NAVMAN · Post by **NAVMAN** » Sun May 16, 2010 7:47 pm

Hi All: Never done this b4, so I'm sure I'll mess it up. Wanted to give a representation
of various combat activities that I have seen in Downfall v2. These are amphib landings,
para assault, and day raids by b29s on Japan.
Can't get a combat events file to attach here, can someone pls advise on how to do this.

Thx

Andy: Thx!
This represents the initial stage of my landing at Takeo, the purpose of which was to secure the left flank from the PI to Okinawa and also to secure addl large airfields.
I tasked two(2) full corps from Sixth Army for this, the initial landing to be done
by one full corps, plus assigned Sixth Army eng assets and ind units.
Close air support provided by CVEs attached to the amphibs and lba from PI.
Bombardment group arrived w/amphips. My timing was off for the mine sweeps,
and you can see the results of that. Also note fighter sweep of Tokyo in prep for B29
daylight raid sched for next day and "minor" other actions.
Pls feel free to comment and advise.
Thx.

Prepping of Kagi begins prior to ground assault by units which captured Takeo.
Prepping of Amani Oshima begins prior to para assault. The idea is to use it as a foward fighter base to support landings on Japan with Corsairs.
Note that I have brought B17s into play.

USA is unstoppable. Although I wonder how they will fare on a homeland invasion.

Hi Jon:
The problem that I see developing is not one of combat power, but one of transport
and assault shipping.If I start transporting large nos of troops from the west coast
too soon, I will have supply issues at the front. If I wait too long to transport, I may not
have enough follow-on forces to supplement the assualt units. Logistics is key as I found
out and will show in a later aar.

Thx.

Large B29 raid on Tokyo supported by large escort.
Jap. CV Aso makes an entrance and takes minor hits.
Huge number of B25s rammed. Saw a post about this in the main thread. Think
this needs to be examined.
