Scenario Briefing: Operation Coronet would have been the largest amphibious operation of World War Two had it occurred. This scenario covers the entire two-month campaign to take Tokyo and the Kanto Plain as well as vanquish the Japanese armed forces.
The Allies will land eight divisions on "Y-Day" followed up my four more five days later. The XIII Armored Corps arrives on Y+10 followed by two corps on Y+30. More Allied formations arrive later on as well.
The Japanese have four field armies (actually large corps) to face them backed by the excellent Naval forces and tank formations. Along with that is a large force of militia and partisans.
For the Allies to win they are going to need to bide their time awaiting new formations and ensuring that they preserve as much of the offensive potential of their original forces for the later battles.
The Japanese will do well to try and hit the Allies with a knockout blow early in the campaign against one of the numerous Allied divisions. Larger in size and scope as Normandy this campaign also could have been influenced by Russian landings to the north. Meanwhile, the Allies are going to have to clear the minefield at the mouth of Tokyo Bay while trying to use their massive air, naval and artillery to crush the Japanese defenders.
