War in the Pacific as Planned--Allied
Posted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 6:21 am
This is DaBabes with Blitzk playing Japan and herwin playing the Allies. It has variant victory conditions--if Japan avoids attacking Hawaii, Alaska, or the continental US, the war ends earlier. Blitzk believes hitting Manila instead of Pearl Harbor is a better strategy even for the standard game.
Scenario Changelog (from Blitzk).
Source Dababes v4 + PM sent from JWE
1) Change Ki-44 series from Ha-35 to Ha-34
2) Admiral Yamamoto axed. Admiral Inouye is CINC Combined Fleet. 4th
Fleet comander is Admiral Koga
3) LCU unit 4304 TOE points to 2251 empty slot, setup to 0 (itself) to
correct error
4) LCU units 6259 TOE points to 2425, same as before
5) Changed the arrival of units 5086 and 5087 to Fort Ord. Change the
arrival date from 420226 to 420115
6) Renamed Scen28 to Scen 30.
Here are the rules:
If the Allied player has a sea line of communications (a continuous path
with air superiority) between North America and a fleet base in the
Philippines and from there to a forward base in the Ryukyus, Korea, or Japan
by 30 April 1944, he wins a decisive victory. If this requirement is met by
31 July 1944, this is a regular Allied victory. By 31 October 1944, a
marginal victory, by 31 January 1945, a draw, by 30 April 1945, a Japanese
marginal victory, by 31 July 1945, a Japanese regular victory, and by 31
October 1945 or later, a decisive Japanese victory.
If at any time, the Japanese player attacks a hex in Alaska, Hawaii
(excluding Midway), or continental North America, the Allied player has an
additional year to meet his requirements for a victory. This makes the
historical results a decisive Allied victory. Attacking is a port strike,
airbase strike, air strike against a naval force in a port, strategic
bombing, or landing. Submarine attacks of any sort and surface or air
strikes against a force at sea are allowed.
The purpose of this scenario is to explore the Pacific campaign as both sides expected it to take place.
On December 7th, 1941, President Roosevelt comes on the radio to report: "The Empire of Japan has attacked American possessions in the Western Pacific and the Commonwealth of the Philippines. Germany and Italy have activated the mutual support clause in the Axis Treaty, and have also declared war on the United States. I am meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and have been in contact with Prime Minister Churchill, Secretary Stalin, and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. The United States is now at war and I am declaring a State of Emergency."
There are unconfirmed reports of air attacks on the Royal Navy in Singapore and a submarine attack on the US Battle Fleet. No damage is reported by allied sources.
