Overview:

The Marines had solidly established their presence on Cape Glouchester, secured their initial objectives, and continued to push south and east. A major campaign objective was Hill 660. Confident that Hill 660 would be taken a detachment from the Weapons Company of 7th Marines was sent to cut off any Japanese retreat along a coastal trail. Soon after the sounds of battle died down from Hill 660, the first Japanese scouts were sighted as they tried to rejoin their comrades to the east.
Attacker: Japanese (141st Infantry Regiment, 51st Division)
Defender: American (USMC) (Weapons Company, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division)

2026-04-22(D) Tuomo Lukkari vs Olli-Pekka Kiukkonen Japanese win
2025-08-26(A) Douglas Leslie vs Bongiovanni Japanese winTook the attacking Japanese for this one. Rain turned heavy on turn one which greatly aided the assault. Eric had one of those games where a morale level of 8 counted for nothing against 2+1 fire attacks and this, combined with repeated failure by the USMC to roll 8 or less in close combat, spelt doom for the defence. Fun scenario that offers good chances for both sides. Just roll low!

2025-06-10(A) Rob Schmitt vs Mitch Davis American (USMC) winClose game till last two turns when USMC dice got hot as Japanese were running for the board exit.
2025-04-10(A) Andy Beaton vs Bruce StevensonD Japanese win3 hrsDice were in favour of the US, except for one roll where a Japanese LMG took out the American halftrack. Without that lucky shot, the US would have won.
