Yamamoto,
I hope it didn't come out too harshly.....
Oh not at all
.
I'm just puzzled by the supply screenie we got, because for all intensive purposes it looks like the front line is supplied, but the rear isn't. Normally In my experience if you've got supply trouble it tends to look the otherway round, and the fact that we can clearly see that the throughput is being limited by infra, which we also know is lv.10 is even more confusing.
To me, it looks like in terms of supply from depot to front, we can't improve it any more. Therefore frontline infra is only doing so much.
What's more puzzling to me than this though, is why the supply issue has hit us where it has hit us. In the vast majority of my Japanese games it normally tends to get me more just as I've got to Golmud and the Tibetian hinterlands. Perhaps its the fact we have a lot more troops there then my games and we don't overrun/encircle enough because we can't really play all that tactically, and don't have Caverly to exploit breakthroughs.
Eitherway, China was fought historically with Great War Era weapons for the most part, in this history the Chinese are putting up an equal fight, therefore WW1 era fighting is to be expected. Unfortunatly this is WW1 Austian-Italian front style in the Mountains.....one of the most pointless fronts of the war killing about 651 men in every 5,000 and wounding another 953, bringing casulities up to 32% in general. It looks like the army units are fighting on aggressive rather than defensive stance too given the high costly attacks. Therefore going defensive is always an option for us there.
The great thing is though, we are one of the 3 in game nations that doesn't really have a MP problem, although given this is HPP eventually that War Werieness will kick in later rather than sooner from costly battles. Hell, we haven't even 'Advertised the Solidering Profession' yet, hence we've got about 15,000% more manpower avalible to us should we 'ahem' call in the reservists. That shouldn't be done unless we can change the Chinese in the lands already taken by us to support that movement too however. Hence better to save until we are running low.
The only real concern here is the Soviets, and keeping the winning side of the naval battles.
