Japan '46 Operation Coronet Allied AAR

[ComradeP]

16th of March 14:00 Turn 156:



After some reorganization, X Corps will attack west to push the Japanese back up the hills towards Fudakake and away from the road network to the north. Uphill assaulting is difficult, but every hex helps.

The Japanese division there is C quality and Old Style, which has 24 movement points instead of the 30 or 33 that other the other Japanese infantry type units get. That makes it difficult for them to redeploy even in good weather.



As mentioned in the previous post, redeployment of the 7th ID is greatly helped by the Primary roads in the area. The tail end is already east of Matsusaki.



Most of the 4th Marine Division has disengaged by now. A line of tanks south of Togane blocks Japanese LOS so 4th Marine Division can use a Trail to move east and 97th ID the Secondary road south of there to move west.
