I also had a 10-0 IJA leader who did a solo Banzai into a hex with a fanatic Philippino squad. Not sure if he was telling jokes and making funny faces but he held their attention. 30+ IJA guys arrived in the next hex and shot that Philippino squad to hell! #advancedsquadleader

On the other part of the battlefield, one 8-1 took 2 half squads and BANZAI'd thru the field. The HS's jumped into 2 locations (stopped fire) while the 8-1 went to FTR 2 brokies.
Both HS's broke, and so the 8-1 went into a FH, gave his life and wiped out the occupants! #advancedsquadleader

BFP38 .. there was a M3 GMC sitting behind wires and protected by an MMG in a FH, interdicting IJA movement. One THH got sent forth, sailed thru 3 Open Groud hexes, slipped thru the wire, dodged all manners of shells, HE & a 24 FP Crit .. and burned the M3. Whooosh!!!

The more I play, the more my stupidity stares squarely into my face. This harsh confrontation can sometimes make it hard to continue but it is invaluable in its honesty. #advancedsquadleader

Played IJA again. Shot all the infantry off an AFV, smoked the sucker, sent a THH down the street to it but he got shot, sent a striped squad to it with a DC but missed optimal placement by 1. DC exploded though stunning the crew. Went into CC it but only immoblised it.

Not sure why, but I was in the midst of having dimsum when I thought: how come a M5A1 ('Stuart') is fast enough to cross 17 hexes in one MPh but yet takes the same time to cross someone's LOS as a French R35.
That brings out the idea that time is indeed elastic ...

Spent the whole afternoon setting up for a PT. The downside is that I spent the whole afternoon. The upside is that I was dead to the world.
