44-11-25: Allies have a major landing in progress at Legaspi (not shown) on southern tip of Luzon.

Thanks for the always entertaining AAR. Regarding the Lost Brigade tank battalions, I'd swap in new leaders with high Land and Admin ratings (60+ for each if possible).

Cheers,
CB


thx for the advice. When the lost brigade moves into recovery, they probably will not be able to return to combat ...

You got it. check up post.

Akita was chosen for assault because:
1. Clear hex

2. High stack ability

3. Easy move east adjacent to Hachinohe.

4. Fear of IJN surface fleet showing up on the east side of Honshu. Seems less likely with a Sea of Japan coast landing.

5. Main landing at Akita was 5 divisions, 2 corp hq ...

Allies press on many fronts.
1. CW troops advance from Sabang to langsha.
2. CW w/chicom advance down Maylay Toward Singers.
3. CW w/ Chicom within three hexes of Chansha.
4. Chinese 2 hexes from Canton.
5. Chinese are past Kukong headed east.
6. Aus 1st corp land on Paney in PI.
7. Davou ...

The last battle will be called "The Gunfight on Honshu".

I cant deny the Jap Victory. I looked for reasons this TF was "OUT THERE" and cant recall why. I could not see the TF color Blue and TF41 is surely "THE LOST TF".
