About Invasion of Japan
This 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 what's 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.

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 store's 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. Thanks for understanding!

User reviews
I'm impressed.. Just started the game.. I will update my review after playing a while.. I think Joni outdid himself on this one.. Looks really good so far
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.
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 bro...
Excellent game. My first of Joni's, but this convinced me I need to eventually buy them all. Really superb experience!
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
