THIS THREAD IS FOR AXIS PLAYERS AND OBSERVERS ONLY - AND THE PUBLIC
NOT FOR ALLIED PLAYERS
This is a series of two tests -
one with an Allied Tag Team vs an Axis Tag team
and a combination of control test / training game for a new player trying to learn RHS mechanics.
Although this is the 11th Test series, the tests are named 5 (for the main test) and 5A (for
the control test) - to keep file names shorter. The "5" comes from RHS Level II version 5.xx
software series.
Both tests are of RHS Scenario 139 (Total War Option or TWO) designed by Mifune, but implemented
by me. It is the ultimate Japan Enhanced Scenario, assuming a full ten years of planning by a
"Strike South" air minded Japanese leadership. These include Prime Minister Tojo - who was the
first Japanese politician to travel by air rather than by ship or train - and a former head of the
JAAF - although in real life he was serving a "Strike North" group of IJA generals. In this hypothetical
world, derived from the AltWars joint art project used by most mods and by stock for aircraft and ships,
the leadership is a true fusion of Army and Navy. [Tojo himself actually ordered this in 1943, after
accurate intelligence on the US Manhattan Project persuaded him that "atomic bombs will decide this war."
Tojo ordered both Army and Navy research merged and it nearly worked. A sea change in real world, present
day Japanese policy - likely because of a decision to become an overt nuclear power - has decided to
promote publication of details of this effort - to a scholarly standard - in 2019. An English edition will
follow around the end of the year or in early 2020. Write if you want what details are available pre-publication.]
Other leaders include General Yamashita, Admiral Yamamoto and Vice Admiral Ozawa. This group managed to avoid
"the third great folly in history" of Yamamoto. ["There are three great follies in history. The Great Wall of
China. The Pyramids of Egypt. And the battleship Musashi."] The long series of designs resulting in the Yamato
class battleships survives only in the forms of the names of repeat Shokaku class carriers: Yamato, Shinano and
Musashi. Laid down on the same dates with much of the same steel and engines. All the older battleships are
converted to Kongo like forms - 8 gun ships with Kongo like powerplants - but are NOT regarded as battleships
at all. They are instead "super heavy cruisers" which serve as carrier escorts. [Four ships with 12 guns lose
their center turrets - which are landed and used as shore batteries - named in honor of the ship the guns come from.]
Shadow programs are canceled in favor of building carriers that do not need conversion from ocean liners, sub
tenders or seaplane carriers. Only early war versions are completed - but Japan can convert various ships to
carrier form. [Apart from ocean liners and fast tankers, Japan drew up plans to convert all its old battleships
and even its newest heavy cruisers to carrier forms.] The historical proposal of Yamashita - to build a "Panzer Corps"
- is adopted at the time he made it. So Japan has unique, relatively small, relatively modest mechanized units
(converted from various specialist units, many of them motorized to begin with). These do not look good vs later
British, Indian or US armor, or even compared to Soviet armor, but they are demigods in 1941 - designed to dominate
the peculiar conditions (and the 10 ton bridges) of East and Southeast Asia.
The Allied Tag Team is a reinforced group which conducted Test Ten and it is unusually aggressive.
This is what RHS is designed for: offensive defensive play by the Allies until they go over to
offensive play only. Because of the ten year build up, the Allies have been able to detect numbers of
changes in the threat, and numbers of things are "in the pipeline" to help them cope. This includes
numbers of aircraft types not put into production (or scrapped which are sent to PTO rather than being
scrapped. RHS has devised a way for the Allies to manage "aircraft production" - either invest 1000 supply
per day to "repair" a production line - or do not (and it won't ever be produced). Allied industry is also
able to "grow" over time - and be managed by players - so that 1944 forces get more supplies than 1941
forces do. Numbers of alternate options historically considered are included in this scenario. For
example, the British pressure Tibet into permitting ROC engineers to upgrade the Tea and Horse Caravan
Road ("the backdoor to China") - early in the war (because Britain arms the Tibetan Army - which is
static and defends the key points of the theocracy: the religious capital, the political capital, and
the capital of the new territory annexed from ROC China - all at key line of communications points.
The transcontinental rail lines of Australia are also built early on - they were surveyed - but the more
expensive option of building primary roads was implemented. [Neither the primary roads nor the RRs
appear in stock games].

