Hi Kongxinga

No suprises in the China campaign IIRC, just a really solid early war type series of battles. The high tech stuff is not too high tech yet but you realise how effective a small tankette can be when there is nothing around with AP!
You'll enjoy it

Good plan with the jungle fighting. Moving 1 hex at a time is the key, it gives you a chance to return fire even if you are ambushed.
A good trick.....even if you are going to move a unit 5 hexes (for example) you should move 1 hex at a time. If you get ambushed after moving 3 hexes the game only computes the 3 hexes of movement. If you clicked 5 hexes away from your unit and let it move itself, when you got ambushed on the 3 hex of movement, the game would be computing your speed over FIVE hexes.
This is also important for spotting/ being spotted. You can sneak more effectivly ONE hex at a time rather than clicking ten hexes away.
I hope you understand my point. It is going to help you heaps...especially in PBEM :-)

I have never heard a Banzai sound but some types of units do get a bonus when moving into the same hex for melee fighting. Cavalry, Gurkhas, maybe commandoes....read the Game Guide from cover to cover and you will know all these things.

Glad you are enjoying the game.

Cheers
