Not much land here...

I had forgotten about that! It is land, just use the '1' hotkey. [:D]

The first time I have seen this … wow. Something new EVERY day. [8D]

It's a victory! Take it!! [:D]

+1

[Lowpe]

Super busy week irl...

Soviet and Chinese concentrations circled in yellow. Soviet tank divisions here...

Japanese counterattack looks to route a strong Soviet thrust...only a day or two more.

SRA is a disaster as Palembang and Magwe have fallen.

[Lowpe]

Sept 22, 1942

The joint Soviet/Chinese thrust is throwing almost all mobile Soviet troops at Japan looking to cut off Manchuko and Korea from China.

[Lowpe]

China/Manchuko/Gobi

[Lowpe]

Grim here...

[Lowpe]

Burma...

[Lowpe]

Luzon...and ABDA Fleet heading back to refuel and rearm.

Last Japanese fleet carrier finished repairs and IJN concentrating at Formosa.

[Lowpe]

Sorry for the lack of reporting recently, moved my parents into a nursing home and some medical complications for my Mother have taken up a lot of my time...[:(]

[MBF]

Sorry to hear that Lowpe - having dealt with elderly parents and pseudo-in-laws it can be tough

Hope it all works out for you and your family

[anarchyintheuk]

Sorry to hear about that as well. Most of us are around that age where it happens.

Sept 22, 1942

A few CAP traps work over Burma netting some 2E bombers...

A Val puts a 250kg bomb on a CL...but the rest miss near Mindanao...

Chinese Soviet threat developing...



Some Chinese units are broken down into A/B/C units to one seem impressive total number of units on attack, and two to infiltrate every possible hex.

[Lowpe]

Managed to shoot 5 B17s down today over Chiang Mai...brings total B17 losses to 100 for the war so far.

But the runway is wrecked now...supplies really iffy here as Japan is in full retreat mode.

[Lowpe]

Lousy Soviet tank divisions are simply beasts, even this early...stocked to the rafters with inherent AA.

The only thing that have more of than AA is ARTY. Even this early …

It isn't that they have so much additional AAA, it is if the dive for cover during a low level air raid the Kommizar shoots them if the planes don't.

Commander of Nick Sentai:

..and remember. If you see a russian with a funny uniform aiming at AAA crews. SHOOT HIM FIRST !!! He is not a Japanese undercover agent.

Allies are pushing forward everywhere...but the KB is almost fully reformed at Formosa.

Tojo IIa are a good counter to the Mig...knock out 5 for no loss here.

[adarbrauner]

If you win a decisive naval battle in South china Sea, and you could...things could be turned in your favor.
