[SAS~Poltava]

Yet another campaign BAT-ified, but now with a twist. One campaign has been turned into two:



These are two semi-historical, 8-mission campaign, set in the spring of 1944. Operation U-Go is about to start, the Japanese offensive launched in March 1944 against forces of the British Empire in northeast India. Aimed at the Brahmaputra valley, through the two important towns of Imphal and Kohima, it was the last major Japanese offensive during the Second World War. The aim of the offensive was bold: to cut the Allied supply lines to their front in northern Burma, forestalling their pending attack in that region, and also thereby halting the aerial supply to Nationalist China over the so called "Hump".

You are a pilot in a Japanese Army bomber unit participating in the support for this offensive. There are TWO campaigns included in this download: one for the Mitsubishi Ki-49 "Helen", and one for the Kawasaki Ki-48 "Lily". (In either campaign you in one mission will fly the Mitsubishi Ki.46 "Dinah".) Regardless of which type of aircraft, this will be be tough, as the Allies are growing stronger and stronger in the air. If you just make it back to the base in one piece, it will be treated as a successful mission.

U-Go started with a diversionary attack in the Arakan, in early February. This would attract Allied reserves from Assam, and also create the impression that the Japanese intended to attack Bengal through Chittagong. But the main thrust was to take place in the centre, where Mutaguchi's Fifteenth Army would attack into Manipur. This culminated in the gruelling battles of Imphal and Kohima, where the Japanese were first held and then pushed back, with huge losses. It was the largest defeat to that date in Japanese history, and one of the turning-points of WW2.



The original "Helen" campaign has been converted by the Edc1 - thanks again, Stan! (We both got some extra time to spare, in these days of self-isoldation...)
