You have to admit he has a point. Your progress in China is really picking up speed now, very impressive and no doubt very gratifying too.

Honshu next?

quote:


Kochi on Shikoku will be the next major Home Islands operation. Even though we will push out from there as far as we can, the real objective is to secure the airbase and build it to size 9, primary initial use as a fighter base. Stacking limit is 50,000 and we are allocating 5 divisions plus some armor, artillery, and an HQ (possibly two). Preparation is just beginning at 33% for most units so estimate ~60+ days from now.

Kumamoto on Kyushu will come shortly after Kochi.

Tsu on Honshu is after that and will primarily be a Commonwealth operation, the last two targets mentioned being primarily American. Tsu and on to Gifu will be a big operation.

Akita and Hachinohe on Honshu will be the objectives of forces currently assigned to Hokkaido (including some in reserve on Formosa).

We have a division and an armored unit assigned to Tokara Retto, the closest island to the Okinawas. It can be built to size 5 and extend fighter range.

What happened here? So many updates! Not that I'm complaining

The operation for Hokkaido seems to be going really well. Also good progress in China. The hakodate shipyard might be useful, if you dare to put something useful under repair so close to the japanese kamikaze XD

I suppose you still want to bypass Shangai for now? Also, how is the VP situation? Are you edging closer to a VP victory? I will be honest and just say I'd be sad to see the game end. Tokyo has to be conquered

Taking Shaohing or Ningpo or both allows the stationing of surface craft - DDs and PTs to intercept anything trying to run out form Shanghai, so the whole shooting match is a big POW area once you are able to establish air sweeps to stop transports as well.
