Larger attack tomorrow. The terrain is protecting them well from air strikes.

It looks like the small force (division + TD Bn) crossing into Shimonoski will make 8 miles per day. That might accelerate later in the move because the route is 1/2 trail and 1/2 primary road. The purpose of the early advance is now moot, as no movement is seen out of Shimonoseki and movement from Tokuyama is east into Hiroshima/Kure. My guess is that Hiroshima/Kure is being fortified as a redoubt.

First attack is tomorrow at Okayama.

Our 4EB on Hokkaido did not fly at all, so our troops landing at Hachinohe and attacking at Gifu did without them. Events at Gifu might have greatly benefitted from the B-29 swarm.

Nope heads won't roll. If you had wanted to go that way, you should have played Japan.

At most you can have them dismissed for incompetence XD

That said, do you have any other major landing planned out? Or will you just use the ports you have and the ones you are going to get up north, and do a pincer attack from those?

That's it for landing preparation, and any new preparation would take longer than the game has. There are lots more units to bring in through Akita and Hachinohe, though. For that matter there are a lot omre units to bring in, 'period'. Kochi has a lousy road net so no more units over those docks, but Kyushu (several ports available) and Tsu are all receiving more and more units.

The enemy units retreated into Nagoya. A rested motorized division at Tsu will now move NE at full speed, pass through Gifu to the hex NE to cut the transportation network there. An infantry division at Gifu will also make for that hex but might be slower due to recent battles.

First attack at Hachinohe tomorrow. Most of the assigned units are not on scene yet but with heavy bombing, naval bombardments, and clear terrain we will start to wear down the defenses. Akita has lesser sealift and only a single division has landed.

Nice to knock off Gifu. Any idea how many aircraft factories you destroyed?

Good point, I forgot about that. That was one of the nice things I noticed about Gifu when planning the op.

I'll count up the armaments or vehicle factories (whichever it is they morph into) next turn. I didn't take a screen pic of recon there so I won't be able to tell how big they were or what they were.

No feature in Tracker to track industries by location?

Imperial air power flexed its muscles in this AO, with CAP impeding our strikes against Yingkow and shoointg down some precious B-25D and escorts. Imperial death gliders made their own mark at both battle points - Yingkow and Liaoyuan - but our ground forces had such supremacy that they prevailed anyway. Both towns are secured and the rail heads at both will start receiving many additonal combat units to expand behind the enemy MLR.

3 enemy units remain with less than 15,000 troops. Most of our units will attack tomorrow; only the few with the highest disruption will hold back. The forces from Kanoya have arrived and will all attack tomorrow.

It looks like there are 14 Vehicle Assembly plants at Gifu, most or all should be ex-aircraft factories.

Our air strikes on ground forces at Maizuru to slow down Imperials trying to move east (so we can block the road on them) appear to be working but are costly. W should have two divisions in that blocking hex tomorrow with several armoured units to follow as they unpack from trains at Gifu.

Unexpectedly good results, and the 4th Marine Division just landed and did not participate. That unit will march into Akita as fast as possible, and all assigned air and naval bombardments will shift there. Another division will land at Akita beginning tonight but the armor and artillery are still a good two days out. The remaining two divisions are on the docks awaiting transport. So we will begin attacking ASAP with the three divisions, or maybe two if 4th Marine Div is still marching.

The Australians will shock attack tomorrow, because 'Remember the Effingham!'.

Most of the divisions at Gifu plus armor and artillery (the armor just arriving after the battles) will now head NE to the blocking hex from where they can head west into Maizuru, the next target. After Maizuru is secured, all available forces will convoerge on Osaka/Kyoto.
