Overview:

The Japanese offensive in early 1938 was designed to link their northern force from Beijing with their central force from Nanjing. The two forces were to meet west of Xuzhou, this severing the Lunghai corridor and the railroad which ran from the coast to Xian. Alert to this threat, Chinese leaders massed their forces in the Xuzhou area. In mid-march, the Japanese 10th Division launched an attack from Yihsien to take Taierzhunag in preparation for the southward drive on Xuzhou. Standing in their way, however, was the Chinese 31st Division.

2023-09-12(A) Jobbo Fett vs xs-bombing Chinese winA roadblock placed well enough to prevent any and all movement for the vehicles and the subsequent need to spend so much in open ground really made the pre-designated killing fields from 3-rof 37L AT guns far too powerful. All of my vehicles met with flaming ends, or were immobilized, and thus couldn't exit for the necessary amounts of EVP I needed. Tack on your regular infantry losses and it was a done deal by about the half-way point. We forgot about Guns having to be revealed when not in concealment terrain AND LOS of an enemy unit, but that aside, I don't think we misplayed anything rules-wise.
2021-12-27(D) Paul Works vs Dan Best Chinese winDan attacked the side where I was weakest (of course), but I had just enough time to flow multiple units along the back side to get into defensive positions on that flank. My forward units were able to kill one AC and did slow him, but not much else. I had placed my AT guns in the back along the ridge-lines, somewhat covering each other. As a result, one AT gun killed two tanks, and the other AT guns killed another two tanks. This, and a turn of assaults (some banzais) that were bloodily repulsed ended Dan's chances. He was still in good position for a win until that turn.
