と表示されていて、disableになったdeviceは助かっているのかと思いました。でも実際には、載っていた8th JNAF Coy(素のシナリオ1にはない、RA mod特有のLCUかもしれません)は全滅していました。ベータパッチをあてると、PPを支払うことで全滅したLCUを召還することができるようになります。この8th JNAF coyはaviation support deviceを含んだ部隊です。aviation supportはいくらあっても足りないので、召還することになるでしょう。
戦闘後のルーガンビルの状況を見てみると、すでに戦闘機を含めて50機近い飛行機を配備しています。こんなところに連合軍航空基地ができるのは、昭和17年末以降ならいざ知らず、現状では許せません。引き続き機動部隊が爆撃を行い、ラバウルにいる重巡で艦砲射撃を行い、そして上陸作戦で奪取したいと思います。ルーガンビルを占領すれば、その南東へ哨戒圏を拡げることができるのと、なにより上陸した連合軍部隊を無駄にさせることが大きいので。すぐに使える部隊はラバウルにいる横須賀第四特別陸戦隊くらいです。相手には砲48門と装甲戦闘車両43両もあるようで、Marine Defence Battalionなどでしょうか。空襲や艦砲射撃を交えればこれで足りるかな？やはり、かなりきびしそうかな？
