January 10, 1945

Some days it is good to be the allies. That is most days after 1942...

The Japanese throw all of their bombers into an assault on the Allied forces that have entered Fukuoka. Due to a few heavy flak units and the terrain their contribution is less than impressive.

A japanese direct attack follows which causes over 10,000 Japanese deaths with at least 25% of his 1100+ tank army disabled. I dont think he will try it again as the allied casualties were less than 1500.

The invasion of Tottori went in unopposed and the base will convert next turn to allied. Takamatsu will also be attacked by an allied tank army.

I am moving all of my carriers and some transports northeast of Oki-Shoto within range of Nagano. If this hex is lightly defended or undefended I will do another amphibious assault with a division and 2 units of combat engineers prepped for this location. This will just add another wrinkle into the japanese defense plan.

The main tank army is attempting to cross the river into Shiminoseki. This will take 3 more days to accomplish and I am worried about air attacks. I covered this hex with LRCAP last turn and may continue. Although now NJP has multiple immediate threats to contend with so I expect one of them to get pounded and the rest to be left alone for a bit.

Both Nagasaki and Kumamoto went to lvl 7 airfields last turn and they are moving up quickly. Nagasaki has the equivalent of 1100 engineers working on the airfield. One thing I noticed is that NJP only has 3 lvl 9 or larger airfields. It is going to start getting tight down there quickly.

Score wise I am at .788% to a 2-1 victory. Technically I think NJP is about half way between screwed and fucked.

I would not equate your strategy with aikido as per your early posting. Rather I would propose this is a strategy
akin to the Union late in the Civil War. You have more stuff and can out attrite the IJ toward victory. Brute force
as its best.

The denominator is going to take a quick rise if NJP can pull off a tactical victory somewhere, but it only postpones
the inevitable.

There were some potential disasters recently, but radar and bad weather saved the day.

He does remind me of Grant...relentless forward pressure.

January 16, 1945

NJP's attacks focused on Okyama last turn and kept the disruption high among the units there. I have at least 12 divisions loading at 3 locations for delivery to Japan. My targets will be Nagano, Tottori and/or Tokuyama for the main delivery sites. Paratroops will go in at Fukyuyama as it appears to be unoccupied.

In 4 days Kumamoto airfield will go to level 9. Within one week of that happening I will have every bomber available on the map at that location bombing Japan. It should be able to overwhelm his defenses where ever I choose.

At this point he may last through February but March is really doubtful. The point score is 56750 to 105232 = 85%

January 23, 1945

All Japanese forces that were counter attacking are now retreating or have retreated into Kobe and/or Osaka. The push is on to get Aviation support and engineers into Hiroshima to get the base operational.

Having a problem finding any working mine sweepers left. Getting 7 more killed last turn didnt help.

Score January 23, 1945

To win the game today I would need 3776 victory points. If I successfully take the 3 bases I am attacking tomorrow that would result in a base gain of 1700 VP's.
