Mike Carroll - Allies
Terminus - Japanese

This is a beta test of the Great Pacific War scenario.

The Great Pacific War
31 May 1926 to 31 Dec 1930

Unlike most countries Japan comes out of the Great War with very little loss and gaining significantly in territory and treasure. Between the Great War and the Russo-Japanese War the military has gained in ascendancy and there is a significant push to expand Japan’s status as a Great Power.

Japan aggressively expands its interests in Manchuria and forms a close alliance with Chinese warlord Tsung-jen Li. By 1920 Manchuria is a virtual client state of the Japanese Empire. Japan has troops stationed at major strategic spots and they are providing weapons and training to their client Chinese troops. Raw materials and food are flowing to Japan.

Alarmed at Japan’s open aggression in China and rapid expansion of military power, the US attempts to find a warlord in China to support. They also want to limit world-wide naval expansion and work to get the Washington Naval Talks underway. Through deft political maneuvering they get the British, French, Italian, and Japanese to agree to meet in Washington to discuss imposing limits on warship production. Things seem to be going well when disaster strikes. The Japanese Intelligence Service learns that the US has broken their diplomatic codes and is using the information from the intercepts to gain an advantage at the talks. Outraged Japan leaves the talks and the Washington Naval Conference ends in a shambles with the US disgraced and a significant rift between the US and Japan.

In China the presence and actions of Japan in Manchuria, starts a limited unification movement under Chiang Kai-Chek. Chiang Kai-Chek captures Peking in 1923 and begins the process of unifying the outlying provinces. The US is covertly providing support and help.

In 1924 the Anglo-Japanese Neutrality Pact is reached. This allows the British to deactivate a portion of their fleet as a cost saving measure and focus on the growing unrest in their own colonies. The French and Dutch are also having problems with their colonial populations and conclude Non-Aggression Pacts with the Japanese that same year.

In 1925 Japan begins to plan for a war with the US. Their economic, political, and military status as a Great Power is tied to their control of Manchuria. The rising unification movement in China is a direct threat to their future. They know the US is supporting Chiang Kai-Chek and would oppose any open movements in China proper. The Japanese believe that if they can capture Guam and the Philippines they will have deprived the US of any bases to strike into their territory, which will allow them to deal with the situation in China at their leisure. Through diplomacy they have neutralized the British, French and Dutch so it comes down to a naval war with the US. A war they believe they can win.

Since the Washington Naval Conference ended in a shambles, the presidency of Warren Harding was beset by scandal. Warren Harding died of a heart attack in 1923, but his successor Calvin Coolidge was easily defeated in 1924 by Democratic Governor James Cox. The Coolidge administration had been trying to strengthen the US military and expand the bases at Guam and the Philippines. But congress was in no mood to support the disgraced administration and the people of the US flush in an economic boom began to look inward. President Cox’s primary diplomatic agenda was to try to join the League of Nations and repair the breach with Japan. Not wanting to further enrage the Japanese he drastically cut back on base expansion in the Philippines and Guam as well as the support being given to Chiang Kai-Chek. Unfortunately the Japanese had already decided on war.

In May 1926 the Japanese formally declared war on the United States.

List of scenario features:

1) Added Commerce Bases in the Indian Ocean and in the lower right part of the map (down by the credits). These bases have a small amount of daily supply and fuel and only Japanese transports can move within 3 hexes of the base.

2) Added 4 transports and 1 small tanker to each of the above commerce bases. I also brought back roughly 20 transports and tankers that were not being used as reinforcements.

3) Brought back all US destroyers (except those sunk in 1923) as reinforcements. This gives the US some 290 Destroyers over the course of the game. Roughly half in the starting OOB and the other half coming as reinforcements. I believe this number is low, but a better situation than the standard game so I am going to leave it as it is. I upgraded a handful (10 or so to better classes)

4) I added 60 Destroyers to the Japanese reinforcements. 20 No. 35 class, 30 No. 19 class and 10 No. 1 class. I am sorry but I just gave them numbers, I do not have the time to name them all:-)

5) I created a Japanese patrol/sub-chaser based on the W5 Minesweeper. I added 20 to the starting OOB and added another 40 as reinforcements. These are named WSC 1 etc.

