thankfully my troops in northen china were relieved in a matter of hours by japanese re-enforcements,

who then went on to take more land for me,
Clipboard02-3.jpg

quite alot in fact.
Clipboard03-5.jpg

meanwhile an attack on the now cut off guanzhou is initiated, with my cavalry division claiming it first!
Clipboard05-4.jpg

i quickly turn my attention to shantou, which has stupid amounts of resources stockpiled, and, with a anphibious assualt my troops claim it.
Clipboard07-2.jpg

this ends my advance in the south ,as i am now surrounded by japanese, therefore the troops are transported north, where there is still room for advancing.
 
eventually i am cut off here aswell, yet am pleased with my conquests.
Clipboard08-4.jpg

garrisons are posted on supressing partisans and my mobile troops are sent to continue the fight against the chinese.
extra garrisons and a fighter squadron are traded for due to resources coming out of my ears,

and huge stockpiles in china which my convoys just cannot reach.

convoys are immedietly started, which i can now afford due to my mega IC!

also i find siam are getting somewhere in the world,as now i do not even have to scroll down to see my armies on the biggest armies list!!.

Duke of Wellington said:
How nice of Japan to give you a hand there.


Yes very nice indeed seeing as he got both Shanghai and Nanjing :D
 
Indeed. Good scraps picked up from the Japanese table. Not even scraps really, but like half-shoulder and rack of ribs! ;) :D
 
due to ever decreasing manpower all work on mt infantry is stopped, and work is begun on a HQ.

i also manage to aquire 2 transports and 2 more fighter divisions, even though the chance was only 9%.
Clipboard03-6.jpg

mean while my other planes completely decimate some now encircled divisions,
Clipboard04-6.jpg

which my infantry then goes on to attack, completely destroying them.
Clipboard07-3.jpg

unfortuneately this leaves my planes far out of reach to attack any chinese as there are no airfields in sight.
Clipboard10-5.jpg

this changes when chendu, the last chinese provence is taken....
Clipboard11-3.jpg
 
but.....
i find that the japanese have sued for peace, giving away some of my territory!
Clipboard13-4.jpg

i reload as japan to have a look and find that they cannot annex because i control some key provences.
Clipboard14-2.jpg

eventually, after much editing and reloading china is finally a puppet under japan, and siam is given the provences that they have conquered fully under their control, raising my base IC to 35 and giving me another tech team.
Clipboard24-3.jpg

unfortuneatlely many chinese divisions remain loyal to the old government , and the ones that dont are captured in hostile territory, leaving me solely with my 7 or so divisions to defend china as most japanese divisions seem to be unaware of the threat and move away to their own territory.
Clipboard25-1.jpg

luckily after a while chinese and japanese divisions start to appear, and the front begins to push back into yunnan.

Big things await this little nation - they are, indeed, already happening.

If I recall this is rather more aggressive than what occurred in your first game?
 
Those Japanese don`t seem so Imperial when they sue for peace :D
 
war or no war?

by now the nationalsits still loyal to 'the good old days' had surrendered
Clipboard01-7.jpg

and the yummanese looked on their knees and were annexed without losing all their VPs.
Clipboard05-6.jpg


with this threat gone my troops had no business in china and gradually trumpled their way back to siam, where they were fitted with new brigades i had been saving for them. strangley not one of them had a single xp star, whereas all my fighters had 100 experience.
this is where i need your help, a poll.

options;

A/ sue for peace with netherlands, invade venuzualua and colombia

Clipboard07-4.jpg


advantages; lets my manpower recover, gets lots of oil, cuts off the u.s in panama

disadvantages;
india is likely to be more heavily guarded, will have to fight america and the allies together.

b/ stay at war with netherlands, attack india and french indo china
222.jpg


advantages;
indo china and india are weakly guarded, gain loads of Ic and resources, would servely cripple uk, therefore making axis stronger, and commies weaker

Clipboard10-6.jpg


disadvantages;
possibly not enough troops, would drag japan down with me,not enough troops/ manpower.

Option B. Somewhat - only somewhat - less implausible as well ;)
