Operation Downfall - Proposed Allied WWII Invasion of Japan
Features Invasion of Japan
Allied WWII Invasion of Japan 1945 is a turn based strategy game set on the Pacific theater during the Second World War.
From Joni Nuutinen: by a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011This scenario covers Operation Olympic (landing on Kyushu), which was the first part of Operation Downfall (Invasion of Japan), the second part, Operation Coronet, was supposed to take place in 1946.
In this campaign you are in command of the US amphibious force tasked with seizing Kyushu - the southernmost of the Japanese home islands - to set the stage for the second stage of the Operation Downfall.
The geography of Japan has forced the Allies to choose a predictable strategy, and the Japanese have set up their fanatical forces very well to take on the American onslaught.
To defend Kyushu Japan is planning to throw in most of their troops, as well as huge number of civilian fighting units and whats left of their naval might.
The fact that Japan is starting to run low on supplies is counterbalanced by the extreme supply distances Allies has to deal with, not forgetting kamikaze planes and midget submarines.FEATURES:+ Historical accuracy: Campaign mirrors the historical setup.+ Thanks to in-built variation and the games smart AI technology, each game provides a unique war gaming experience.+ Competitive: Measure your strategy game skills against others fighting for the Hall of Fame top spots.+ Supports casual play: Easy to pick up, leave off, continue later.+ Challenging: Crush your enemy quickly and earn the bragging rights on the forum.+ Settings: Various options are available to alter the look of the gaming experience: Change difficulty level, hexagon size, Animation speed, choose icon set for units (NATO or REAL) and cities (Round, Shield, Square, block of houses), decide what is drawn on the map, and much more.+ Tablet friendly strategy game: Automatically scales the map for any physical screen size/resolution from small smartphones to HD tablets, while settings allow you to fine tune hexagon and font sizes.+ Good AI: Instead of just attacking on direct line towards the target, the AI opponent understand encircling, smaller tasks, etc.Join your fellow strategy gamers in changing the course of the Second World War!Privacy Policy (full text on website and app menu): No account creation is possible, the made-up username used in the Hall of Fame listings is not tied to any account and does not have password.

The app only requests the permissions it needs to function.Conflict-Series by Joni Nuutinen has offered highly rated Android-only strategy board games since 2011, and even the first scenarios are still actively updated.
The campaigns are based on the time-tested gaming mechanics TBS (turn-based strategy) enthusiasts are familiar with from both the classic PC war games and legendary tabletop board games.
I want to thank the fans for all the well thought-out suggestions over the years which have allowed these campaigns to improve at a much higher rate than what any solo indie developer could dream of.
If you have advice on how to improve this board game series please use email, this way we can have a constructive back and forth chat without the limits of the stores comment system.
In addition, because I have huge number of projects on multiple stores, it’s just not sensible to spend handful of hours each day going through hundreds of pages spread all over the Internet to see if there is a question somewhere -- just send me an email and I will get back to you.

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"Excellent game. My first of Joni's, but this convinced me I need to eventually buy them all. Really superb experience!"
Anthony Fitch
"This is a regiment-level stimulation of Operation Olympic, the battle that never happened, and it's got all the features you love in this series and more, such as engineer units and aircraft carriers. Logistics plays a part as always, with supplies for the ground troops and fuel for the naval units needing to be brought in. I definitely like having the engineers clear terrain and build roads; it makes shuttling units between the front line and hospital so much quicker."
Jurjen Smies
"With continuous improvements the Conflict Series gets better all the time. Easy to play, yet complex in scope, make no mistake, these are the best war games for Android anywhere. Invasion introduces engineering units and Joni's best maritime units yet."
Joseph Rochford
"It's OK. Still a few bugs to eliminate, but Joni does a great job of continuously improving his games. The battle is never really in doubt. You'll take the island eventually so it is essentially a race against time campaign. I played with the naval option on, but probably won't in the future as I don't feel like it really added anything to the overall gameplay."
Steve Swenson
"A return to form from Joni. All his games are excellent but some stand above the others this is one of them. Another what if scenario. There is a lot going on here so keep your whits about you and good luck"
