Scenario SH-2: Invading Kyushu

[WotC Bob]

The scenario is now live (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=ah/aam/ah20070411c).

I'm putting together the scenario card for a new "What If?" scenario involving a US invasion of Japan. It's running late because I moved my desk, computer, etc today (along with some colleagues) to a different part of the building and that has consumed much of the day.

Sounds fun bob, keep the goods comming.

Sounds cool, Bob. If you can use any help with research, I volunteer; for some reason Operation DOWNFALL, "MacArthur's Last Stand" as I call it*, has been the subject of grim fascination for me.

*I believe that had DOWNFALL gone forward, he probably would have died on the beach or not far from it. Just my opinion, based on a general gut-check impression...

Well, as I wrote in the scenario, it would have been a very grisly fight. Nobody would have been safe with the plans that were being formulated by the IJA and IJN. A lot of heroes would have been made and have died on such a day but the end of all the fighting would have been the same; a broken and surrendering Imperial Japan.

Sounds good. I think I shall try it. Thanks again Bob.
