China - September 1st 1944

It appears I am on the brink of ripping China in half. NJP just fled Kahnsien without a fight. I have 1800AV in the hex and another 1700AV in the hex to the east and it appears that he is manuvering his troops to defend in good terrain hexes.

The problem with that is I dont intend to fight him in good terrain hexes (for him). I am simply manuvering around them and once the hex is properly perforated it is as if the Japanese really are not there. I can defend these hexes with equal or even less troops than he has in the hex because of the terrain.

My concerns about him regarding China revolve around whether he will make a break for Hong Kong/Canton which still has supply and/or move toward Chachow. I have a division and an armor regiment in Kwangchowan that I am going to move to counter that threat.

He recently bombarded Foochow and whether that was frustration, opportunistic attack or a test of my strength there, it is another area of concern. He still has over 1000 AV and 1000 tanks on Formosa and if he found a way to move them to Mainland China it may be difficult for me to counter on the coast. To deter this I have the carrier fleet I have been using as a taxi for all the troop transports and plenty of surface fleets which I am starting to break out.

Once Amoy goes to lvl 9 airfield and level 7 port I am going to base most of my navy out of there and bombard formosa to a smoking ruin. I believe he made a strategic error in not having more troops on mainland china and/or not moving them to defend when it became apparent what I was doing.

He may have some defenses built further east in China but if they are not significant I can see a race for Peking.

Kuriles - September 1, 1944

I have secured Ketoi-Jima and am now moving anti aircraft and construction crews to the island. Once it is operational I can cut off the islands to the Northeast. I am getting pounded by aircraft based from all over. Need to figure out how to start attriting them by bombardment and/or air attacks.

Shikuka has gone to lvl 8 and now has over 500 AV support. I am moving a large amount of supplies and fuel to the base and it will be fully operational very quickly with major strategic strikes planned.

September 1, 1944

NJP just mentioned he had a hole in his lines in China and that he may need to scrape some more troops together. Either he has been reading my AAR or he is not a total idiot. I am guessing it is the latter :]

Troops are on the move out of Canton and Hong Kong as well. Anything that hits the plains will be blasted by air and possibly naval bombardment.

Strategic bombing is going in on Hong Kong this turn to continue to degrade the facilities there.

Lots of opportunities for you in China now! If you take Changteh (above Changsha) you can come at Changsha from the north or head east to Ichang and then turn back SE on Hankow. Either way it gets at some key territory.

Lots of opportunities for you in China now! If you take Changteh (above Changsha) you can come at Changsha from the north or head east to Ichang and then turn back SE on Hankow. Either way it gets at some key territory.

I took Changteh and lost it but somewhere between 800 & 1100 AV are bearing down on 1 unit in the hex.

I also have a major push heading for Nanchang and I am going to go over the top of Chusien and threaten Hangchow.

Anywhere he puts a majority of forces I will simply manuver around because he is losing supply lines fast. The whole western part of china is marked by his attempt to move out of difficult places. He waited too long.

He has a good number of forces in that town southwest of Wuchow that can strat move but essentally the rest of his western army is stuck and I can outrun all of it.

My limiting factor is getting airfields on line quick enough to prevent much damage from his airforce.
