The First Battle of the Next War
-
I have posted on the A&A Wiki a detailed wargame conducted by the Center for Strategic & International Studies covering the possible outcomes of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. This would be of interest to anyone who creating a contemporary TripleA mods or with an interest in military affairs. https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/First_Battle_of_the_Next_War
Their summary below
What would happen if China attempted an amphibious invasion of Taiwan? CSIS developed a wargame for a Chinese amphibious invasion of Taiwan and ran it 24 times. In most scenarios, the United States/Taiwan/Japan defeated a conventional amphibious invasion by China and maintained an autonomous Taiwan. However, this defense came at high cost. The United States and its allies lost dozens of ships, hundreds of aircraft, and tens of thousands of service members. Taiwan saw its economy devastated. Further, the high losses damaged the U.S. global position for many years. China also lost heavily, and failure to occupy Taiwan might destabilize Chinese Communist Party rule. Victory is therefore not enough. The United States needs to strengthen deterrence immediately.

Sadly I think masses of naval Drones will sink US CVs. PHI needs to invite Uncle Sam back. Changes everything

@beelee The big ship-killers are anti-ship missiles, which are much harder to counter than drones.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CredibleDefense/comments/108fwga/report_launchthe_first_battle_of_the_next_war/That thread discusses the same report. There are some interesting comments.
I have played this out in some commercial wargames with same result, any surface ships in war zone are dead within days. Which is a problem for an amphibious invasion.
A&A/TripleA make amphibious invasions much easier than they are in real life.
