The 20th NEW Indochine Campaign Scenario
Operation McHale
S. Central and Central Pacific/Solomons:
Coral Sea:
The US, French and Australian navies conduct a joint invasion to take back New Caledonia and Vanuatu. These Indochine bases provide a southern buffer for the enemy's large force concentration north, in the Solomons.
Due to this proximity, any Allied offensive operation aimed at driving north into New Guinea, the Coral Sea and the Solomons could prove to be a dangerous gambit while a well-supplied and determined enemy based in New Caledonia and Vanuatu threaten the Allied flank. Additionally, these air bases and ports are heavily defended by extensive air and surface forces.
Having said that, the necessity of neutralizing these bases outweighs the risks involved. It's a green light for Operation McHale.
