Airboy gives us an extended AAR for his adventures across the Pacific ~

Avery Abernethy, 27 August 2016

This is an AAR of Order of Battle Pacific: US Marines on Captain level difficulty. Our first scenario is taking Tanambogho and Tulagi. I picked a large proportion of my core force in the first scenario over three attack waves.

Campaign Start

I chose Marine infantry without transport to save command and supply points. US Infantry has slightly more firepower but must land in a port to avoid heavy disorganization penalties. Heavy terrain also makes it difficult for tracked or wheeled vehicles to move quickly off-road. The difficulty of spotting Japanese units makes fast travel over unsecured ground a recipe for disaster.

Tulagi

Tanambogho Island

Objectives and Initial Force

Tanambogho First Wave – 2 Marine & 1 Raider Unit

Tulagi First Wave 4 Marine Units

Wasp Fighter Looking for Seaplane

Tulagi Landings & Supply Ships

Turn 5 Example of Pre-Battle Casualty Estimates

Supply is critical! If you get cut off from supply or if you do too much without rest your unit will become very weak.
