The (Allied) Great Raid
I. Missions:
(1) To disrupt the primary Japanese LOC in the Pacific region;
(2) To cause major enemy forces to leave their planned areas of
operations reacting to the raid, the Kiddo Butai in particular;
(3) To preserve the bulk of the raiding force in tact;
(4) To generate pro-Allied propaganda, in particular by the
recovery of invaded Allied territories (some momentarily, some
to keep).
II: Targets:
(1) Primary Target: Saipan (major enemy base and considered part of Japan);
[Capture, wiping out enemy forces; consume or remove as much fuel and supplies as possible;
leave First USMC Defense Battalion forcing a ground assault to recapture; forward emergency
repair base. Lay minefield upon departure using DM.]
(2) Secondary Target: Guam (former US territory; forward seaplane/flying boat base
during the land phase of the raid);
[Capture; exploit using ship based aviation support to insure local naval searches and
reconnaissance; consume or remove as much fuel and supplies as possible; leave Second USMC
Defense Battalion forcing a ground assault to recapture. Lay mines using SSM.];
(3) Tertiary Target: Truk (primary enemy forward base and threat to the flank of operation);
[Devastate with air raids on the way in, possibly causing misunderstanding of the real
primary target and the nature of the raid - create the impression that it is an air raid.
Special Contingency Option: On the way out, attempt to clear the minefield; if successful,
occupy, wipe all units ashore, leave Fourth
USMC Defense Bn and remove as much fuel and supplies as possible]

RE: RHS Test 8A 9 May 42: Desperate Battles & The Allied Great Raid!
Both sides were too exhausted to attack in the Ganges valley,
so they settled for mutual bombardment of each other's armies.
Allied bombers continued to decimate the IJA spearhead in
Australia - at Rockhampton. However, the units that lost
Townsville were rebuffed in their attempt to retreat - and
appear all to be at risk of being wiped out. The IJA was also
too weak to assault Batavia again - but won the artillery exchange.
The Great Raid disappeared from Japanese reports - in spite of
extensive search patterns. It is assumed to be headed for Truk -
but might turn and head for Rabaul or Kwajalein - or it may have
retreated because it was detected yesterday.

so they settled for mutual bombardment of each other's armies.
Allied bombers continued to decimate the IJA spearhead in
Australia - at Rockhampton. However, the units that lost
Townsville were rebuffed in their attempt to retreat - and
appear all to be at risk of being wiped out. The IJA was also
too weak to assault Batavia again - but won the artillery exchange.
The Great Raid disappeared from Japanese reports - in spite of
extensive search patterns. It is assumed to be headed for Truk -
but might turn and head for Rabaul or Kwajalein - or it may have
retreated because it was detected yesterday.

RE: RHS Test 8A 12 May 42: The Allied Great Raid!
A complex of task forces (three carrier, three fast transport, two amphibious
and one transport) moved from NE of Truk to SE of Saipan during the day. The
first air combat over Saipan occurs - as F4Fs make a high altitude sweep -
and as various bombers and floatplanes recon all the islands of the Marianas.
Meanwhile, desperate air-land battles continue in India, China and Australia.

RE: RHS Test 8A 19 May 42: Both Sides Carriers Run East!
Both sides, using seaplanes on ships and land based flying boats out of
Saipan (Japan) and Tinian (USA), got good tracks on the enemy carrier
forces. Both sides have two carrier TFs running due East, the Allies
being well Northeast of the Marianas - the Japanese just Southeast of them.
As well, a third Japanese light carrier force showed up West of the
Marianas, along with another (possibly troop laden) task group - more
or less on a track for Guam.

RE: RHS Test 8A 21 May 42: The Battle of Marcus Island!
Unintentionally, yesterday, both sides intended to operate their
carrier forces in mutual supporting range of each other - yet both
ended up widely separated. The Japanese larger division, near
Marcus Island, elected to refuel its escorts and remain in the area -
with the more distant smaller division - and a supporting force of
battleships - would also refuel and close some of the distance from the
SE. The Allies elected NOT to refuel either of their divisions -
and to try to move together. Both sides have seven CV. Both sides
selected points to move to one hex from the other - but didn't quite
make their destinations. The main task forces (4 CV each) ended up
two hexes apart - but some Allies strikes also flew from the other
nearby carriers - while the Japanese more distant carriers could not
contribute to the fight.

carrier forces in mutual supporting range of each other - yet both
ended up widely separated. The Japanese larger division, near
Marcus Island, elected to refuel its escorts and remain in the area -
with the more distant smaller division - and a supporting force of
battleships - would also refuel and close some of the distance from the
SE. The Allies elected NOT to refuel either of their divisions -
and to try to move together. Both sides have seven CV. Both sides
selected points to move to one hex from the other - but didn't quite
make their destinations. The main task forces (4 CV each) ended up
two hexes apart - but some Allies strikes also flew from the other
nearby carriers - while the Japanese more distant carriers could not
contribute to the fight.

RE: RHS Test 8A 21 May 42: The Battle of Marcus Island!
Given the damage control of the Allies that could be very very bad for the Japanese.
3 japanese carriers in the 2nd combat might be FOW or maybe it already peeled off with destroyer escort.
Great luck!!

RE: RHS Test 8A 24 May 42: Air-Air & Air-Ground Combat in India!
This turn features several sub attacks on Japanese carriers,
one successful, as well as significant casualties to the
Japanese field army in the Ganges basin - from air attacks.
Nevertheless, except for a single P-38F sweep, Allied air-air
performance was not impressive.

RE: RHS Test 8A 26 May 42: IJA Driven From Rockhampton!
The last Japanese division is forced out of Rockhampton,
badly disrupted and mauled. The Kiddo Butai is retiring
Westward - but subs report at least two replenishment
oilers will meet it tomorrow, presumably to refuel. It
is in four formations - indicating more than 75 ships -
two carrier and two surface. Possibly the Battle of the
Mariana's will have a follow up. So far, it appears that
the Allies did somewhat better, but neither side lost a
carrier, and the Japanese have more carriers with
effective air groups. It appears both sides have three
seriously damaged carriers plus one moderately damaged
carriers - and that both sides fielded a total of 7 CV.
IJN, however, also has a number of smaller CVLs and CVEs
in the fight and a task force (called Ni Kiddo Butai
historically) of them has been able to join the battle.

badly disrupted and mauled. The Kiddo Butai is retiring
Westward - but subs report at least two replenishment
oilers will meet it tomorrow, presumably to refuel. It
is in four formations - indicating more than 75 ships -
two carrier and two surface. Possibly the Battle of the
Mariana's will have a follow up. So far, it appears that
the Allies did somewhat better, but neither side lost a
carrier, and the Japanese have more carriers with
effective air groups. It appears both sides have three
seriously damaged carriers plus one moderately damaged
carriers - and that both sides fielded a total of 7 CV.
IJN, however, also has a number of smaller CVLs and CVEs
in the fight and a task force (called Ni Kiddo Butai
historically) of them has been able to join the battle.
