Good job comrade!

Thanks again for the AAR, very useful!

The armored thrust primarily failed because I did not get distracted by the mayhem in the west, but I stuck to my plan of capturing every important high point in the map as quickly as possible. Once I did that, I immediately saw the Chinese heavies coming and then the method to counter them was easy. If the player is not quick enough, these may prove to be a nasty surprise though.


But yeah, fighting Chinese infantry is not very relaxing indeed. Especially when they have a million mortars supporting them brrr.

2x60mm per infantry company.
6x82mm per infantry battalion.
6x120mm per infantry regiment.

So the number of mortars wasn't out of proportion to the amount of infantry that counterattacked. It's just that there were so many infantry.

You may not have noticed but most of the Chinese transport was mules or wagons. This was due to the assumption they had to infiltrate to the battle area as a large mechanized formation would have been spotted by aerial recon or satellite.

I think another important factor was that you didn't let your armor outrun your infantry. I suspect that if you had the results would have been much different.
