Quote:BUt I still consider that the loss of PoW in such circumstances and in water so shallow was the most significant single event of FFO. It will have a striking effect on FFO and we really have not discussed the wheres and whys of what happens yet."With this sentence you point out yourself that this event means that it's no longer a FFO story but a FFO-POW one.
Quote:But we wanted to write a FFO one... So one decision has to be made: which one si to be used?
Quote:We have now THREE major points of divergence: FFO, PoW and Mac Arthur's death (well four with Panama).
Quote:As for Mac Arthur this means the end on the southern strategy and a Nimitz one, with a norther island fast approach... meaning a possible economic knock out as soon as 44 with the Guam-Bonin-Okinawa-blockade strategy.
Quote:No need for a strategic offensive in the south. Australian forces should remain on the defensive and use as few ressources as needed. the idea being "fill the southern bag full of Japanese and then cut it from the top, at Okinawa".
