************************************************************** *** CHS Scenario 13. Changes by Captain Cruft, 30 May 2005 *** ************************************************************** Japan ===== Base HQs -------- Most of the Bases in Burma, Malaya, Philippines, DEI & New Guinea/Solomons were assigned to their local Army HQ rather than the correct Command HQ. All BASEs with HQ of 14th Army re-assigned to Southern Area Army. All BASEs with HQ of 15th Army re-assigned to Burma Area Army. All BASEs with HQ of 16th Army re-assigned to Southern Area Army. All BASEs with HQ of 17th Army re-assigned to Southeast Fleet. All BASEs with HQ of 25th Army re-assigned to Southern Area Army. Tabun-Nur in NE China was incorrectly assigned to Kwantung Area Army. BASE 251 Tabun-Nur re-assigned to China Expedtionary Army. A lot of bases out in the Pacific were assigned to Southern Fleet. BASEs 670 Yap, 671 Ulithi, 672 Woleai, 673 Satawal, 674 Truk, 724 New Hanover Island, 725 Emirau Island, 726 Mussau Island re-assigned to Southeast Fleet. BASEs 664 Saipan, 665 Tinian, 666 Guam, 677 Eniwetok, 679 Rongelap, 680 Wotje, 681 Kwajalein, 682 Maloelap, 683 Majuro, 684 Namorik, 685 Jaluit, 686 Mili, 687 Ebon, 688 Ponape, 689 Kusaie Island, 692 Nauru Island, 693 Makin, 694 Tarawa, 695 Abemama re-assigned to 4th Fleet. Wake Island was assigned to Combined Fleet. BASE 847 Wake Island re-assigned to 4th Fleet. Base Types ---------- Some bases were incorrectly configured as AF when they are coastal or as BASE when they are inland. BASE 386 Soochow changed from BASE to AF BASE 231 Kyoto changed from AF to BASE BASE 238 Taiden changed from AF to BASE BASE 246 Anshan changed from AF to BASE Base Sizes ---------- Many bases have had no development from their Dec 7 1941 starting size. These have been given small increases in one or more of their Port, Airfield or Forts levels. The changes are somewhat arbitrary but I have tried to take the number of engineering units at the base into account as well as what I would have built as Japanese commander. On the other hand Kagoshima, Nagasaki, Nagoya, Sendai & Aomori are all built to a size which could not have been achived in the time frame. They have all been reduced. Some out-lying bases have also been reduced in size to come more into line with those in the full CHS campaign.
