This scenario depicts what may have happened if nuclear bombs were never invented and the United States invading Japan during World War 2.

Operation Downfall was the military codename for the two stage invasion of the Japanese home islands. It was drafted after the Battle of Okinawa and it's primary goal was to force the unconditional surrender of Japan by embarking Allied troops on the Japanese home islands. The plan was divided into two stages, Operation Olympic and Operation Coronet.

Operation Olympic was set on November 1 and was to involve the entire US and British pacific fleets as well as all available units to invade and capture 1/3 of Southern Kyushu. This would set the staging ground for the invasion of the Kanto Plain.

Operation Coronet was set on March 1, 1946 and was to be the follow up to Operation Olympic. The main Allied objective was to invade the Kanto Plain from the presumably captured Kyushu. From there they would move inland and seize Tokyo, hopefully forcing Japan to surrender. Further information afterwards is not clear.

Mistakes:
-Resolution is 3840x1920 instead of 3840x2160
-The color key numbers should've been displayed on Japan
-A day is missing
-Sunwu, Manchuria was captured too early
-Some cities are not named
-Some city names are in the wrong spot

I incorporated the KMT, CCP, and other Chinese Warlords/cliques into the same country for simplicity.
