Scenario Briefing: This scenario covers the Battle of Tokyo as well as the link up of the two Allied armies and the advance to the southern Kanto Plain. The Allies were looking to cut off Tokyo from the rest of the Japanese army. The Japanese will be looking to deny the Allies a firm hold on the lower Kanto Plain.

Note: 1. Losses for Allied units from previous combat have been offset by replacements to include the repair of turrets on ship units. The Japanese could not look forward to replacements as much as the Allies. Their losses reflect not only the loss in combat but also massive bombing that the Allied performed from March 30th until the commencement of this operation.

2. The 11th Airborne Division is deployed on the map based on the Allied player's choice on the first turn. The division is not attached to any corps at the beginning of the game and should be attached to a corps during the first opportunity (night turn).

3. The Japanese 202nd Division is deployed on the map via a Strategy choice.

4. Many of the Allied engineers have the "HAS BOATS" capability to show their ability to improvise with materials at hand to help units cross the water. For a historical experience only cross one company per water hex to show the limited capability of the engineers' materials at hand.

5. Two new Allied corps (III and V) make their appearance in the campaign.
