You expect me to believe the Koreans?

Surely you jest. :D

And volunteers from Indochina! If Britain finds out it will be having stern words with its SAER ally... :evil:

Britain is obviously blind if they were to do that. It's obvious that its SEAR ally is doing this for the greater 'good'. :D

After negotiations with SAE it has been decided that the freighters will sail under the flag of Chosen.

.. so South African ships flying Chosen colors, meaning that someone will be in trouble when Chinese subs attack those ships.

Okay. I was still thinking of what Jong Un said (the "I doubt the Chinese would dare to sink South African freighters" bit).

Under reasonable circumstances, it is unlikely that the Chinese would sink South African flag freighters. However, it seems as if the South African Government may have decided that the circumstances are not reasonable, and have chosen to have the shipments in question carried under other flags. All in all, probably a wise course of action.

They could also sell the freighters to Chosen as well. Might as well milk all the profit you can. :D

Hi!

Great job you guys are doing with this conflict. Please keep on posting...

Would it be possible to have an updated map, large scale probably to show how far the Chosen forces have advanced into Chinese territory?

Is there a chance to learn what the butcher list looks like? To what level attacking/defending forces have been reduced by losses (60%, 50%, less of men and material)?

Your air forces also have been quite active. What impact did the fighting have on available forces and stocks?

Please don't think I expect detailed numbers. A brief summary of how much the first days of fighting have cost is all I am asking for.

Thanks. glad you like it.
An updated overview map is in the works, I will post it in the next few days.
I had a few thoughts about casualty reports....I decided that I will release a report which lists the overall casualties weekly (the first one on 31st July).
Think it is too much work to do detailed casualty reports for each division separately. Though, if in a battle unforseen casualties occur or the losses are particularly high they will be mentioned in the division or army SITEREPs.
Concerning the impact on stockpiles. To be honest I haven't made lists with stockpiled materiel or worked out production rates for Chosen. While keeping in mind that Chosen is a third world country, I just assume that the stockpiles and production-rate is, at least at this time, sufficient to replace lost equipment and to equip newly formed divisions.

Replacing lost equipment should not be a problem...
*stuffs a bunch of planes and tanks into Pusan-bound cargo ships*
... but replacing a (s)killed soldier might be a bit more problematic when things drag on...

I think you really don't need stockpile lists. But you are doing army stuff on a detailed level, so total status of (large) units in percentage might be helpful OOC.

I agree with Walter on the skilled men issue. That's probably going to be your most serious issue, being the "junior partner" in this adventure.

As for material - you already know whom to ask. ;o)

It would be a bit problematic replacing lost material quickly when you have to rely on the SAE. It takes forever for the goods to arrive.

As interesting as the story is, can I ask you guys to pick up the pace a little? You're moving slower than real-time right now.

You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

Yes, the pace is exceptionally slow at the moment. I will try to speed it up a little bit. It will get faster after the Yuanbao battle is over anyway.

I don't think it is a wise decision to have the SS Asiatic go for a rescue mission, especially so if some destroyers are already on their way to the place....
