Japan '45 Historical Plan/Placement Olympic

[ComradeP]

The Shibushi Bay landings have been successful in the sense that the first row of beach defenses have been cleared, but it will take a while before the divisions can shake hands. They'll have to attempt to do so, as the Americal Division is scheduled to land on the Dusenberg and Essex beaches between them.

The A quality 1st Cavalry Division lands at Ford Beach and the B quality 43rd Infantry Division lands at De Soto beach.

The A quality 86th Division defends the beaches.

Shibushi was reduced to rubble by battleships and bombers, always a good move to prevent reinforcements from moving in.

The orange counter in the east is a Ranger battalion.

In case you're wondering why there are units still on the beach: the supply sources for the two divisions are in a rather inconvenient location, so I'll have to hold those hexes in order to prevent being Isolated.
