Yes, i'll have to do that! The only problem is that my air force still needs to be organized...some air transport didn' unload as they should have and those squadrons unloaded are being rapaired so i cannot move them yet...i need a couple more turns in order to have a decent and organized CAP above my bases...for the moment i'll keep my CVs out of the risky area and will devote my effort in reorganize my conquests...
Kunashiri could be built up to lvl 8 AF...which isn't bad at all...and shikotan up to lvl 7...
It also seems that he's moving out of Sapporo...strange indeed... Our tanks are already on march,along with the 93rd Inf division...Hakodate
Reder can more or less give up the entire hokkaido as long as he is able to control Hakodate and can prevent you from interrupting the barge/tf transport between Ominato and Hakodate. Right now he might be bringing in everything whats left on the main island and unrestricted.
For the near future (next 2-3 months) it is hard to predict how he will react. But one of the possibilities is that he will start to move most of his existing ground forces back to Japan. I do not know how much this could be, as i am not a Japanese late war expert but i asume that the number of divisions can be > 50. If now he is able to move them to Hakodate with barges/TFs then you could face a serious problem. That is the only real long term threat i see right now. Kamis are deadly too, but only against your reinforcement convoys.
So, with this in mind, one of your main targets could be the Hakodate port. It doesn't matter how many barges and Divs he has if he can't unload them onto Hokkaido. Also the the two closest Honshu ports, Ominato and Hirosaki/Aomori, plus the port just behind Hakodate, Muroran, should be targets. Even before hitting industry, take these out and keep them out.
