RE: The Death of the IJN

Post by RUPD3658 »

The last action by the IJN cost me 2 BBs and 3 cruiser but broke the back of the surface fleet and cost Tanaka his life. Granted, most of my ships will be in dry dock until after the war ends but at least the surface threat has been eliminated.

The invasion fleet has departed for an undisclosed destination...

RE: The Death of the IJN

Post by RUPD3658 »

Iki landing went well. I thought it was an atoll and would betaken this turn but it will fall next turn.

B-29s are refusing to fly again so I am using CV AC and tac bombers to take out industrial tartgets prior to the main invasion. If I can serriosly damage the armament industry and the resources it should go a lot smoother.

I am hoping that I will be facing HDF units only. I am assuming that any non restricted HQ LCUs are at Okinawa, Iwo Jima, Takamatsu, or Salkin Island.

RE: The Death of the IJN

Post by RUPD3658 »

Final preperation for the invasion of the HI. Forces will be landing at Nagato and Kitikyushu next turn. If all goes well Nagato, which is an Atoll, will be taken quickly and serve as a road block to any forces trying to reinforce Kyushu. This will aloow me to pick of those bases one at a time. Their self generating supply has been bombed and they will be cut off from the other islands so they should strave quickly especially with over 1000 bombers supporting the ground troops.

RE: The Death of the IJN

Post by RUPD3658 »

As expected all Jap LCUs on Honshu are headed towards Hiroshima and those on Kyushu are headed to Kitikyushu. This is playing right into my plan. They will be easier to destroy once they all assemble in the same hex

Attacks are set for Matsuyama and Kitikyushu next turn.

Post by RUPD3658 »

Sasebo folded like a house of cards. I hope that Nagasaki will be as easy. Takamatsu beat off another attck but at least I lowered the forts

SeaBees are headed to the Hi to start building the bases up for the next phase of the air war. B-29s flying less than 6 hexes should do a lot more damage. I lost a few transports brining them in due to lack of available air cover however.

RE: The battle of Kyushu

Post by RUPD3658 »

Nagasaki fell and mopping up operations have begun.

Progress was made at Takamatsu.

Forces are being sent to Kagoshima to finish off Kyushu.

Massive air raids are planned against Tokyo for next turn. I am losing too many transports to allow Gordon to continue to have an air force.

Forces have been sent to deal with the annoying barge borne rear area raids
