47. IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
15,000 Japanese die in the defence of Marcus Island.
They're closing in.
Gloriously.
Our brave troops gloriously advance away from the Anglo-Saxon swine. Gloriously... victoriously and... mightily.
Meanwhile, our invincible carriers decide to not contest the waters of Singapore any more, in preparation for the Final Victory.
Six divisions (at 60% strength) are encircled by a sudden British offensive. The British troops, well rested and supplied, are easily defeating our exhausted troops. The sudden arrival of 10 fresh divisions bolsters the Burmese troops, which were down to 110,000 men of 180,000 originally.
Um... GLORIOUSLY VICTORIOUS JAPAN TRICKS THE ANGLO SAXONS
Another trap is sprung... um. Yeah.
The final assault begins...
Our tattered troops launch a relief assault, 50,250 men against nearly 180,000. The Burmese troops, at the end of a long supply chain, are receiving less than 20% of their rations and ammunition.
The attack fails.
Gloriously.
Gods... WHY?
More developments in Europa.
Oh Japan-Jesus.
It's all going GLORIOUSLY wrong. Does Japan now regret mocking the GODS in the VERY HEAVENS so much? As Nishi-Blackadder once almost commented; "The Gods work quickly these days." 
The Spaniards just made the right choice...they're all going to die GLORIOUSLY...BANZAI!
Well, it seems the Germans are fighting through Siberia to relieve Japan . Fight on, for GLORY.
. Fight on, for GLORY.
bugger. twas all going so well. might have to try this mod as the ai is actually vaguely clever
I did put it on the hardest AI and give the AI bonuses, but yeah, I am impressed. I seriously doubt victory.
NON-GLORIOUS VICTORY THAT IS.
NON-GLORIOUS VICTORY THAT IS.
You should seriously consider a complete change of tactics.
This "Operation Huge Stalemate" that you try to run will lead nowhere since US out-ICs you by just a little bit.
A GLORIOUS assault on the enemy´s homelands will definitely bring more GLORY to Japans soldiers since they can kill 1.000 roundeyed civilians for every lost comrade.
Plus the US AI sucks at home defence

Oh oh When Germany is finished the whole world will turn on the gloriouse Japanease Empier!
Im sure there is some suprise laid for them!

He may be on to something here, as doing the math every 1 base ic is approx 3.7 lost, so if you hit some major west coast centers, the US could be uhm... GLORIOUSLY CRUSHED UNDER THE MIGHT OF A MILLION HEELS!
What a glorious tactic...being on the losing streak in order to lull the enemy into a false sense of security.
Just wait 'till the Americans get so cocky that they do something stupid, like detonating nuclear devices in two major cities, crippling our government and causing our centuries-old empire to collapse.
And then we shall STRIKE!
Yes, Japan shall strike hard...using Astro Boy and Speed Racer as the first line of attack.
You are forgetting someone:
Godzilla is a product of the American atomic bomb, so he doesn't count.
Weird...for a plastic toy...he looks more real than the American CGI creature.

48. IN WHICH THE CONVOY SYSTEM FUCKS ME OVER
With 52 divisions available for battle, our Generals formulate a CUNNING plan! With a STUNNING ASSAULT on the Allied flank, our troops can chop up the divisions in Malaya and crush them in the vice of a MILLION JAPANESE SOLDIERS!
YES!!!
BANZAI!!!!!!!!
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Wait, demand surrender and concessions? MAYBE THIS WILL MAKE THE CRACKERS GIVE UP!
It doesn't, and our 226 free convoy transports decide not to open a supply convoy to our brave troops.
For weeks.
Even manually, the province isn't available for a supply convoy.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!!!
At least our men in Burma hold against the Allies - they failed to cause a catastrophic breakdown! YES!
VICTORY IS ASSURED!

Gentlemen.
Prepare for...
Operation Giggling Charmander.
