Overview:
A small town outside of Shanghai, Luodian, was a transportation hub connecting Baoshan, downtown Shanghai, Jiading and numerous other towns with highways. The defense of Luodian was critical to the defense of Shanghai, among other population centers -- so critical, in fact, that the German military advisor, Generalleutnant Alexander von Falkenhausen, made unequivocally clear to Chiang Kai Shek that the town had to be held at all costs. The Chinese concentrated more than a quarter million men there, while the Japanese attacked with 100,000, reinforced by armor and air assets.Attacker: Japanese (Elements of the 11th Infantry Division)
Defender: Chinese (Elements of the 15th Army Group)

2022-05-20 | (D) David Ramsey | vs | Martin Barker | Chinese win (VASL Log) | Very different style of attack needed by the Japanese. Losing a tank and a bunch of squads in CC gave the Chinese 6 extra squads over the course of the game which was just too much for the attacker to handle. As featured on IR67 |
2022-04-21 | (D) Richard Jenulis | vs | Nelson Harris | Chinese win | Bitter Ender 2022. 1st game of the tournament. |
2022-04-10 | (A) David Garvin | vs | Tony Gibson | Chinese win | For the e ASL Open. A really fun match with plenty of excitement throughout. Japanese Assault Engineers are a ton of fun to play! |
2022-02-20 | (A) Dave Mareske | vs | Dennis Dowd | Japanese win | Several 2's slowed the Japanese advance and allowed for some early Chinese reinforcements, but one critical "2" made the 9-2 leader go berserk and everyone with him...they all died in their charge. This weakened the right flank. Good game. |

2021-10-12 | (A) Jeff B | vs | Joe Arthur | Japanese win | Chinese chose to solely defend the church and the accompanying two buildings. This provided them the opportunity to almost entirely conceal, but also allowed me to move up myself almost entirely concealed to be on the doorstep. I thought smoke would provide me enough cover to begin the assault Turn two, but one mortar ran out after its first shot, while the other broke. Without knowing where any guns were the tanks were not yet a viable option. Next turn both guns showed their faces on the front lines, but I did get some units into the northernmost building of the compound. But faced with numerous dare death and concealed units it would be extremely difficult to maintain any inroads made, and this opposition fed what would become a never-ending cycle of killing enough of my units each turn to guarantee themselves at least one batch of reinforcements from the way-overpowered SSR6. Did I also mention the existence of fortified buildings and/or tunnels? And the Chinese commissar? And the fact that they have a blind spot they can constantly regrow and conceal units? You get the picture. And, even though I managed to hang on at the end, this one is just way too difficult for the Japs. The last few turns almost solely consisted of who would be luckiest with their dice in the one or two hexes we'd be fighting over. Those types of games are just no fun. |
