SunDevil this was taken from another thread. This is probably why you are seeing so much destruction on Saipan.

Atoll combat was changed so that landing units go immediately into a full fledged shock attack and combat in this respect will be very quick and very bloody. (with great potential for disaster unless the player on the offensive plans carefully and coordinates his landings)

Go to this thread for the whole dissuasion.

Thanks for the post W Thorne, but Saipan is not listed as an atoll in the scenario, so its not that. The most damage I am seeing are the bombardments made by my TF's and with my landing vehicles when they drop off troops, they get hammered by all the CD's. Thanks also for the forum post, I made an appearance in that thread too.

I was able to take Saipan eventually by Mid July. I kept sending bombardment TF, B-29's and then additional troops. The japs were still on the island but I was in control of the base.

to counter CD guns, you have to include medium and heavy ships within the amphibious assault TF.

If they are in bombardment TF's they will not be able to protect the transports and LCI's from the CD guns. (unless you bombard them for weeks till they are disabled)

Yea,

I was being stupid, I have played the tutorial about 20 times now, it really helps to play this scenario mulitple times, I have easily captured Saipan, and really putting the hurt on the Japanese. Thanks for everyones help.

Good to hear... play on!

...so how d'ya do it, SunDevil?

I'm 2 days into the landings, which seem to be going ok, but I've got no idea what the supply situation is, and lots of my ships appear to have left TFs of their own accord and are heading home!

Appreciate any help.
