Overview:

D-Day for the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines called for K and I Companies to land in the initial assault wave, followed by L Company under Major Michael Ryan. K and I Companies were pinned down by enfilading fire from the re-entrant beach. Like everyone in the second waves, Ryan's company found themselves wading ashore across exposed reef toward the beach where prospects did not look good. Out of radio contact with the regiment, Ryan took charge of his company and the remnants of 3/2 and started to gain ground with his motley battalion.
Attacker: American (USMC) (2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division)
Defender: Japanese (2nd Company, 7th Special Naval Landing Force and 3rd Special Base Force)

2016-03-07(D) Jason Wert vs Michael Daschbach Japanese winTough scenario on the Americans. My IJA went on a rampage with the 0.50 cal and ended two FT's and a 9-2. Still great learning.
2014-08-25(D) Aaron Sibley vs Jeff Coleman Japanese winInteresting scenario up until I wiped out 5 USMC squads and a 9-2 leader with a Type 93 twin AA gun that had a rate party. Cheap win and a shame as it was going to be an interesting end game up till that point. :-(
2000-09-16(D) Michael Rodgers vs Jean-Pierre Raymond Japanese win
