Overview:

On Leyte in the Philippines, the U.S. 32nd Infantry Regiment seized the town of Dumulaan with ease. Several days later they received news that a large Japanese force was moving toward them. One battalion supported by artillery was to hold the point of the advance – the ridge separating the Palunas and Bucan rivers. The GIs called it “Shoestring Ridge" due to the meager force holding this vital piece of ground. On November 23rd the Japanese began a series of intense night assaults along the ridge, and by the evening of the 24th the defenders' situation was becoming desperate.

2015-12-22(D) Bill Brodie vs Eric Topp American winSet up mainly on the hills with wire protecting the weaker norther defenses. As soon as my 9-2 leader was free to move he and a half squad went and took over the .50 cal from the hero. It looked like the Japanese main thrust was on the north hill, but they were mostly dummies or single MMC.
On the south hill he revealed his strength and banzaied my defenders, but ran into fire from three .30 cals and the .50 cal., and his banzai was shredded. He managed to kill one US squad and leader but when he conceded on turn 5, the Japanese player did not have ore than four squads left!
