But at what price?
The air units are usually equivalent to the usual CV Carrier Air Groups (CAG) (3 squadrons for CVs, one for CVLs).
The battle has been referred to as the 'typhoon of steel', and was the bloodiest in the Pacific, with approximately 160,000 military casualties combined: at least 50,000 Allied and 84,166–117,000 Japanese, including drafted Okinawans wearing Japanese uniforms.However, the game is a stand-alone and does not require ownership of SGS PACIFIC D-DAY to be played.
Or, as the Imperial Japanese commander, can you fight those doomed battles at a cost that will be intolerable for the enemy?
The battle is at Battalion scale on both sides.
