Japan '46 Operation Coronet Allied AAR

[ComradeP]

14th of March 1946 14:00 Turn 136



XIII (Armored) Corps blew a hole in the Japanese line, but the terrain and weather conditions make any kind of exploitation into the Japanese rear impossible. Still, the main goal was to remove the Japanese from 24th ID's flank and that's working. Secondary goal would be to knock out some of the coastal guns in their bunkers.

A Pershing unit has been firing at the guns in a bunker at the 100 point objective west of Oshikiri for most of the game, knocking one out through direct fire. 



I moved one of XXIV Corps' engineer battalions south to clear the remaining obstacles along the coastal primary road from Mobara to Matsusaki together with 7th ID's engineer battalion. The motorized elements of the division are moving back north, the infantry will follow soon.






The 6th Marine Division is nearly in position north of Katakai.
