[TechGuy]

Could I try Japan?

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

Yes, off course.

But I warn you that China ain't so easy as in TOS.

What am I saying?????? Off course you know this already! Duuuuuh!

.

 

[TechGuy]

I'll put my Chinese knowledge to work for the Imperial Japanese... it's really fun playing devil's advocate

 

[botman]

Noo. I'm facing TechGuy again! ~

 

[botman]

Hey, is this the long or short scenario? I don't mind either way, just wondering.

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

Road south of Canton destroyed by Bombers.

 

[TechGuy]

GPS to Russia - Cloner

I'll skip the rhetoric and cut to the action (blah, blah, blah, Japan is tired of oppression, etc)

China:
Killed 1 chin inf and 1 miltia near Ichang.
Captured Hong Kong. Lost 1 lt.
Cut road W of Kunming. No external trade to the Chinese possible.
Cut road S of Chungking. Movement for Chin inf from the
capital is going to be slow.
Cut road N of Ichang.

Indochina:
BC Repulse, BB Prince of Wales sunk.
CW corp near Singapore KIA. CW inf on airfield KIA.
Cut road N of Rangoon

Phillipines:
Airfield N of Manila captured.

Pearl Harbour:
5 BBs, 1 DD, 1 ftr demolished. Coastal defense smashed.

 

[Cloner4000]

The Russian Dictator Stalin read the letter from Hitler
pleading Cloner that The reason there was such a concentration of German forces near Russia was to hide from Britian and they WILL NOT attack Russia, and Stalin Believed it, but not his Generals though and they had a plan of their own.

 

[Cloner4000]

does the 4 Div. Rule applied to land units too?

and could cities have more than 4 airplanes?

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

The 4 Div rule is ONLY for islands without cities (like Malta). Russia has no such situation, so this is more for USA, Japan and Commonwealth.

Cities have NO limit of airplanes, just airfields. This is because planes in the cities will be destroyed by planes but planes in airfields will not.

I'll skip the rhetoric and cut to the action (blah, blah, blah, Japan is tired of oppression, etc)

You can always copy from the TOS Yamato thread... the 'Jap guy' has a good writing style...

Luthor:
I'll be following this one closely. Are you using version 1.10?

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

I'll be following this one closely. Are you using version 1.10?

Yes, we're using (long) version 1.10 with the changes described in the 1st page. Maybe I overdid it with beefing up Japan... I guess we'll find out.

 

[Cloner4000]

I'll try as best as I could for detailed, I did get the email until latr but I did put down MOST of the attack that went on

The East Front
Near Moscow, Stalin order the attack
Zhurcov sent two bombers to bombed the two corps with filed and heavy artillary pointing at the troops, both Inf. Corp were damanged slightly and a div bombers attacked a light tank Div a little west.
The artillary from Moscow fired upon the corps, one field and one heavy and a T-34 and Russian Infantry corp finish off the defender where another Inf. Div attack the field artillary, took some damanged but dimantle it. and capture the heavy cannons.

Near Leningrad, bombers straf and attack a inf. corp

And bombers in near Tula bombard two Inf Corp and damanged them
North of Venonezh

On one of the southern cities, a inf Corp fired bombard a INf Corp damangeds it.


Result:
Various Inf. Corp damanged
2 KIA
1field cannon KIA
1 Heavy cannon captured

It will be interesting to see what the result is. It does seem like
a lot of work. I think if I wanted to boost the Axis side the first thing
I would do is lengthen the period of the golden age as both Germany
and Japan have GAs at the start of the scenario and no other country
has them.

 

[TechGuy]

Actually, I don't think Japan is too buffed up... you have to remember, since Eric nerfed the corps (12/10/2) to only twice the strength of divs and Chinese inf is still the same (5/10/1), it's going to be hard for Japan to leverage its army strength.

Don't forget that the new corps have a +2 hit point advantage over
a division and a +1 advantage over the Chinese Infantry.

 

[Cloner4000]

But a corp is so much more expansive 5 times more? 3 ?
