robou, Manziel - The Interceptors from Manchuria will move to the Middle East which will increase my numbers by two more wings. Five wings should be able to take care of almost anything. It will be some time before they can be used though as they need to gain org in Calcutta for a while.
Harbin should be fine as Manziel pointed out. There are forces around to assist as well as the move time involved to march into the marshes.
Kurt_Steiner - I thought so too
Velko - Oh the little war in Manchuria is far from over yet and redeploying too early would just drag it out. My forces will remain at current strength, or close to it, until I reach my desired defensive perimeter. Satoru goes into some explaination as to where that might be in the update.
alan_le_cowboy - The AI has been pretty good with its timing so far.
FlorisDeVijfde - The skies are a lot safer certainly. The bombers target my airfields first which they have not been doing very well at lately. Oil is beginning to flow and is mentioned in the update
zdlugasz - Of the Carrier fleets I know about or have seen before this would be the 'spares'. I know they had a fleet with 8 Carriers just after I took Hawaii and I have not seen those ships again since, which means they are probably still together somewhere.
LordSlowpoke, Velko - Velko is correct. My INT's are on a par with the Strats but I nearly always lose an equal battle as the escorts combined with the modern bombers are superior in most cases. Hence I try to mob them two to one.
BobaFett696 - I am normally fairly good at predicting AI behaviour but I am slightly at a loss right now. I have no idea why there has not even been one attempt to retake Hawaii as that should be the obvious target. Attacking Colombo is never going to work and I can't really see why the US AI would even be interested in it as its British territory. Typical AI behaviour I would guess is behind these decisions
Panzer6 - Thank you. Third in the HoI forum certainly but fifth overall if I looked in all the right places. Rensslaer's Sforza and canonized's Timelines are also ahead if you count EU3 as well
Nathan Madien - Your welcome. Force sizes in India appear about equal which means the Red Army will lose as I have bombers
cosminus - Both Submarine battles were over after two hours. Even at night those Carriers murder Submarines in quick time. I will withdraw after four whenever I can.
Timmie0307, safferli - Thanks. safferli is correct, the vanilla AI never nukes so I don't either. AAR's where the AI does nuke are modded to allow it to do so, except for Doomsday scenario where nukes are enabled.
Ruodnane - The AI is undoubtedly very confused. Terauchi and Higashikuni are completely on top of the situation however and will remain so. The Soviets are trying to repair the damage but it leaves other areas weaker as it did when I plugged the gap in Datong.
