Well, of all the moves that have occurred lately...the loss of the 2nd Chinese Army was unexpected. I found it quite unpalatable to say the least! It was an Army composed of 2 Elite Inf and a Vet CE. It was positioned on a hill west of Canton. So when Eric announced it AND that it cost him only a NI...well I'm still in disbelief. ANyhow, we know what it is as they say. The First Chinese Army will not be in a happy mood!

China
-2 NI near Nanning KIA
-8th Hvy Arty in Canton KIA
-Pop killed in Canton

[Misfit_travel]

Bombed the crap out of Saigon as I (rightly) suspected it was a major remaining base for Eric. Sank a CV, Transport and destroyed a Zero. Redlined another CV and Dive Bomber. Lost 2 TBs.

Sank the sub that nailed my CV near Iwo Jima (not a huge loss because I have so much air power now that it doesn't matter), but it felt good anyway.

Bombed near Hanoi, Toyohara, Seishin, and Pusan as well. Lost one bomber to CAP near Hanoi.

Marines stormed Nagasaki. City fell. NI on fortress N of the city also killed. No US losses (although some close calls).
