Japan '46 Operation Coronet Allied AAR

3rd of March 1946 04:00 Mud conditions Turn 21



X Corps does its best to clear Hiratsuka without turning it into a big pile of rubble.

Fujisawa on the other hand will be turned into a pile of rubble to complicate Japanese troop movement.



Poor weather conditions will limit gains in the First Army sector as moving through Field hexes is a 1 hex at a time process in Mud conditions.

The first Japanese reinforcements have reached the frontline, as the 354th Division arrives at Mobara.

The first spike in Japanese losses comes from carpet bombing reinforcements as they move along the primary roads in T-mode. A battalion can lose hundreds of men that way. It made my opponent switch to mostly moving units in T-mode at night.

I also focused on trying to hit units in urban hexes, to create rubble in order to slow down troops further down the road.
