The war with Chile is on and Russian units slowly move South along the coast.

We make surprisingly little progress against relatively small opposition. This is not a supply problem, since the experienced Russian Generals carefully advance within their expanding supply "cloud". Unit-for-unit, the enemy is definitely damaging more of my war-hardened little guys than we are of them.



We are so busy repelling attacks and sending units for repair that we have had no time to build local Russian repair barracks or air-fields.

Eventually I discovered the problem with my invasion force - they were set to "Attack Only Targets". My units had been just sitting still like dumb bunnies, inviting attack, awaiting orders to strike back.



I correct this immediately by setting all units to "Attack targets of Opportunty", setting initiative to Medium, etc.

I also call upon my special connections with the WM and have construction of new repair bases in the area expedited.

There are 528 km left to Santeago and enemy sorties North against my invasion force are beginning to slacken.

My corrective measures apparently worked as we spring South to the enemy Capital:



Here we have 363 units headed South to attack the enemy Capital. And to no one's surprise, the encounter turns into a fur-ball:



But what happens when 363 Russian units battle in a fur-ball?

Ding, ding, ding:

OK, did everybody read all of that? Tell the truth now...

Did anyone notice that I have been promoted to General - not to mention AAR World Supreme Ruler about 10 times since 2006? Hail Me!

[Insert other assorted chest-pounding and self-back-slapping, high-fives, etc. here]

I am now open to questions and assorted sincere praise. Gifts of Cash, guns, drugs and women can be negociated via BM...
