Japan '46 Operation Coronet Allied AAR

[ComradeP]

20th of March 14:00 Turn 196:



Odawara was an open city, no Japanese units seem to be in the area. More importantly, there are no units ZOC-blocking the primary road. An oversight. It wouldn't have taken much to make my advance in this area much more difficult.



A regiment of the 96th ID moves in to relieve corps units and 7th ID units north of Honno. 7th ID will move north soon, probably towards Yokoshiba.



The two units east of Choshi were knocked out.

As there don't seem to be any Japanese units on the other side of the river, aside from in the 2 towns with the ferry across the river, 1st Marine Regiment will prepare to cross the river by boat between Takada and Choshi as pontoon construction begins.

I'll be careful not to Isolate the Japanese unit in Hasaki by allowing it to trace a supply path across the ferry into Choshi. Elxaime might still realize something is happening because his local supply value will drop sharply.
