Overview:

After two months of heavy fighting in and around Shanghai, the Chinese Army was forced to retreat to the south bank of Suzhou Creek. Covering the retreat was the 524th Regiment of the Chinese 88th Division led by Lt.-Col. Hsieh Chin-yuan. The regiment held its positions around the Four-Bank Warehouse -- a reinforced-concrete warehouse owned by four commercial banks. In the middle of the burning Zhabei district, soldiers of the 524th prepared to write their own heroic destiny as thy faced the advancing Japanese Shanghai Expeditionary Army.

2025-11-11(D) Eben Johnson vs Ernie Cameron Chinese winThe IJA Banzai failed coming down 20B3-B4-B5, add to that two IJA wounded leaders, and the GMD factory was still intact. The IJA pulled back in the top of the fourth to fight another day. I think the GMD should fortify one, maybe two, roadside factory hexes as this would block entry during a Banzai if the GMD had one or more unpinned GO units therein. I put my forts in the bottom, SW corner of the factory. Great game, great opponent.
2024-07-28(A) Jennifer Wright vs Joe Armold Japanese win
2023-10-26(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne DuvalA Japanese winI am sure without the balance the Japanese would not get the win. Went down to the very last CCPh.
2023-07-05(D) Jobbo Fett vs JobboFett Chinese winSurprisingly close after some good and bad luck for the Japanese force, especially a banzai charge half-way through the game that got mulched by the valiant chinese defenders. Multiple GUSTS allowed for Blazes to thrive, and collapse a few locations, though the Blazes were poorly placed to begin with. By the end of the Game, through very fast play and poor choices, the Japanese managed entry into the Factory despite the chances, but ultimately the final Fortified Location made it impossible for the Japanese forces to enter. I think the Japanese should get the balance, especially seeing the records on the right.
