We landed at Moppo with 8 Divisions on Christmas Day 1944. 2 Divisions struck north for Seoul (Keijo) but were stopped by a counterattack at Gunzan and got roughly handled for their efforts. Out airpower forced him to withdraw back into the city after that battle leaving us with Gunzan, but not enough oomph for further forward movement. Most of the force drove east towards Fusan. We were held up for about 10 days by a strong defence of the mountain range at Masan but after we broke that down Fusan fell quickly. Fusan and Moppo are both now level 8 or 9 ports as are Shanghai and Amoy. Moppo is a level 9 airfield and Gunzan, Masan and Fusan are level 7 on the way to 8 or 9. Once the airfield infrastructure and base forces are all in place, the the air offensive will kick off in earnest. Hopefully that coincides with better Spring weather in early March. Operation Olympic is being planned and the forces are moving into place and preparing. I think I will have enough amphibious lift to land 12 divisions plus armour, arty and engineers. I will also have about 2 div equivalents of paratroops. Combine that with my Aircombat deathstar (16 CV's, 12 CVL's & 40CVE's) and about 15 BB's in bombardment support......its going to be a big show.