Control Test 5A Turn 1
This Report is the result of the SAME Japanese start turn as Test 5
but had the Allied turn written by a student player in his first exposure
to RHS (to learn the RHS economic system).
The Japanese operational focus is
1) Pearl Harbor (no surprise)
2) Rapid conquest of Northern Luzon
3) Rapid conquest of Malaya
4) Rapid conquest of Canton and SE China
5) Rapid conquest of Central China
6) Rapid unification of badly fragmented French Indochina and Thailand
to facilitate the invasion of Burma
7) Rapid establishment of a sea line of communications to the Bismarck
Archipellego to facilitate the invasion of that archipellego, the
Solomans and the "golden triangle" farther South (Fiji, New Caledonia,
and New Hebrides).
Post Combat evaluation: The carrier planes are in such good shape
a follow on raid will be conducted against Pearl Harbor tomorrow. The
timid enemy response to the invasion of Malaya means the strong
covering forces will escort the 2nd Tank Division from Cam Rahn Bay by
sea rather than it moving overland. The invasion of Luzon will attempt
a shock and awe airborne assault at Linguyan Gulf - never mind ample
conventional troops are marching South from San Fernando and others
are landing by ship tomorrow. If this succeeds, it saves a day. Note
the entire NW coast of Luzon fell in a single day. The "Ni Kiddo Butai"
off Eastern Luzon will continue to cover the landings there which
have the objective of collapsing the Allied defenses and investing
Manila to prevent a hunkered down siege of the urban area. Still moving
to contact in most other areas.

1) Pearl Harbor (no surprise)
2) Rapid conquest of Northern Luzon
3) Rapid conquest of Malaya
4) Rapid conquest of Canton and SE China
5) Rapid conquest of Central China
6) Rapid unification of badly fragmented French Indochina and Thailand
to facilitate the invasion of Burma
7) Rapid establishment of a sea line of communications to the Bismarck
Archipellego to facilitate the invasion of that archipellego, the
Solomans and the "golden triangle" farther South (Fiji, New Caledonia,
and New Hebrides).
Post Combat evaluation: The carrier planes are in such good shape
a follow on raid will be conducted against Pearl Harbor tomorrow. The
timid enemy response to the invasion of Malaya means the strong
covering forces will escort the 2nd Tank Division from Cam Rahn Bay by
sea rather than it moving overland. The invasion of Luzon will attempt
a shock and awe airborne assault at Linguyan Gulf - never mind ample
conventional troops are marching South from San Fernando and others
are landing by ship tomorrow. If this succeeds, it saves a day. Note
the entire NW coast of Luzon fell in a single day. The "Ni Kiddo Butai"
off Eastern Luzon will continue to cover the landings there which
have the objective of collapsing the Allied defenses and investing
Manila to prevent a hunkered down siege of the urban area. Still moving
to contact in most other areas.

Test 5 Turn 2
The most significant action was a follow up attack at Pearl Harbor. All the battleships,
already damaged yesterday, took additional hits, but none sank. Even so, the United States
Fleet must be out of action as a fighting force, with respect to its heavy units, and a number
of cruisers and destroyers have been damaged or, in one case today, a destroyer was sunk. The
cost in aircraft was excessive. AAA is very effective when not constrained by the first turn
surprise situation. So the Ichi Kiddo Butai (One Carrier Striking Force) will return to Truk,
to get replacement aircraft and regenerate sortees. There it will meet many units outbound
from Japan, and combine with them for an early South Pacific Offensive.
Offensives on Luzon and Malaya continue. Unification of Indochina and Thailand and Southern and
Eastern China continue.

already damaged yesterday, took additional hits, but none sank. Even so, the United States
Fleet must be out of action as a fighting force, with respect to its heavy units, and a number
of cruisers and destroyers have been damaged or, in one case today, a destroyer was sunk. The
cost in aircraft was excessive. AAA is very effective when not constrained by the first turn
surprise situation. So the Ichi Kiddo Butai (One Carrier Striking Force) will return to Truk,
to get replacement aircraft and regenerate sortees. There it will meet many units outbound
from Japan, and combine with them for an early South Pacific Offensive.
Offensives on Luzon and Malaya continue. Unification of Indochina and Thailand and Southern and
Eastern China continue.

