I've often wondered , Instead of buying out units , is there any Chinese base that is near the border to which supplies flow heavily? So that I can move my Chinese units there to revamp and resupply without actually crossing over? With all the brilliant players here , I would have thought that if it were possible , someone here would have figured out the best place. Maybe somewhere with a slightly bigger supply line? Or any easier place to airlift supplies into? Please? [:)]
Not really, if the Japanese control Burma, then the 500 supply points a day you get up from Rangoon does not happen. There is a tiny bit of supply produced in Kuming and I think a tiny bit in Paoshan. Otherwise your boys will get no supply anywhere in the Western portion of China if the enemy holds all of the other production centers. Your only option is to control the Ledo region in the Indian border region and airlift supplies to Paoshan. However, the supply you can airlift is not as much as you need and your operational losses in transport will be very high. Pretty much historically right on the money.
