Japan '46 Operation Coronet Allied AAR

Hiratsuka's city center was cleared by Corps engineer battalions and only a few hexes were turned to rubble.



III Marine Amphibious Corps will slowly shift the focus of its assaults further south, not that it's clear that Togane will be difficult to clear. The numerous Field hexes with firepower bonuses for units firing into them make a frontal attack too costly.

XXIV Corps has reached the outskirts of Mobara.

The USAAF is pounding a large number of Japanese battalions moving towards the front. It can't destroy them, but will make sure they require a few days of R&R before they can be used at the frontline.

The fleet is repositioning as the frontline moves away from the coast in order to be able to fire in support. I've also started creating stacks of ships in order to maximize the firepower of a single volley (higher losses=higher chance of Disruption)
