RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
Western Japan - January 4, 1945
Troops performed a surprise amphibious invasion of Kochi. There is a heavy artillery unit in the hex that is not going to survive the direct attack of 700 AV of infantry and armor.
Thank god NJP wasnt prepared for it because looking around I count over 1500 fighter aircraft and 500 bombers in the major cities. My conclusion is if I try to stay and tough it out for day 2, there will likely be no force left for day 3. So I am going to withdraw all my ships to Yakashima and when I capture the base I can put in some LBA CAP to protect the rest of the landing.
I did an artillery probe into Nagasaki and got spanked! Lost nearly 1000 troops to counter battery fire. He has 1 decent division in the hex plus a couple fortresses, etc. Going to load the hex up with about 4000 AV of force and simply direct attack. In the meantime, most of my mitchell's will hit from overhead for a few days.
Going back and forth on whether an amphibious assault on tsushima is warranted. Airdrops are causing shock attacks that are very counter productive. Clearing Tsushima gives me an open corridor around the north side of Japan which could be useful for landing more troops on the north side of the island. However, Kochi falling next turn will allow a slower advance from the south side. Taking out Tsushima is negligable as it is something like 100VP right now plus 7K troops.
I am not in a hurry to end this game because the other one is going to be 6 months of beatings. However, I dont want to drag this one out either. I am going to take the northern carrier group plus battleships plus plus plus and move them down to Oki-Shoto where I will load the troops there and do an amphibious assault on Tottori.
He has hurt me at Oki-Shoto a number of times and will look to do it again but I will be bolstering the AVS on the island and putting army planes on CAP. That plus the carriers should be a nice trap and/or deterrent to going after the amphibious forces as they are loading. He will have 0 intel and 0 indication of where they are going after Oki so he will not be able to defend the beach. If this is successful then he has to defend open terrain in bases that likely have no forts or light forts. I will be able to cut off western Japan and then hopefully take out his armies there in a vice movement with the troops on Kyushu.

RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
Aikido - Keep your enemy off balance...
When an opponent is attempting to strike you the focus of their power, body weight and inertia should be at the point of the strike for it to be most effective. If he does not come into contact with you there is an opportunity to exploit all of that force and inertia by giving it a push or pull. You dont fight it, you go with it. Alternatively the direction and interia of the force can be exploited by attacking the balance. When someone is striking generally they are weak to the sides of the strike balance wise. As they are extending the strike you hit them from the side.
Why am I boring you with this? Because again, the game is like the art. When I landed on Kurume I was able to do it almost unopposed because NJP was unaware I could reach it. My next move was a stumble but put an armor regiment (alone) in the crucial crossroads east of Kurume.
NJP lined up and took his punch by moving assets from multiple locations to the hex and hitting me with 1300+ AV including a very nasty tank division. Those troops have mostly moved north to Fukuoka and added to the already considerable pile of troops there.
Thinking strategically this means he has between 2000 & 4000 AV ready to bring at me at Fukuoka and that critical rough hex which he can focus all of his naval, air and ground on. His axis of defense would revolve around the city and this hex. Now, I could fight him strength for strength in a 2* hex he has prepared with fortifications. It would take me around 2 weeks to bring maybe 8000 AV against him in this one spot. But why would I want to do that?
If you have a good opponent you must understand the map in front of you. Look at the terrain and understand where he must defend and where he will not likely defend. Where the bottlenecks are, where the vital areas are, etc. Once you understand the map, figure out a way to throw your enemy off balance by putting force where he does not expect it. Force him to attack and/or move rather than having to do it yourself.
Sun Tsu wrote that the best victory was one that had been accomplished before the troops reached the battlefield. Many battles he won simply because the defenders surrendered due to his reputation. However, many of the other tactics used fog of war and the essence of Aikido in war by being where your opponent does not expect.
I knew Kochi was lightly defended by a cursory sweep of recon previously. I know that NJP doesnt move stuff around much and does not protect things that have little to no value economically. And I know that since I have invaded western Japan it is very likely that the reserves he has chosen to defend that assault have been dispatched. My guess is that what is left in central and eastern Japan are garrison troops to defend the vital cities and possibly a small reserve.
In addition to all of this Kochi is a wooded hex so air attacks are going to be diminished. Which makes it a great amphibious assault target.
So, knowing his front line is based around Fukuoka and surrounding area he now has a problem. A force where one was not expected. NJP now has to decide whether to keep his forces in place or divide them to meet the new threat. The other side of the coin is being flexible yourself. I dont care whether he stands in place or divides his forces, either one is fine with me and I will adapt my tactics to suit his movements. There is no objective I have to have. It is simply cost/benefit on which hexes I assault and which I isolate.
NJP is playing a good game. Right now he is outnumbered and running out of solutions. If the tables were turned I am not sure what I would do to extend it. If he wanted to meet me he could send all his forces to Kurume and I would have to respond but that would put him out in the open against my bombers and superior equipment and troops plus I have armor. If he goes after the troops at Kochi then it is 700 AV in wooded rough. (this is probably the better alternative although it would not have much success). Theoretically he would do this to protect the resources produced at Matsuyama or to prevent having to defend in the open terrain west of Osaka. Also, he can prevent me from getting reinforcements into this hex until I get LBA up and probably considerably after that if he chose to do so. He could also counter attack at Kuanamoto and force me to return to that city as I only have a division guarding it. That actually would be the best delaying tactic he could do but it could cost him troops as again, they have to come into the open to threaten the base.
My guess is that he accepts the troop movements and turtles up in the heavy urban area and waits for me. On the western side I have no idea whether he sends troops from Fukuoka.
On the eastern side the carriers were in bad shape for some reason, not ready to tackle Japan. So I am spending a few days sorting things out and getting AVS moved to Wakanai for LBA CAP coverage of the base and approaches. Once I have things relatively in good order I plan on sailing down and assaulting tottori and also probably Nagano for kicks and grins. Probably going to get my teeth kicked in at Nagao but it will be one of those pucker moments for him :]
The purpose of this is to try to convey to you that there is an art underneath the game. The art of misdirection, fog of war, and using your opponents force against him. Even the best opponent can be taken advantage of when distracted or led to believe one thing while another is happening. What separates this game from others IMO is the quality of interaction between players due to the excellent gaming mechanics. What makes it fun is pulling a fast one on your opponent ;]

If I didnt know better I would say NJP was reading my AAR... He is moving forces towards both Kurume and Kumamoto.

