This was actually an important battle – the US had half a day to land a significant number of troops, including part of the 26th Infantry Division, last turn before their fleet retreated when the IJN showed up. I had 3 APs with the 60th Naval Guard Unit 1 hex away. I knew I’d have 2 phases to land them before the next ground combat phase, so I did, knowing it was very possible I’d lose the entire unit. Having 1 of my APs torpedoed during all of this didn’t make things any easier. I imagine the Japanese marines rushing off the docks to clash with the advance elements of the US 26th Division as they entered the town.

November 20, 1928 - Naval combat northeast of Marcus Island

Hi guys, sorry I've been away for so long. For the second winter in a row I've been extremely busy, and fell way behind in posting on the AAR. The good news is the game has gone on, and I've been saving the combat reports and taking screenshots the entire time. This particular game, in fact, has finished, though I'll continue posting it so you all can see how it ended. After that, I'd like to start posting another AAR of a 2nd game Pmbodkin and I are currently playing, which I think is quite different from anything else which has been posted.

What's going on here is I'm using fast, large APs to run supplies to Toyohara. The US air umbrella has made it nearly impossible to reinforce the garrison here in any other way. My fighters are grounded because they're nothing but cannon fodder. I could say more but I've complained enough about this late game imbalance already, and past and future air battles will speak for themselves.

All quiet in Washington DC, post-election. Rumors about "sweeping changes" at both the Departments of State & War. Conventional wisdom also says that rumors about Peace Negotiations were an astute political ploy to win over the votes of increasing numbers of female voters who are now actively participating in the election process.

OK, as stated about a dozen entries up, at the time I'm entering this, this particular game is concluded, so I'm writing about this turn about 9 months after it actually happened. When this turn happened, I was pretty upset, something which rarely happens when I play these games even when I suffer losses. I wrote a fiery rant which I planned on posting when and if this part of the game ever made it into the AAR. I've since decided not to publish most of what I wrote, which basically blasted Matrix for designing a game which was so imbalanced in its late stages. I'll just stick with the 2 following paragraphs from what I originally wrote:

"Just so we’re clear, the total was 57 Japanese aircraft shot down with another 6 destroyed on the ground vs. 5 US planes shot down, with another 3 US planes downed by flak and another 3 operational losses.

"To put it another way, on December 30, 1928, 102 Japanese fighters sortied over their home territory against 46 bombers escorted by 48 fighters. The Japanese fighters enjoyed a 2:1 advantage, and they were over their own airbase. The ratio between Japanese and US fighters shot down was 57:2. I don’t think that even approaches World War II levels".

I realize that by the late game the initiative and numerical advantage should go to the Allies, and Japan should be playing defensively - I'm OK with that. I also realize that WPO is supposed to show the development of air power in the 1920s - with the planes getting steadily better. That's also OK. We're not talking about top secret stealth aircraft here - we're talking about relativlely simple machines only 25 years after the Wright Brothers made their first flight, and the combatants would have had access to the same technology until 1926. To assume that in a war for national survival Japan would performance-wise continue flying close to the same planes it was flying in World War I at the end of 1928, while the USA develops airplanes which completely outclasses Japan in every way is historically wrong. Check the database editor to see what I mean. I think I posted much of what I think of the situation and possible solutions in earlier threads here , here and here.

Anyway, the disparity between the air forces will become even more apparent in 1929, and I don't want to continue belaboring this. At this stage in the game my opponent was gentlemanly enough to agree to reducing his fighters range to 2, at least until the Nakajima A1N1, the closest thing to a "modern" Japanese fighter, appears. This stopped the slaughter of my remaining fighters for awhile. It should be pointed out that none of my current aircraft has the ceiling to reach his high-level bombers, and (except my patrol aircraft) their range is 1, which is not nearly enough to strike the US airbase 3 hexes away at Shikka.

December 29, 1928: Initial stage of the December 1928 Air Battle Over Toyohara.

Here is the score as of Janaury 1, 1929. Although Japan currently has many more points, her defenses are crumbling to the north at Toyohara and to the south at Bonin. With the exception of a minor push in China, Japan is playing mostly defensive at this point. Note this turn's Air to Air Losses.

