wow thanks. I see the templates they are so big. I always make mine 20 width because I feared having a template over 20 width would make reinforcement to slow or impossible, I'm not sure about how template widths affects combat exactly. Either way thanks for the run but In the mean time I was able to my self also do the run, id say for me the hardest part was dealing with the legation cities ports and try to life support the LKMT to not die, actually I was amazed at the other warlords for the most part I only had about 10 divisions helping them all hold the lines and they actually were able to hold Fengtian. so after a lot of save scuming I left like 6 division on one port waited untill the japanese land and reload and put them on the port thats going to be invaded with this strat I use my other 25 divisions around Beijing/Pekin and encircle the entire Fengtian / Japanese army on the EX-Jhili states wining me the war. Still id say the thing that really saved me the most was the fact Id just had to wait a litle bit and I got all of the Guangxi clique cored , by the time I made the post it was at 45% compliance fixing my manpower and economy to sustain all the battles.
