The fighting in the home islands leaves no room for manoeuvre so Mike is just coming straight in backed by an awesome amount of firepower.

Thanks to Hiroshima still standing strong, hundreds of mines and still a few DDs running around, the Allies have not been able to break through into the inland sea which has fortunately saved me from massive BB bombardments. Instead Mike is relying on his air to do the smashing but CAP over central and Northern Japan is still strong.

Despite having a stack of units, guns and tanks, the lack of supply is really impacting how hard I can hurt the Allies.

Okayama holds below

No more supply for the guns and Allied armour rolls over the top of them.

I have to say I think you have proved the validity of a Russian tactic. A few things caught you by surprise, but a really sound option for JFB's to consider given the initial surprise attack.

Thanks Lowpe, next time I intend to start much earlier and see if I can't overwhelm the southern Russian positions. Its just bad luck there is not much oil produced by the Russian bases.

Now that is a very good question Bif.

In my mind they would definitely demand Hokkaido so in this scenario Japan becomes split in two like Korea.

Survived quite a few brutal sweeps losing only 2 and 3 Japanese fighters for every Mustang and P47 downed. Deep pools of Frank Rs, Tojos, A6M8s, Oscars and even Jacks allows me to maintain this rate of fighting indefinitely (supply being the only problem).

Sure enough the bombers come calling again and again the empire is ready

Pretty colours as the new USAAF aircraft enter the fray.

Even the key bases are down to about 30K so I will be fighting with sticks and stones in the next two weeks.

The 8th ha arrived and they do look pretty in their colours.

With regards to the rufes, unfortunately not these sentais though I still admire their fighting spirit.

I actually like the Rex for low CAP. And flying from dots.

You're in Sept 45!!! Amazing!

Any jets on the way? Or other fun stuff? What's the report from past historical? Worth it?

hi Obvert, unfortunately no fun stuff on the way

There are still a number of strong posiitons on the Home Islands causing Mike grief but they are rapidly becoming paper tigers due to losses and more importantly, lack of supply.

Amazingly CAP across central Japan is still very strong and continues to score even against Sweeps. The Frank R has been the most critical airframe for the Empire to ensure the game does not completely break down and become a slaughter.

Just about the end of Sept 45 now and have hit 90K in VPs. I would give this game another 30 days and then surely I would have to be toast

Key positions continue to fall under an avalanche of air attacks and BB bombardments.

Hastening the fall now is the lack of supplies which is having a huge impact on the land battles. Despite being obsolete, Japanese weapon systems can still draw blood and hence points continued to be accumulated.

My target was 80K VPs and happy to report it is now over 90K. About 20 days left of combat but effective, organised resistance has largely broken down outside of some stubborn pockets which refuse to yield.

Thanks guys it has been a wonderful journey with a wonderful opponent.

The entire USN has just appeared outside Yokohama no doubt to nail the final stake through the Empire's heart.

Plenty of digital sake is drank as thousands of pilots rush off to join their ancestors and remnants of the IJN sortie forth.

If he stays in the same hex (which is highly unlikely) I am fairly certain he will regret it

Supply has run out except for 3 bases on the Home Islands. Tokyo is out cold and the whole air defence network which has put up a sterling performance has literally collapsed. About 150 Japanese merchant ships have been sent to the bottom of the ocean in three days, as the slaughter commences in earnest.

There is no where to run or hide but stand in place and take it on the chin ( I was going to use another analogy but I don't think it is appropriate on our G rated forum.

I am still laying claim to the bloodiest PBEM in history though!!!!

The Emperor will no doubt make his nation wide address tomorrow.

To illustrate the scale of punishment being meted out, in 12 days Mike has whacked on 14K VP now that the skies are largely clear.
