Started playing japan and went down the tree that allows the marco-polo incident. By the time i had invaded i had 2 armies of 24 divisions of 7x2(inf-art) along with eng, log, hosp,recon, and 1x 24 division Man-cav from their template.

While i invaded in Jan38, and finally won in the summer of 39, that was the longest and most boring war of all.

I placed the two armies under an FM, then had each army define its border and attack direction, then i had the FM draw the complete line. It didnt seem to work well as i had to constantly micro-manage the attacks as the FM appeared not to keep the line in order.

I must be doing something wrong with the FM as he many times allowed breaks in the line.

Can someone assist me in the proper order to set up an attack?

Thanks in advance