Test 5 December 12 Turn
The KB failed to attack Johnston Island for the second day in a row, so it will retire,
rather than risk attracting submarines to its position. [One carrier already has a fish
in her belly]. Generally all is going well, except a reckless attack on Cagayan, a level
6 airfield on Mindinao, ran into a gigantic number of enemy troops. The landing force will
attempt to disengage. It appeared that the base was abandoned.

Test 5 ALPHA 12 December 41 Turn
The reason for the torpedo bomber attacks against Japanese ships is that an invasion force is headed toward Mersing (SE Malaya, just North of Singapore). The invasion force is covered by the JapaneseCVLs. Today, land based long range fighters will be covering the landing, based at Kota Bahru - whichis just getting base forces to support them. Pre production Ki-45s, Ki-38s and Zeros are backing upthe Carrier Zeros, which are tired. Still - we may lose a carrier. Closing Singapore this early isvery dangerous. But recon shows weak defense in the area. In Northern Malaya the main body of25th Army is SOUTH of the forward defense line. And we are trying to cut off the Western RR at two points.Divide and conquer, Ceasar said.

Test 5 ALPHA 13 December 41 Turn
For some reason, the amphib landing at Mersing - in spite of being
set to remain on station - bounced off after the night impulse,
spending the entire day sailing away. Nevertheless, enough of the
division landed to be effective. It will return today. This invasion
us by the Second Tank Division (Geki) - in spite of being inexperienced
in combined arms operations - it is a demigod in AE. Designed by
General Yamashita, it formed off of experienced and often motorized
units, but was not allowed to form in 1941 as he proposed. Here we
see how it might have done had it formed. It was one of three tank
divisions (which are small and outfitted with relatively light tanks,
but these are in fact ideal for the light bridges in the area). It
was small - 4 tank battalions nicely balanced by 4 infantry battalions -
one of those is mechanized - the other three motorized. It had artillery
and small "units" (two companies) of specialists like engineers and AAA.
This division is being backed up by a full strength infantry division.
Its slow TF of small ships (which land much faster than big ones do)
was ordered to close the coast at full speed today. Ideally this
will change the situation in Malaya.
Farther North both Taiping was captured in tact, as was the town of Ipoh
South of it, by tiny slices of airborne. Only one (Navy) airborne
battalion ("regiment") is in theater - and it has been busy trying to
unify the road/rail network of Indochina and Thailand. Recon revealed
these positions were undefended yesterday, so an emergency effort moved
a company to a base close enough to perform these assaults. Now we have
an airhead to back up the base at Kota Bahru - and as well have been
able to move elements which will permit a level 4 airfield at Nakhwan to
be able to stand up - maybe tomorrow - so the air units in Indochina will
substantially move into Northern Malaya in force.

set to remain on station - bounced off after the night impulse,
spending the entire day sailing away. Nevertheless, enough of the
division landed to be effective. It will return today. This invasion
us by the Second Tank Division (Geki) - in spite of being inexperienced
in combined arms operations - it is a demigod in AE. Designed by
General Yamashita, it formed off of experienced and often motorized
units, but was not allowed to form in 1941 as he proposed. Here we
see how it might have done had it formed. It was one of three tank
divisions (which are small and outfitted with relatively light tanks,
but these are in fact ideal for the light bridges in the area). It
was small - 4 tank battalions nicely balanced by 4 infantry battalions -
one of those is mechanized - the other three motorized. It had artillery
and small "units" (two companies) of specialists like engineers and AAA.
This division is being backed up by a full strength infantry division.
Its slow TF of small ships (which land much faster than big ones do)
was ordered to close the coast at full speed today. Ideally this
will change the situation in Malaya.
Farther North both Taiping was captured in tact, as was the town of Ipoh
South of it, by tiny slices of airborne. Only one (Navy) airborne
battalion ("regiment") is in theater - and it has been busy trying to
unify the road/rail network of Indochina and Thailand. Recon revealed
these positions were undefended yesterday, so an emergency effort moved
a company to a base close enough to perform these assaults. Now we have
an airhead to back up the base at Kota Bahru - and as well have been
able to move elements which will permit a level 4 airfield at Nakhwan to
be able to stand up - maybe tomorrow - so the air units in Indochina will
substantially move into Northern Malaya in force.
