Mag & game. Game of the planned but never executed 1944 invasion of Japanese-held Formosa (now Taiwan). This would have been the largest amphibious invasion in the Pacific. In fact, the US elected to recapture the Philippines instead. Key dynamic is the logistic point, which enables operations. Includes hidden movement. Victory based on control of ports, airfields & cities on the island. Two scenarios: the original, planned invasion and a later, 1945 invasion that assumes portions of the Philippines were captured to better enable Causeway. Includes abstracted air & naval support, choice of invasion locations, ranger & airborne landings. 176 counters, Regt/brig level, 10mi/hex, 1wk/turn.
