Japan '45 Historical Plan/Placement Olympic

[ComradeP]

And now for the problem child.

Whoever planned this really dropped the ball with the I Corps landings.

Two divisions land on opposite sides of a major river in the only area held by two Japanese divisions, and four regiment divisions at that, with two more divisions and a brigade that can move in before reinforcements from IX Corps can arrive.

The B quality 33rd Infantry Divisions lands at Chrysler Beach facing the B quality 154th Division.

The B quality 25th Infantry Division lands at Cord beach facing the B quality 156th Division.

The second wave B quality 41st Infantry Division can land at either of the two beaches, player's choice.

As you can see, losses can mount quickly, but most come from arriving units taking an Invasion Loss hit.

The stacks on the beaches in the later screenshot are out of Japanese line of sight, with the lone tank companies blocking line of sight from the north.
