Olympic 45

[Bigwig]

I actually tried the tactics I reccomended above last night, and it worked out okay - I took some losses, but I ended the first turn with a couple of tenuous beachheads. I'm not sure how well the interdiction worked; I might have been better off having my planes bomb the beaches. But I got about four rounds of naval bombardment in before my troops hit the beaches, and that turned out to be the key thing - in one case, my landing troops even overran a costal battery, allowing them to dig in before the Japanese counter-attacked.

Hope this helps.