6) I brought 10 sub-chasers to the US starting OOB and added 20 to the Reinforcement schedule.

7) I brought 15 Eagle Patrol craft to the US starting OOB and added 40 to the Reinforcement schedule.

8) I added 15 minesweepers to the OOB as reinforcements for both the Japanese and the US.

9) Added 5 AO to the Japanese Reinforcement schedule, added 7 AO to the US reinforcement schedule.

10) Added 3 AV to the Japanese Reinforcement schedule, added 4 AV to the US reinforcement schedule.

11) Okha-Sakalin is moved back to Japanese control. The Japs had occuppied Okha in 1920 and gave it back to the Soviet Union in 1925. I am postulating that in the growing crisis with the US the Japs would have kept this vital oil resource area. I added a Jap Brigade and Base force to Okha and increased the port size to 3.

12) I reinforced the Base forces at Guam, Pago-Pago, Canton and Midway. Some got 8" or 12" CD guns and some increased Marine Squads.

13) I added "garrison" Marine Rgts to Guam, Pago-Pago and Midway. They will be fixed in place.

14) Changed USMC units to Nine Corps Hawaii.

15) Added Manchurian Warlord Army - this is a Japanese Ally. He gets 5 divisions and 2 cavalry divisions, 1 base force and 1 FA Arty Rgt. These are all based on Japanese OOB without the combat engineers. Instead of Japanese squads, they use Manchurian Squads which have similar numbers to the Chinese squads. The Manchurian Army receives the following reinforcements:

2 divisions
1 cavalry division

16) There should be a total of 6 Corps, 4 Divisions, and 1 Cav Corps in the the Republic of China Army (units are designated ROC). These units do not have warlords so are mobile.
In addition the ROC receive the following reinforcements.

1927 - 3 Corps
1928 - 3 Corps and 4 Divisions
1929 - 7 Corps, 1 Division, 1 Cav Corps

If the game lasts until 1929 then the Republic of China should be able to at least tie down a significant number of Jap forces, threatening the supply and fuel in Manchuria and Korea.

17) Added 1500 daily supply at Peking. Japan could potentially strike here in 1927 and capture Peking. Without this supply it might be harder for China to attack later in the game.

I know alot of people say this is a naval game, so they could always take the scenario and just not use the Chinese, leave the Manchurian units in Manchuria and agree to a minimum garrison requirement for Korea. I will propose that as some honor rules that go with the scenario.

18) I moved approximately 35% of the daily supply in Japan to Manchuria and Korea, plus added about 1,000 supply per day. 50% of the daily fuel got moved to Sahkalin Island and Manchuria and Korea.

19) Added the Nagasaki class sub cruiser and the minelayer variant. They both start in Saesebo. Nagasaki and Saesebo are the names. The Saesebo can lay 376 mines. This does not do the 2500 in the book. I just thought that would unbalance the game too much..

20) I added reinforced Jap base forces to the Bonin Group, Iwo Jima and a couple of islands in the Carolina and Marshal Islands. I also reinforced several existing base forces. Iwo Jima is now a decent sized base.

21) I added 5 Patrol air groups, 2 torpedo bomber air groups, and 2 fighter air groups to the Jap OOB in the Caroline, Marshal and Bonin Islands.

22) I added 2 Hosho class carriers with air groups to the Jap reinforcements

23) I added 2 Langley class carriers to the US plus a new carrier the "Gettysburg" which is basically a fast Langley with a different type of air group. These all come in as reinforcements.

24) I have gone through and changed arrival bases of the British and Dutch ships set to arrive in US ports.

25) I have gone through and placed US cargo vessels that start in British, Commonwealth, Australian, and French ports into the Reinforcement schedule. They will arrive in the US somewhere between 1 week to 3 months later.

26) Because of issues with the Manchurian Garrison Requirement the Soviets will begin the game as active. They will start the game with 3 transports. There will be an honor rule to govern their activation as a belligerent.

