40s soften up the IJA Force and then the 1st China Tank Army, 2 Shermans, Mech Inf, 2 US Inf Divs and 2 CIDs attack and kill the entire Japanese attacking force. China loses 2 CIDs in the attack.

Axis SS Sunk by US SS SW of Panama

4-US Naval SBDs and 2-Fighters strike at Japanese forces occupying Dutch Harbor;

A IJN CA is SUNK, and a BB and DD redlined with no US losses

On a side note I see that an Army can only load 2 units while the Civopedia says more?

Sully:
HOF lite armies start at 2 units. You can to build the pentagon with once you
get MW2 to bring them up to 3. I got the impression that 3 unit armies
were too powerful and were causing the game to be decided within the
first year. The smaller armies were a test to see if it would
slow things down a bit.

I see and perfectly understandable especially given the huge Japanese advantage in HOF Lite!! Makes sense!

So do the Japanese have the ability to build the Pentagon wonder too?

Yes, the pentagon is a small wonder in HOF, any civ can build one.
This is true in the full version of HOF as well but you need Fission tech.
