PBEM - WW II - sid level against japan-AI

[sabrewolf]

ok, then it's all clear

i've sent the save (july 1942) to paddy.

redboy had trouble loading the file, so if it doesn't work, tell me and i'll replay my turn...

[sabrewolf]

oh, and now that it's going further:

i once recommended donating a city on the continent to the americans so they can fly in their troops. the journey across the pacific ocean is a long way and it would be a shame to lose time from all the productive cities in north america...

[Paddy]

cheers lads - and onto SM - the man in a rag

I must have a chat to RedBoy sometime as to what were his plans...

an interesting fleet configuration

Jappaman - this here Redneck wants to splatter your vitals

the US not having a clue, what, where and why they're fighting a war?

... sounds familiar

urgent report from the southern front, the Japanese are moving in. Intense fighting has already taken place at the battle of Canton Hill. Infantry managed to drive the approaching enemy out of Chinese fortified territory, with the cost of an elite squad of infantry men, and the destruction of the Kunming Flying Tigers unit. may the brave pilots RIP

on the north eastern front, general Mao is glad to report that the enemy has been routed out of the Kaifeng area. aerial bombing has already commenced around Peking, and fighters have scouted out a jap naval task force in the Yellow sea, consisting of destroyers and one cruiser, escorting a transport ship.

domestically, new railroads have been built, and most major cities are now connected to the railline. And thanks to American and Commonwealth donations, industry is producing military machines at an incredible pace.

The issue of handing over a city to the Americans was also brough up this month, and representatives from the peoples revolutionary army of china refuse to allow any such thing, while reps from the peoples republic of china think perhaps it will happen in the future, however in the meantime they've pointed out that Manilla is already close enough to the mainland as it is

turn sent

of course they have a clue. they we're attacked by the evil suicidal (well soon to be) Japanese.

yeah sounds familiar, and maybe we shouldn't go there anymore

[ChrisiusMaximus]

the save has not arrived yet could you resend

[ChrisiusMaximus]

The save did arrive after all.

I have sent advanced flight to you all, enjoy.

This turn saw the Commonwealth in action at Bangkok, I feel we almost captured this city and imagine we soon will have it.

Jap seems to be weakening and is sending only green conscripts out to battle us in the fields. They still have the upper hand regards air power and are sinking many of our vesssels, thus we are pulling ships back as they are too valueble to keep losing.

we are building quite a sizable worker force now in Oz and almost have all cities connected to the mainline railroad, estimating 4 more turns to completion. and we now have six operational airports in Oz too, so reinforcing Singapore is quite easy.

Our focus will now shift from research to gold accumulation for a few turns to enable the rush building of more units, and our workers will turn back to mining and roadbuilding as soon as the railroad is done.

[sabrewolf]

in the last two of seemingly eventless weeks unfortunatly our only two strong ships were sunk by japanese bombing runs.
we lost a further sea unit, when a submarine lost against a small japanese ship near manila. we hope there is an allied ship around to sink those bastards to the bottom of the ocean ground!

meanwhile, our workerforce has been stocked up to make some primitive islands productive, while the productive islands are continuing to create battle units. unfortunatly, only very few such useful production centres exist! as soon as we have a 2nd transport ship, we will land an invasion force to take away the island of palau!

we welcome the positive news from the chinese allies, that managed to split the japanese occupied mainland territories in 2 bits and we are positive that the commonwealth can clean out the japs from southern indochina!

[Paddy]

to SM...

more to report soon

hope you all have a good weekend

[smellymummy]

the battle of Canton Hill continues to rage on, with August results much more favorable than July. A japanese entry route was bombed and cratered, and intruding conscripted Nipponese infantry have been killed with zero casualties

Nanking is now under siege. The city is heavily fortified with enemy troops, although it should be liberated shortly.

and the chinese indochina pillaging task force is 1 tile away from (what appears to be) Japans last source of rubber, which is currently unprotected. once this resource is pillaged, chinese think-tanks believe the war will be much easier

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Ah My Allies it is with great joy that I report to you all the successful capture of Bangkok, with no losses, though Jap did counter attack and managed to destroy our first light tank regiment.

It will be missed but we are confident we can hold onto the town and prees ahead into the region further

[sabrewolf]

dear allies

at first a warning to the commonwealth: 3 tiles north east (2 tiles north of palau) of your battleship "BB Prince of Wales" the 3 japanese ships are floating around sinking my few ships. we kindly ask you to attack this stack by either bombard or full assault!

except the loss of a precious element of the royal dutch fleet, no combat took place and nothing special happened.
the workers are gradually building up the cities and we hope to be productive before the commonwealth and the chinese solve the japanese "problem" all by themselves.

by the way: as requested by the former leader of the united states (a canadian) amphibious warfare is beeing researched and will be completed in 3 months. all our allies will instantly get the knowledget our scientists aquired!

kind regards from your dutch neighbours!

[sabrewolf]

and congratulations to the conquest of bangkok!

we recommend forming a country called thailand and letting bangkok be the capital

[Paddy]

indeed

my lads are moving into position
