Overview:

As tensions increased so did the Japanese military presence in Shanghai, Japan ordered China to withdraw all military forces from around Shanghai. China refused, and on 13 August fighting erupted between Japanese and Chinese forces. Chiang Kai-Shek ordered an offensive to drive the Japanese out of the city, and his best units, which were trained by the Germans, would spearhead the attack. The newly arrived Chinese 56th Division was ordered to attack on the north side of the Huangpu River in the Hueishan docks area. Although the Chinese were not well trained at combined arms, they used tanks, artillery, and infantry to drive through the city. The 87th Division also broke through and attacked along with the 36th Division. The Chinese armored forces successfully reached the docks, but would not hold it for long. The Japanese countered with armor and infantry with flamethrowers.

2023-06-24(D) Jobbo Fett vs RootinPutin Japanese winAn absolute rollercoaster of emotions, the Chinese advance started slow and methodical until the realization of the objective (only board G buildings matter) turned the moves into sprints to get as far into Japanese territory as possible. The Japanese HMGs and support weapons were all being lost, malfunctioned, or inaccurate at every turn, and only the continued use of concealment and delaying actions allowed me to buy some time. By the time the Japanese reinforcements were to come onboard, I'd lost control of nearly 6 buildings. With Japanese tank(ettes) and plenty of flamethrowers and DCs, my... tank leader immediately blew up. My tankettes achieved nothing, and I'd taken some casualties on the infantry, not to mention constant losses in my leader pool. By the end of turn 6, there had been 7 or so active close combats, the Japanese either einning then or causing a draw, reclaiming 4 of the 6 lost buildings. With Chinese manpower severely dwindled, it was determined that they simply could not push to capture the required buildings. Heartbreaking for the both of us at different times - had some of the cc's not gone my way, etc... hard to recommend, but worth taking a look at.

2022-06-16(A) Paul Works vs Joe Concepcion Chinese winChinese were able to get forward to slow the Japanese reinforcements enough to stop them from retaking enough buildings. Crazy Chinese weapons all malfunction on 11's (including all SWs and AFV MAs/MGs) - which gets moderately annoying, but challenging. Fun scenario.
