Hi all. I haven't had a lot of time to update lately. This one has reached the end. On May 14 the Allies continued to strategically bomb Tokyo, Osaka and several other industrial centres, ground the forts to zero at Hiroshima, and were advancing across the North coast of Honshu toward Maizuru. The final blow was the 111the LRP paratroops landing at Tottori and taking the base from an understrength division. It's a bittersweet ending. I know this game was probably a grind for Lowpe. He has been an incredible opponent; tenacious, creative, and persistent no matter what was happening in through the course of the game. Even to the end the KB was sailing South of Honshu searching out a fight. I'll miss this game. I know it would have been very different if Lowpe's curiosity hadn't taken him down the road of accepting battle with the Soviet juggernaut. Even in 42 the mass of divisions and tank brigades is eventually unstoppable. The airforce also had some impact, with MiGs joining P-38s as the best Allied sweepers of 42. Here is the final tally.
