Japan '46 Operation Coronet Allied AAR

[ComradeP]

5th of March 1946 14:00 Turn 46



The first naval units from the east are arriving, otherwise it's the usual war of attrition.



The Marines are moving in to clear the ridge west of Honno, offering a good view of the surrounding area. The next objective is the hill further west.

The 147th Division is slowly adjusting its positions, though the right flank isn't withdrawing yet. I initially hoped I might be able to isolate it by reaching Tokyo Bay, but not having any regular units to deal with when 7th ID was clearing the Boso Peninsula was helpful. Otherwise, I would've had to commit 1-2 divisions for days, chasing after Japanese units one hex at a time.
