TOS - Yamato

[Luthor_Saxburg]

Last message from Wuei:
"We are defending our last positions the best we can. We've run out of ammo so we are using slingshots and arrows to try to stop the barbaric invaders! Good luck to the Allies!"


TechGuy, you have my sincere congratulations for your blitzkrieg war against China.

In all the TOS I've played so far, China ALWAYS fell (which shows that it is too weak) but this is the fastest conquest of China I've seen! 9 turns! 9 turns!!!!

I've done a few mistakes... well a LOT.
My main mistake was to never (but never) expect such a fast war!!! I didn't even have time to organize myself. But you've really showed you master the Japanese Art of War.

Until... Never!
Luthor, the dead Chinese

Luthor, The Allies have a SS awaiting at the previously agreed upon pickup point. It will bring you to Australia where we would like you to take up command of the Commonwealth!

President Sully

 

[TechGuy]

Thanks Luthor! Praise, especially from my worthy foes, is most appreciated. When this is over, how about if we switch shoes and I'll play China? China is a really interesting to play especially when it wraps up into a hard nut and ties with innumerable Japanese forces.

Until then, the Emperor is about to give permission for the Wei-Chinese government and its leader Wang Ching-Wei to govern nationalist China. China will join Japan in GEARPS as a special trade partner.

 

[aksully]

Who has the turn? Just making sure it's not my turn???

[TechGuy]

I think Luthor is suppose to take the CW turn?

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

I think it's Botman's turn.

If u didn't get the file in proper condition, let me know.

BTW, I seem to be having an email virus (I guess worm is a more appropriate word), so if you do get anything from me that is not related to Civ, delete it!

 

[aksully]

Thanks Luthor..wanted to make sure I hadn't misplaced the file. Yes, the Sober Worm is infecting many computers around the world. I keep my Symantec NIS current and so far the few emails I got were auto detected and destroyed. But thanks for the headsup.

Techguy, Luthor has declined to take the CW. Botman..would you like to take over the CW along with your NL forces?

Sully

 

[TechGuy]

That's unfortunate. I would really like to see Luthor try his hand on the meatier CW. Oh well... so, what happened to the CW turn summary?

Sorry about the delay.

Determined to go out with a bang, the last defenders of Batavia abandoned the city (It still stands, but the Japs will find nothing but corruption waiting for them) and attacked enemy tanks in the surrounding foothills.

Caught while resupplying, a half-strength tank unit was destroyed.

CHINA FALLS
After 18 weeks of a lightning fast campaign, the Chinese finally submits to the Emperor's rule under GEARPS. The garrison at Wuwei was crushed in a matter of hours as elite IJA troops storm this backwater town. Upon entering the city, it was discovered that the former Chinese government has fled into exile in Mongolia. General Yamash|ta has promised that he will personally see to it that they are hunted down and tried for their war crimes against asians in Asia. For now, the Mikado grants Wang Ching-Wei, the leader of the true nationalist Chinese, control over the newly unified China. When asked about his opinion on this monumental event, Wei responded "This is a great opportunity of Asians everywhere. We have not been unified since the Ching dynasty and it feels great that the Western imperialists are finally driven out of our sacred country. As the leader of nationalist China, we are honoured that the Emperor has granted GEACPS membership to China as a special partner." Local Wei troops are quickly replacing IJA garrisons across China as IJA battle-hardened troops are strategically redeployed to the Pacific and Oceania theatres. The days of the Western allies are numbered as Japan turns its attention to exacting revenge on the years of suffering the Japanese people have endured.

BATAVIA LIBERATED
With increasing local uprisings supporting the GEACPS movement, the Dutch defenders were driven out of the city of Batavia on the island of Java by local residents. The liberating IJN forces, in aid of the locals, quickly dispatched the tattered garrison forces and liberated Batavia without losses. Neaby, light tanks assualted the occupiers of Banjoewangi and killed one Dutch defense unit. Local intelligence sources commented that the Dutch have been bribing fleeing westerners to oppress the people of Banjoewangi. Unfortunately for the Dutch, this is a costly measure and it is sure to exhaust the Dutch's treasury.

BRITISH EXPIDENTIONARY FORCE SURRENDERS
British troops who were stranded near the town of Donggala weeks ago have surrendered to the IJN's SNLF divisions after running out of supplies. At the sight of the SNLF divisons, they raised the white flag and gave up honourably. These POWs will be interned in Donggala in accordance with the Geneva convention.

Cut more roads in the US. Connecting the rubber again will take some time...

Btw, can someone post the CW results of last turn? My force near Port Moresby was destroyed and I think one of my BBs was sunk near Batavia... could use some info on that.

And who's playing CW?

 

[aksully]

My fault Techguy...didn't realize I hadn't posted the CW turn. And Luthor has resigned from play. So Botman will be taking over the CW as of this turn.

CW SUmmary from last turn.
CW forces attacked out of PM to destroy the invading hordes of IJN Marines. Planes, ships, and SS's all participated in the attacks.

BOMB, TORPEDO, ATTACK, BOMBARD, DESTROY AND UTTERLY KILL THE JAPANESE HORDES

 

[TechGuy]

Gee... you don't have to yell Sully...

 

[aksully]

Gee... you don't have to yell Sully...

Sorry....but the voices of millions of dead, enslaved, and captive Chinese, Dutch, CW, and American citizens ring loud in my ears no thanks to the dastardly deeds of the Japanese Empire!!!

 

[TechGuy]

Don't worry, they've been liberated from the hands of the Western imperialists! Asia for Asians!

Nothing to report for either the Commonwealth or the Dutch. So much for bomb, destroy, and all the other stuff.

Mainichi Shinbun: Tokyo, Japan - Mar 27th Showa 17

JAVA LIBERATED
After a month of guerilla warfare with the Dutch ragtag garrison, the island of Java finally comes under GEACPS control. The citizens of Banjoewangi, fed up with the cruel treatment from the Westerners, assisted IJN troops in rooting out the last defenders. IJN reports no losses. There are only two more Dutch occupied cities left in Asia. It's only a matter of time before those cities come under GEACPS benevolent rule.
