By Ted Nomura. AP Core Title! "Pikadon"?In real history, the two American A-bombs were an instrumental tool in ending the war, giving the Japanese government the excuse they needed to secretly conclude the Pacific war before the Soviets had a chance to invade Japan. In this new series, based on the popular Luftwaffe/WWII: 1946 titles created by Ted Nomura, the new front focuses on the Japanese war to defend itself against an all-out Allied invasion, so big that it would dwarf the D-Day invasion of Europe a year earlier. In this alternate history, Oppenheimer is killed in a freak car accident in Germany before the war, and with the American atomic program delayed, the Japanese succeed in creating their own A-bomb to use as a new Kamikaze tactic. Bimonthly. FC, 24pgs. Cover price $2.95.
