War was declared on Saudi Arabia on 8th Nov, 1942. It is part of the strategy to cut off Allied troops in the frontlines from Mediterranean. Just like Hitler who needs to go thru hapless Belgium to sidestep the Maginot, Dalai Lama got to do this to hapless Saudi Arabia too. A 43 division Allied stack on Iraq border is the desert version of a Maginot Line! But on the next day…..
Major Alert!!! US landings near Manchuria on Nov 9th 1942. The dumb Japanese AI left Dalian, a major northern China port and airfield undefended! Just when Tibet is launching an assault in Middle East. And I notice too that Japan left some of her KEY home island open and most of the China shores!!! What is DAIM mod doing??!!! This ain’t smart?! And Nat Chi which is a Japanese puppet is having multiple stacks of dozens of infantry camping at Gobi desert near Mongolia and at Nanking capital. Looks Tibet forces needs to take care of the defense of China coast too since the AI do not know how to do it!
I guess this is where all the Japanese troop when. A successful foray into Australia. But I would have expected they could have spare one troop per beachhead on their home island!
Failed first attempt in Dec to dislodge the US forces using five Thai divisions which were originally used for garrisons in Tibet's South East Asia. It practically drains out all the Thai org to attack the frozen mountain Dalian province. And when US landed another fresh unit there, I know it calls for my crack troops in Arabia.
It took a month for the transports to travel back and forth and re-organize the frontline forces in the Arab in defensive posture due to HUGE Allied forces present there. Finally on in Jan 27th, Tibetan forces back by mountaineers, artillery and Thai expeditionary on full offensive supply attack the stack of US army which has accumulated to 5 divisions against Tibet’s 15 total (thanks to HQ!!). Took three day-time only attacks over a week to dislodge them, once they were kicked out, amphibious land to take the province in 2 days.
The heat is on the Tibet-Allied frontlines in the unforgiving deserts of North Arabia... 43 Allied divisions and counting.
Got to focus back to Arabia before situation becomes untenable!!!