27) I added some obsolete US cruisers to the OOB, 2 fast “Pensacola” class cruisers as late game reinforcements, and 4 Omaha CL’s as reinforcements.

We are going to be trying out all the honor rules as well.

Mandatory Rules:

1) Japanese Commerce Bases: Japan has two bases on the map that represent their commerce with the rest of the world. The following rules apply to these bases. These bases are located in hexes (4,4) and (126,135)

a. Only Japanese cargo vessels may enter the base or move within 3 hexes of the base.

b. The Allied player may not move any vessels within 3 hexes of the base.

c. No Japanese ground forces may be landed in these bases.

2) Manchurian Army: This force represents the forces of an allied Chinese Warlord. These formations may only operate in Manchuria, China, Korea and the Soviet Union.

3) Soviet Activation: Because the Soviet Activation limit is hard-coded at 500, the Soviets start the game activated. They are not happy with Japan over North Sahkalin Island and the railroad in Manchuria. The following rules govern the Soviet Union. It is highly unlikely that the Soviets will come into the war early in the game but possible

a. The Soviet Union starts the game as a neutral country.

b. The Soviets will become active if at any time there are fewer than 7 Manchurian and/or Japanese divisions or equivalent (3 regiments = 1 division) in Manchuria and Korea. At least 2 of these divisions must be Japanese. The Japanese player should confirm this at the beginning of every month.

c. The Soviets will become active if the Japanese attack the Soviet Union.

d. If the Chinese capture one of the following cities Mukden, Fushan, Harbin, or Port Arthur the Soviets will become active unless Okha has been returned to them.

e. The Soviets will become active as a power in June 1929, unless the Japanese have given Okha back to the Soviet Union. (This is accomplished by allowing Soviet troops to occupy Okha prior to June 1929. There are 3 Soviet APs in Vladivostoc that may only be used to move Soviet troops to Okha.)

f. The US player may freely move Soviet troops between their bases and expand their bases.

4) The British Empire (British, Commonwealth, Australia, New Zealand and Canada) and the Dutch are neutral unless attacked. All ships should remain in port.

5) Sub Minelayers: The Nagasaki ML variant Saesebo has the potential to unbalance the game. Sub Minelayers are not allowed to lay minefields in port hexes that are size 3 or larger. They are able to do it in hexes with ports 0,1,2 and any shallow water or deep water hex.

Optional Rules:

1) Atoll Stacking Limits: These would apply to all Atolls except for Truk and Palau.

a. Defensive stacking limits.

1 regiment of infantry
2 artillery or coastal defense units
1 AA Unit
1 tank unit
2 engineer units
1 HQ unit
10 aircraft per level of airfield. - Excluding float planes supported by a tender
MAX Fortifications = airfield SBS + port SBS. For example Wotje is port 1 (1) and airfield 0 (1). The max fortifications would be 1+1 = 2. Note some Atolls will start with larger fortifications – these should not be expanded.

b. Offensive (Attack) stacking limits

5 Regiments (Division = 3 Regiments, Brigade = 2 Regiments.)
4 artillery units
3 tank units
1 AA unit
4 Engineer units
2 HQ units

If an atoll is attacked and taken then the new owner should attempt to get to the defensive stacking limit within 1 month.

2) Major Fleet Ports: The game allows you to refuel and resupply major fleet units at very small ports using AD Tenders. AD tenders should not be used to refuel or resupply Battleships and Dreadnaughts at ports that are smaller than size 3. A simple way to enact this is not to send AD tenders to ports smaller than size 3, unless you intend to use them solely for cruisers and destroyers.

3) US First Turn: The US is only allowed to form TF but they may not put to sea.

4) British Empire and Dutch Base Expansion: The US player should stop expansion of all these bases. This generates cheap victory points so on the first turn, turn off expansion at all these bases.

Well a number of bugs were inserted in the scenario so after 3 restarts we are going.

