Scenario Briefing: This scenario covers the First Army's involvement in the Battle of Tokyo. Their goal is to link up with the Eighth Army and assault and isolate Tokyo from the east as well as drive north onto the 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 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.
6. The value (50) of the Japanese supply source at hex 0,10 reflects the effects of Allied interdiction that would have made resupply by that route more difficult than via one of the other map edge supply source locations. The highway leading from Koshigaya (hex 0, 11) to Tokyo could easily be referred to as "Jug Alley" due to the amount of P-47 Thunderbolt missions that the Allies would have had the tactical fighter squadrons perform.
