Japan '46 Operation Coronet Allied AAR

[ComradeP]

2nd of March 1946. 04:00 Normal conditions. Turn 11.



In the Eighth Army sector, the initial goal is to advance north a bit in order to outflank defences in Hiratsuka and Fujisawa. Unfortunately, the swift arrival of Naval Landing forces would leave the Japanese in control of Fujisawa.



In the First Army sector, both corps will initially head west.

I intended to ignore the Boso Peninsula entirely initially by threatening to isolating the Japanese defenders there through holding a frontline from the initial landing beaches to Tokyo Bay.

As you can see, and as could be expected, the loss ratio is poor for the Allies at the moment due to all the losses from landing and (in)direct fire on 200% firepower modifier Beach hexes.
