Siahang Warehouse Defense

What on Earth are the Victory conditions supposed to be? It doesn't seem to make any sense as to WHY I suddenly lose playing as the Japanese.

Yeah, the whole campaign was running fine until I got to this mission. The whole first phase is confusing. Then as soon as it tells me to "chase the retreating Chinese", the defeat screen pops up. Seems nearly impossible to beat as the Japanese unless I go all out and max out our side.

[TimTheEvoker]

That last bit really doesn't make sense. Chase? They continue to hole up in the building. And I had an armored car sitting on the retreat bridge. How exactly did they get away?

I failed it twice and then managed to win as the Japanese on a 3rd attempt. Not sure what conditions I satisfied to win to be honest. First 2 times I failed on the "chase the retreating Chinese" part despite sitting in the zone across the bridge and shooting them as they crossed.

The 3rd time when I finally won I hadn't respawned in as a new squad for the whole mission so I'm not sure if that changed the number of Chinese survivors which meant there were less to mop up for the last objective.

It could do with being better explained, like I'm not sure if letting one single guy escape means a mission failure or what. It just seems like you fail or win out of nowhere.

well known bug the Chinese arent supposed to get more units every round, once you kill the defenders thats it, will be fixed soon its already been adjusted

I havent played that DLC yet, but it could be that all of your tickets were lost before you completed the phases needed to succeed, even if you have attackers left. Also it recently got updated to count the dead soldiers instead of tickets remaining. so i guess its now possible to lose after irretrievable losses

[Schnell_Scheisse]

Yeh, I'm confused with this mission too playing either side...

[More Like Trombley]

Confused with this mission as well. NRA keeps respawning.

[Schnell_Scheisse]

Can the Dev offer any insight?

The main objective for the Japanese is to kill a certain number of Chinese defenders to win. It can be seen by the "NRA Left" on the objective marker. The number there is how many Japanese must kill to win.
Chinese team just need to survive a number of waves without losing all the "NRA left". Each waves the Japanese gets new assets to make them stronger. Chinese also gains some extra "NRA left" each wave.
I think there is around 4 waves. After surviving all waves, the retreat to British concession thing is just narrative thing. By this point, Chinese team will 100% win after some time. So Japanese team just need to kill all the NRA before running out of waves/time (retreat narrative phase happens).

I heard there gonna be rebalance update for this mission. Currently it does seem very hard

[[PKKA]Tovarish ToNy]

Having to do this mission as Japan with bolt actions even worse with the Type 38 being anemic in power(one reason why Japan tried to replace it with Type 99 due to the encounter of 8mm Mauser with the Chinese) than other rifles like Mosin or the Mausers like the Germans and Chinese use makes the mission really difficult. Yeah that better be fixed soon like sure it would spice things a bit but needs some fix.

This mission is almost impossible... I tried several times to beat it.

At first I played normally, charging in bayonetting as many as I could. Lost.

Then I decided to bring in an armored car. Didn't help, even when I was able to rush to the exit point to gun them down as they came in.

Then I tried to use an SMG and fast movement, but no luck.

The failure state is very confusing, I don't know what I"m doing wrong.. Is it that I am not killing them fast enough? I always make it to wave 4 before it happens, then it happens and I lose shortly after.

It's a real bummer, I really like this DLC, but this one mission really sours it.