Mike Carroll · Post by **Mike Carroll** » Fri Mar 17, 2006 8:33 pm

War sweeps across the Pacific. There was no combat today, but it can not be long in coming. The US fleet sorties. Transports are being loaded.

Mike Carroll · Post by **Mike Carroll** » Fri Mar 17, 2006 10:03 pm

The Huron TF intercepts a Jap Invasion TF at night. They sink a destoyer but the transports disperse. Then they respond to the landings at Lingayan. But a Jap cruiser squadron screens the invasion TF from the Huron. A series of night battles results in just some long-range fire (20,000+ yards) and the US definitely gets the worst of that exchange.

Well he continues to lose ships at Guam. I am going to set a higher disabled percentage on the garrison there. But certainly an invasion of Guam is going to need a suppression of the CD guns there. That is what I wanted, might be slightly too much however.

Well several more ships sank this turn as a result of the improved CD battery at Guam. The problem is that Guam has rapidly expended all its supplies and everybody is glowing red[:D]

I have been looking at supply distribution in Korea and Manchuria. I think I am going move more of it to the ports so that the Japanese player may choose to load it on ships. Alot of the inland supply tends to stay there. That will mean more of the supply generation will be in Korea than Manchuria but that is ok. The main intent was to create a need for Japan to transport supply from Manchuria/Korea. I think I will have to do a version of the scenario with the production turned on, but I will wait until we have washed out all the kinks. Wish you could order a base to send supply or fuel to another base.

Well the Japanese lost at least another 3 ships sunk at Guam. So far they have lost 13 of the 17 ships sunk on the defenses around Guam. I have set the disabled to 25% to tone it down. The supply situation on Guam is grim, I wanted it to be a short sharp fight. In future the Japanese may want to deploy some elements of the battleline to suppress the CD guns here. But be careful there are 4 12" CD guns[:D]

Well the Guam CD guns are still in action. But the supply situation is becoming dire.

There may be an interesting battle at Davao this turn. Some US cruisers and destroyers will be entering the harbor. I am hoping they can wreak havoc amongst the tranports. I am hoping the escort ships have expended alot of ammunition and have been somewhat damaged. But next turn will tell[:D]

We have made some changes to the scenario:

1. Moved 50% of the inland supply to the ports in Manchuria and Korea.
2. Increase the fuel at Takao from 10,000 to 60,000.
3. Moved a Battlecruiser Division + escorts from Osaka to Pescadores
4. Put the garrisons at Midway, Guam and Pago-Pago at 25% disabled.

Well the USS Huron is in rough shape. Guam continues to be in rough shape as well, but ships continue to sink in the area. It will be called Ironbottom Sound.[:D]

The Japanese have established absolute sea control off Norhern Luzon and I do not feel it is worth while to through my cruisers away against them. I was hoping to inflict heavy damage on the very large transport TF at Davao, but did not do as well as I wanted and the Huron is heavily damaged.

Well the Chinese are going to attack Aparri this turn or next. I am hoping they can do something before being wiped out. My scouts indicate the presence of cruisers and battleships near Davao. My forces are going to probably withdraw. I have hopes of saving the Huron. Of course I may still have to scuttle, if they really are cruisers and battleships.

Guam is completely out of supply. The Base Force is out of supply. The Marine Rgt has a couple of hundred supply. The end can not be far off.

Some ROC divisions will make some probes into Manchuria.

Well the Chinese attack some lightly escorted cargo ships and at least get some licks in before they will be destroyed. It looks like a cruiser squadron is moving north. To deal with the Chinese?

I tried to break out the AD Blackhawk from Manila this turn, thinking his blockading force had moved. Obviously it had not. I should have moved it much sooner and hidden it somewhere in a Chinese port. Now I have no capability to resupply torps on my destroyers in this theatre.

Well my night destroyer attack did not do so well. I was hoping to score a torp hit on cruiser or battleship. Oh well. I had to scuttle two of the destroyers this turn as well. Well the defense of the West Pacific is now in the hands of the subs.

I think I have spotted the Nagasaki near Shang Hai. I am wondering if his minelayer has laid a small surprise near Shang-Hai as well.
