Screw it, we are goin in....

Amphibious assault on Bihoro this coming turn!!!

Stay tuned stay tuners!

The turn is gone the deed is done the reply will come within a short time.

My opponent surmised I might wait to rebuild some CV support.

I replied that I have an unsinkable carrier right off his coast, the USS Kunashiri.

Sure, I could have sat back and bombed him for a few months and been much better off but that isnt exactly my specialty...

Sounds like the "game-is-almost-over-so what-the-hell-I'm-all-in" strategy![:D]
Astounding to see all this action, and both sides getting their licks in.

Like I told NJP. I could have sat back and bombed him for a few months and been a lot better off but what the hell :] We are starting our 2nd game so I am trying to accelerate things although who knows, I might just step in it big here.

5 divisions plus 2 armor regiments plus 4 anti-tank units plus FLAME TANKS!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!! Plus plus plus. My cap and LRCap is pretty light but I can do LRCAP from 2 hexes so the attrition should not be horrible. If this doesnt work and my troops are left stuck on the beaches it could be a disaster.

These are just the east coast troops and have nothing to do with the preparation for landing on the west coast beaches. I am getting a force put together to sack canton and then maybe take out Hong Kong as well and would like to take down Shanghai before that set of invasions. Also, I need to get the current transports over to that area.

November 13, 1944

Over 2300 AV landed on the beaches on D-Day. The carriers are going to rush in and defend at 0 hexes. If they take a beating then so be it as long as the attack succeeds. If the troops get hung up on the beaches then I could be in real trouble. However, he has less than 30K troops with 1 Division (the 77th) and about 9 other units against most of 5 divisions and lots of armor.

Even if he has 700AV which I seriously doubt it is a clear hex so the forts will be his only other benefit.

On a side note, the remaining surface fleet of Japan along with his carriers showed up about 10 hexes west of Shanghai in an attack posture. I am not sure what he is going for but there are 2 badly damaged ships in Wenchow that he would like to finish off. Moved over 100 fighters for CAP.

We will know within hours....

Here is the combat for the 13th.
