Those Shindens do amazingly well vs Corsairs...interesting.

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 1:57 pm

Aye Shindens do well.
 
Its cat and mouse around Okinawa I am sending light surface TF's in to raid his transports as he has hundreds of single ship TF's in port (its a real pain)
 
Its cost me a few DD's and my heavy ships went into bombard last night and ran into an IJN cruiser TF as mine was sent to bombard and the DD sqns lost to the IJN TF it was a miserable affair for the allies.
 
I have been avoiding using PT Boats for a while a. because limited places to use them without huge journeys.
b. because it pissed PZB off.
 
I am changing this around now given the sheer number of 1 ship TF's and Barges around PT boats based at Isheak are going to make a reappearance to raid Okinawa waters.

Ishiak is now open and 2 Sqns move in I need it to be lvl 2 for offensive operations.

I am undecided about next moves.

Okinawa Grind is the obvious way but it would wreck my Divs again

OK guys time to plan my options

Forces are recovering from the invasion of the Philippines rapidly and whent eh newly arriveing forces are ready it will be time to hit home the final time.

The question is where to strike.....

As you can see I am considering four possible plans.

A Grind along Okinawa tot he HI.
B The South where he cannot reinforce by road
C The North a twin assault 1 Army lands at Sasebo to cut off reinforcements while 3 Armies land on Nagasaki.

In terms of strength I am still short of heavy units and the ones I have are damaged still less than 40 cruisers (23 of them 8" or better) 10 BB's

I have 4 Armies

1st, 6th, 8th and 10th US Armies, 11 Corps and 4 USMC Divs, 30 Inf Divs and 2 Armoured Divs with plentifull Arty and Armour to support.

(plus 1 Corps of 3 Divs on Iwo but they are tying down a large number of Japanese forces)

All of the three plans are viable I think I just need to pick one. Based on past performance A will probably work but it will take and wreck most of my LCU's for a few months so it will be slow.

B looks good but doesnt get me much as I would need to reinvade later as well but it IS open terrain

C hmmmm C looks really tempting....

no matter where you will land, I fear you will soon be stuck. [8|] All that a landing in Japan will do is to cause you real headache. Surely level 9 forts everywhere and thousands of assault points that can be moved around. Even if you take Nagasaki, I guess you won´t be able to break out. Though you would have a level 9 airfield on Japan then.

I agree. I did launch an operation Olympic vs Erstad and it is going to be tough. In few months I just managed to capture Kagoshima! PzB can bring in reinforcements quickly and one thing going againts you is the fact that he still has fighting airforce. (Erstad didn't)

If I would go on launching another Olympic than I would do 2 simultaneous huge landings somewhere at the Home Islands. That might be the only way and you do need a lot of combat troops to do so.

I think I had something like 15 Divisions, Artillery, Tanks and Supporting units with tons of supplies brought in day after day. Other thing I see going againts you is the fact that you have not secured your "flanks". Meaning that your supply TF are in constant danger from the LBA strikes.

It would be intresting to see whether you can pull off an operation Olympic though. Personally if that is the choice than I would to 2 massive simultaenous landings which are supporting each other.

Good luck.

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 7:58 pm

Thats the point as long as I can cut it off and stop reinforcements I get a major AF on the HI that will cause him nightmares....
 
Okinawa is Mountain but on the HI ONLY 3 Hexs are city

 
Now if I can get one base maybe two that causes PZB huge problems.
 
So that means I will be facing say 2,000 AV x4 for forts x 2 for terrain ...max 16,000 per hex
 
If PZB is bringing forces in from Manchuria then I will bring in Russians I have the PP's to release 4 of their mechanised Corps to assist.....
 
If he has left his forces in Manchuria then I will leave the russians there but if he hasnt.....
So about 20,000 AV for the allies its doable....

Not much to say forces are holding time is passing I am waiting for troops prep to raise and units to rest after the PI attack and for forces to arrive from the west but when they do I will strike

A few Carrier TF's are ordered to interdict off the south coast of Japan to interdict reinforcements comingt in from outer bases.

A heavy sub screen is being thrown out in the seas to the north of Japan.

I should have done this weeks ago but I was distracted.

I estimate 2 - 3 weeks before my Divs are rested enough for the final push I will have about 15,000 AV in the initial assault waves. I need to think through where I am going to hit in the next couple of days.

p.s. I will be invading the Indian mainland soon as well.

A single British Bde will be participating in the attack...

OK been doing some planning..... (its more fun than struggling with the AI) [:D][:D]
 
1st US Army has 3 Corps (11th 14th and 13th US Corps) and 2 Armoured Divsm 7 Inf Divs and and 8 Independent Ard Bns this is the mailed fist of the US Army.
 
6th US Army has 3 Corps (1st 9th and 10th US Corps) 9 Inf Divs and 5 Armoured Bns
 
8th US Army has 3 Corps (1st 3rd and 5th Amphib Corps) 4 USMC Divs, 5 Inf Divs and 4 Amphib Armoured Bns
 
10th US Army also has 3 Corps (3rd and 24th US and 1st Aus Corps) BUT 24th US Corps is on Iwo and will not be available. The remaining 2 Corps are very strong to offset this with 1 US, 6 Australian and 2 NZ Infantry Divs plus a reinforced Cavalry Division in support and 2 Ard Regts.
 
(FOr completeness 24th US Corps has 1 USMC DIv and 2 Inf Divs on Iwo)
 
Each of these forces is either resting or en route to the PI which is my springboard.
 
I think I am going with the HI route.
 
So a main invasion at Nagasaki (Objective Blue) and a blocking/exploiting invasion at the base next to it (Objective Red)
 
The plan would be that the primary assault forces would consist of
 
Objective Blue 6th and 8th US Army with all six Corps acting in the assault role supporeted by every heavy ship that can float.
 
At the same time 10th US Army will hit Objective Red.
 
This will leave 1st US Army with its mailed fist and ability to exploit as my ready reserve preferably unloaded after I secure a port to ensure maximum exploitation.
 
The alterantive is I swap around some of my Corps perhaps trading a 1st Army Infantry Corps to retain an Amphib Corps in my ready reserve.
 
I need to think a little more on this one

 ...good luck! It is going to one hell of an challenge to hit HI!
 
As said I did and found it very tough going! Glad to see that you are going to do 2 separate landings. That ought to help you out a bit.

Keeping the PI supplied is a constant challenge sending more and more AKs back tot he West Coast and TK's becoming a real issue

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 3:13 pm

Not a lot to say about today more of the same - apparently B29's have been performing naval search - oops not supposed to be all naval attack by 29's is banned - I have to many mixed AF's my mistake.

Major convoys are en route at present and preparations levels for the forces are rising I need to wait for the next tranche of major convoys to arrive as they have my floating reserve Corps on board so I estimate 3 - 4 weeks before I will be ready to attack again.

I was very very tempted by the southern cut off island as that is the definite weakspot but on balance I decided to throw the dice and try to land on the HI directly.

I could have ground forward along the Okinawa chain but again thats a waste of resources.

I have the strength to go deep wityh massive force and I should use it
