Need help with Leyte Gulf campaign

[hairog]

I need some help with Pacific wide OOB during the same time period of Leyte Gulf say starting from Oct 10, 1944. Any suggestions as to references?

I am going to attempt a "what if" campaign based on Halsey's screw up and the premise that Kurita pressed on with his attack and obliterates the invasion forces. I've always wondered if this could have been a turning point.

Hairog - your posts (and some others) that show interest in replicating specific campaigns of several weeks duration have me thinking that to do justice to these I need to shorten the operational (and strategic turns) even more (ie ecven less than 1 week).

I THINK this might be possible. It might be possible to have turns as short as 1 day - sort of like Witp.

I am going to add this to the Special Requests page....
