Multi-scenario AARs for Order of Battle Pacific
This is the 2nd Scenario in the US Pacific Campaign for Order of Battle WW2. The First Scenario is Pearl Harbor which is not suited for an AAR. I’m playing on the Lt. Level.
Continuing yesterday’s battle…
This is the 2nd Scenario in the US Pacific Campaign for Order of Battle WW2. The First Scenario is Pearl Harbor which is not suited for an AAR. I’m playing on the Lt. Level.
Following up the success at Pearl Harbor the Japanese invaded many areas in the Pacific. The largest concentration of US ground forces were in the Philippines. The Japanese landed with huge forces after McArthur allowed almost his entire air force to be destroyed on the ground. McArthur retreated southward towards the Bataan Peninsula.

The first phase of the battle was the tough part. Getting my troops in good organization and supply was hard. Capturing the first airfield and Mt. Suribachi was a tough fight. Part two is different.

I’m using two landing zones but they are close together.

The second phase on Palau combines a very narrow road to the north of the island and the remaining victory hexes. The high hills cannot be entered by armor. The road over the hills cannot be used by either heavy artillery or armor.
