RHS Test 8A 27 May 42: The Loss of HMS Formidable!

el cid again · Post by **el cid again** » Wed Apr 09, 2014 7:03 am

What is most impressive is that today the Japanese flew
more than 20 more sortees than the Allies did, but suffered
only 50% of the losses. The Japanese have learned how to
conduct efficient air operations, in spite of having planes
with significantly lower durability and in spite of code that
gives the Japanese a higher loss rate. One such technique is
to minimize the range of missions. Another is to not fly tired
aircrews. Still - it is a remarkable achievement - the more so
because they do so most of the time.

The (Allied) Great Raid

I. Missions:

(1) To disrupt the primary Japanese LOC in the Pacific region;

(2) To cause major enemy forces to leave their planned areas of
operations reacting to the raid, the Kiddo Butai in particular;

(3) To preserve the bulk of the raiding force in tact;

(4) To generate pro-Allied propaganda, in particular by the
recovery of invaded Allied territories (some momentarily, some
to keep).

II: Targets:

(1) Primary Target: Saipan (major enemy base and considered part of Japan);
[Capture, wiping out enemy forces; consume or remove as much fuel and supplies as possible;
leave First USMC Defense Battalion forcing a ground assault to recapture; forward emergency
repair base. Lay minefield upon departure using DM.]

(2) Secondary Target: Guam (former US territory; forward seaplane/flying boat base
during the land phase of the raid);
[Capture; exploit using ship based aviation support to insure local naval searches and
reconnaissance; consume or remove as much fuel and supplies as possible; leave Second USMC
Defense Battalion forcing a ground assault to recapture. Lay mines using SSM.];

(3) Tertiary Target: Truk (primary enemy forward base and threat to the flank of operation);
[Devastate with air raids on the way in, possibly causing misunderstanding of the real
primary target and the nature of the raid - that it is an air raid. Special Contingency Option:
On the way out, attempt to clear the minefield; if successful, occupy, wipe all units ashore, leave Fourth
USMC Defense Bn and remove as much fuel and supplies as possible]

Page 2, The Great Raid

(4) Fourth Target: Midway (former US territory);
[Capture during retirement to Hawaii; garrison with a defense battalion and PBY unit on a
slow task group from Hawaii];

(5) Fifth Target: Wake (former US territory);
[Capture during retirement to Hawaii; garrison with a defense battalion in due course];

[6) Sixth Target: Tinian (minor enemy base next to primary objective);
[Capture, abandon; use to create the impression of a major invasion of the area]

(7) Seventh Target: Pagan (minor enemy base next to primary objective);
[Capture, abandon; use to create the impression of a major invasion of the area]

In India, the British/Indian army completes its move into the hex
beside Benares in which the Japanese 15th Army is substantially
assembled. In Australia, the IJA continues to move toward/into
Rockhampton - with units already present too decimated by bomber
attacks to attempt its capture. The units that took Townsville
are trying to catch its retreating defenders. In China, NE of Sian,
IJA began reducing the fortifications in its drive to encircle the
city.
