This is my AAR against the recommended AI in Saipan. Please be forewarned that I am not a very good player, and that I welcome any input and advice on what I could have done better.
This is my second go, after I played 8 turns, and more or less made very stupid mistakes while learning the system (for example, I didn't entrench my arty units and lost them easily to counter battery fire).
So, playing as the US, my plan is to first concentrate on combining the two landing zones into one, then clearing out the south of the island and sweeping northwards, with 4th division on the east and 2nd on the west.
Anyway, without further ado, here we go.
Turn 1, bombarded their fortifications as much as I could and landed my forces. Managed to land them all without needing to roll for losses and proceeded with setting my infantry 4 steps in a perimeter and everyone else in the middle. Looking at my forces tells me that I will be able to attack once every three turns as long as they are in supply, so I will try to make them as effective as possible. My plan is to attack the middle part between my beach heads and nothing else, except for spoiling attacks on the perimeters, and to use my lavish air support and arty.
