I’m going to aggregate troops I want shipped out of Japan at Kagoshima (1), along with appropriate troop transports and escorts. I’m afraid to tweak industry or research at this stage so I’ll leave it alone for now. I’ll be creating my first dedicated anti-submarine warfare task forces, composed mostly of sub chasers (SCs). Here I’ll be doing quite a bit of tedious logistical work - shuffling ships and troops around, mostly.

With any luck, we’ll catch the place by surprise, wipe them all out and earn ourselves a free hand.Īh, Japan. Also based at Pearl are the carriers Enterprise and Lexington, though they are apparently out on maneuvers of some kind. (Two have been moved forward to Manila - more on that later). At least 6 battleships are likely to be docked at Pearl. The basic idea is to cripple the United States Navy at the outset of the war so that we can make our conquests in the Southern Resource Area without their interference. Also visible in the above image: our pre-positioned submarine fleet, with several detached to launch minisubs in an attempt to penetrate the harbor defences and torpedo enemy craft at anchor. We have deployed the Kidō Butai - our six most modern aircraft carriers of the Kairyu class, escorted by the two Harima class battleships, and all under the command of RADM Yamaguchi - to launch a pre-emptive strike on the main US Navy base at Pearl Harbor. So: let’s take a look at the state of the Japanese Empire and our plans for war on December 6, 1941.
This will be probably the most ‘serious’ and lengthy post of this whole thread. In this first post (and perhaps more in the future) I’ll go through my setup region by region. In fact, I’m still working on it, though I’m almost done. The first turn of any WitP game is the most elaborate and difficult, particularly from the Japanese side.
