2025-08-06(D) Andy Bagley vs Simon Staniforth Japanese winAs the Americans, I was prepared for an early Japanese banzai charge, but my opponent was more subtle than that. The Japanese approached slowly, using smoke from their SP artillery guns as cover, until they reached the hedge line to force the Americans back. Only then was it time for selective banzai charges, in some cases managing to surround the Americans with Japanese units which had advanced round the flanks. By turn 4 the Americans were all but annihilated and I had to concede.