This attack destroyed the 1st Infantry Division and the 24th Infantry Brigade

In an uncoded wireless message at a frequency communicated to the Japanese Commander on the Island of Bonin in advance under a flag of truce, the following was communicated by 1st Army Group Commander Lt. General Short: "In advance of our upcoming assault on your positions, I personally implore the Commander of the 22nd Division, et al, to accept our terms for your honorable surrender in order to avoid further bloodshed on both sides. You have fought a courageous battle against incredible odds, and there is nothing to be ashamed in accepting the hopelessness of the situation that has been forced upon you. Please take this opportunity to end this conflict...... we promise to respect the dignity of your resistance with access to considerable quantities of food, water, and medical supplies that will be made available to you once you lay down your arms"

At first light, General Short receives a reply over the wireless, stating "Your surrender offer offends us, and forfeits any respect you may have earned from us on the battlefield. We will never dishonor ourselves in such a disgraceful manner, and eagerly await the opportunity to exterminate as many of you as possible before we join our brothers at Yasukuni Shrine. And even as we have breathe our last we will be happy knowing our comrades will avenge us with a terrible retribution upon you. Banzai!" The wireless then goes dead.

January 4, 1929 - The final array of forces before the destruction of all Japanese forces on the Bonin Group. Though the loss of 5 Divisions and a Brigade is a tough blow, they did manage to hold out for 15 months. Their endurance led to untold Allied losses in ground combat, as well as through naval combat, bombardment, and attrition. My opponent very accurately compared the whole campaign to Guadalcanal, and though this represents a major breech of Japan's defenses, he most certainly earned this victory.

The Japanese delegate rises before the assembled members of the League of Nations:

“The situation regarding Shanghai has become intolerable to the Japanese people and interests of peace in Asia. Despite the fact that 80% of the foreign population in that city is Japanese, the Imperial Army withdrew all forces in the shortly after the Great Pacific War began. We did this in the interest of peace. As of now, British, US, French, and Chinese forces remain.

The British have the largest military presence in the city, and are fully capable of maintaining peace and order there. Yet, for years, the United States has openly operated a submarine base in this so-called “international city”, and now surface raiders are harassing peaceful convoys delivering food to areas in China which need it. The Japanese people have endured intolerable suffering as a result. There is no state of war between Japan and the United Kingdom, yet the British forces in Shanghai continue to allow Japan’s enemies to commit outrageous acts of aggression against our civilian population, while at the same time shielding these aggressors from retaliatory strikes.

Let us be clear. Shanghai is not a part of the British Empire. It is a part of China, which is at war with the Japan. The mission of British forces in Shanghai is to keep the peace. Instead of doing so, these forces have instead provided a safe haven for murderers. We cannot believe that an Empire as proud as Great Britain would allow such a stain upon their honor, which is why we must consider that the forces in Shanghai are no longer receiving orders from London.

If Great Britain is indeed in control of Shanghai, then as the municipality’s dominant power they need to restore their proud nation’s honor and stop this illegal activity immediately.

If Great Britain is unable or unwilling to stop these attacks, they should do the honorable thing and withdraw their forces to legitimate areas of their own Empire.

If these attacks continue, the righteous forces of Japan will neutralize the aggressors. If it becomes necessary to enter Shanghai, no citizen or foreigner will be intentionally harmed, providing they do not take up arms against us. Since we cannot fathom any honorable nation deliberately putting their legitimate forces in the middle of a war which is not their own, any foreigner who takes up arms against us will be considered a mercenary in the employ of the Republic of China, and dealt with accordingly".

Editor's note: At this point, I was moving my forces into position to make a move into Shanghai. This little rant was intended to lay the foundation for that. Great Britain was still neutral at this point.

For the second day in a row, the crew of a Felixstowe F-5 shows the incompetent IJN DD captains how to deal with a submarine in Tokyo Bay by once again hitting SS S-7 with ASW. The crews of both flying boats are awarded citations for their skill aboard the flagship of the DD group who has thus far lost 3 of their vessels since the New Year without making a single significant hit on a submarine. The DD captains are forced to stand at attention in the back row with the lowest of the ratings during the award ceremony.
