For tonight's OT (i.e. WITP) subject, I've run into an interesting problem in my Downfall scenario. Due to the map scale, it will be impossible to implement the historical Japanese defensive plan. Take Shibushi, for instance, which I've added as a dot base just east of Kagoshima. Under the Japanese plan, the area was meant to be defended by the 57th Army, consisting of four divisions. Two of these were meant to die in place defending the beaches, while the other two, plus one tank brigade, moved forward to counterattack the US landing forces. However, due to the 60-km hex scale, all four divisions and one brigade will be located in the same hex, and will all be subjected to the full US attack. Thus, no counterattack force can be created, except by keeping it one hex back, and there's just not that much room on Kyushu. Grmbl...