Perhaps you should look at a mainland landing?
Where would you suggest?

Tokyo?
I'm kidding of course.....but if he's focused on your current area of control, hit him where you would imagine he'd not expecting.

RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
January 5, 1945
Forces begin to converge upon Kurume and Kumamoto. I know that NJP has at least 1300 AV up north and lots of troops to the south.
This has thrown a monkey wrench into my temporary plans. I have stopped moving 2000 AV from Kurume to Nagasaki. I have also diverted 600 AV down to Kumamoto. That will give me around 1000 AV at Kumamoto and 2000 AV at Kurume.
NJP had me dead to rights on 2 attacks last turn and his battleship and 2 heavy cruisers could have scored some serious damage but fortunately storms and my radar prevented it from happening. I am sure he is very frustrated right now. In addition a FM-2 squadron of 18 planes killed 21 planes on LRCAP to trap any torpedo bombers that would hit his troops of which there were none.
I am going to swing the 2 transport groups up onto Kumamoto and add their remaining AV to that stack. In addition I have other forces on the way and most of the troops that won the battle in Hong Kong on strat move to Shanghai. it seemed simpler than sending all those boats down there to pick them up.
The crazy aggressive part of my plan is to try to take out Nagasaki this turn by shock attack, bombardment and air attack. I want to give it a shot before I have to move all my armor back to defend Kurume. I should have enough time even if he gets in an attack or two before the armor gets back. Unless he has something ridiculous like 8K I should be able to stand up to his troops.
He has 950 AV At Nagasaki and whatever forts he has built plus 2 fortresses. He does not have much armor and only 1 division plus lots of battalions and Brigades and such. I am hoping that about 1600 AV of troops with lots of armor hitting an open hex after all that disruption might do the trick. Fingers crossed.
If he does actually move troops into either Kurume or Kumamoto he is going to pay a heavy price in air attacks and bombardments. We shall see. Exciting till the end!!

Caught off guard by sudden troop movements toward the allied landing beaches and surrounded on all sides the Allies make a desperate play for Nagasaki. If we can capture the city then there would be one less enemy at our backs.
The bombardment fleets go in against the fortress!!

The skies above Nagasaki are blanketed with fighters seeking out any Japanese interference. When none is found the bombers start their runs unmolested...

Severely dazed and disabled and unable to find shelter from the oncoming armor units the 44th Division at Nagasaki has no option but to yield the city to the invaders.

The victory at Nagasaki has stunned the Japanese apparently. All enemy forces moving toward Kurume and Kumamoto have stopped. Allied armor is moving from Nagasaki back to Kurume. Most divisions will follow.
I have 2 divisions moving to Kumamoto to reinforce the division I have in place. When they arrive tomorrow the 3 divisions will move southwest to secure the right flank of the invasion. They should be able to withstand more than he can bear since they will be in heavy rough.
Bombers will pound Tsushima today and attempt to make progress on taking over that island and clearing a route across northern Japan.
My initial plan for the rest of the invasion is to have the troops form up at Kurume and have the divisions move northeast into Fukuoka while the armor moves east into the rough hex to take on any troops there and then proceeds northeast to Shimonoseki or joins the divisions in Fukuoka depending upon the situation.
Meanwhile 500+ AV of troops that captured Kochi will move Northeast to threaten Takamatsu.
The northern allied fleet including the battleships, carriers and all the bells and whistles should arrive at Oki-Shoto in 3 days. I am guessing 1-2 days to load troops and 1 day to tottori. So, I should have that invasion on the beaches within a week.

RE: What could possibly go wrong? Wargamr(A) vs njp72(J)
January 9, 1945
Forces will move into Fukuoka and the Rough hex to the east next turn. Amphibious ships begin loading at Oki-Shoto. Bombardment begins at Kagoshima so we can see what we are dealing with. Air attacks on Tsushima were initally not good with very little casualties and/or disablement. Right now if I want to take the place down quickly I am looking at dropping a couple divisions there which could happen within the next week or so.
On the 8th he took an initial bombardment from 5 fleets at Fukuoka and the first few were promising although the last were less so and for some reason the spotters didnt fly over these areas even though they were tasked to.
His battleship force moved to Oita either to escape my carriers at Oki-Shoto or to prepare for an attack somewhere this coming turn.
I am moving a battleship group along with my CVE's and CVL's and a bunch of surface groups through the Fukuoka hex to Oki-Shoto to bring more CAP to the planned invasion.
Just cleared 100K on points.

On the 8th he took an initial bombardment from 5 fleets at Fukuoka and the first few were promising although the last were less so and for some reason the spotters didnt fly over these areas even though they were tasked to.
His battleship force moved to Oita either to escape my carriers at Oki-Shoto or to prepare for an attack somewhere this coming turn.
I am moving a battleship group along with my CVE's and CVL's and a bunch of surface groups through the Fukuoka hex to Oki-Shoto to bring more CAP to the planned invasion.
Just cleared 100K on points.
