Ok guys, Michealm provided us the correct exe file, so as soon as our beloved Canadian wakes up we should be able to start back again. Here's the situation: We will land again...1300 ships will unload in 2 days 200,000 men on the beaches of Hachinoe. If the landings go as good as they went last time (finger crossed) we should be able to attack the very following turn. Rader will be sending reinforcements as soon as possible, so we have to use this very tiny window for destroying some forts...i hope that the great amount of engineers we brought with us will be up to the task....we're facing 250,000 enemies with nearly 3000 guns...not exactly a walk in the park, but i think, with some air2ground support, we should be able to achieve a decent result. Naval and air battles will occurr for sure...i expect the mighty combined fleet to be upon us very soon. But we cannot stop, not now...we have to keep on pushing, no matter the cost. We need Hachinoe...if we manage to get that base...then everything will be possible. Hakodate will have to be guarded...i'm placing all my eggs there so i cannot let him close it...2000 fighters will be always flying there, along with 3 strong SCTFs and several DD divisions. The Tokyo raid has really been important under this point of view...he will need some time to re-organize his bomber groups...and we can use this time to provide a small window of air superiority over the contested area. His a/c factories have been mostly repaired...Franks "r" are already online and these beasts can tangle with the P-47s easily...but at this point is not anymore a matter of planes...is a matter of numbers... Our ships will be back at Hakodate within 2 days after the landings...and will soon start to load the second wave. Time is not on my side here so i have to rush... Then everything will be in the hands of the brave 10th US Army at Hachinoe...if those guys are able to start to crack the japanese perimeter, then the following 9,000 AVs of the second and third wave will probably be able to do the rest... ...if i close my eyes i see the waves of Betties that arrive on our landing fleet.. against thousands of allied fighters...can you picture the scene in your minds? 1300 ships unloading.... hundreds of CD guns firing from the beaches...1500 allied fighters fighting for the supremacy of the skies over the fleet...thousands of enemy planes that attack without solution of continuity...the flak firing crazily...magnificent!!!! Looking forward.....
