| 2025-03-15 | (A) Kermit Mullins | vs | Nathan Wegener | | American win | 3 hrs | Round 3 of 2025 - KC March Madness Tournament. |
| 2025-03-15 | (D) nathan wegener | vs | Kermit Mullins | | American win | 4 hrs | HMG and 9-1 anchored the center and was able to thin the Jap forces before they reached the woods line. The M3 SPG got some nice hits and the Japanese attack did not quite have enough left to get enough buildings. . |
| 2025-03-15 | (A) Rob Schmitt | vs | Kevin Bradshaw | | American win | | Round 3 of 2025 - KC March Madness Tournament. Very enjoyable game. I was Japanese attacker vs Philippine army defender. I was able to methodically work my way into the center of town and the victory location hexes, but taking causalities along the way. His MMG and HMG in multistory stone buildings were brutal on my advancing Japanese. I was able to eliminate one halftrack with the ATR and another by double stun to force a recall. I had 6 of the 13 victory locations at the end. I did not have enough troops left to press any further in Turn 7. Once done counting the CVPs at the end of the game, the Philippine army had just a couple more than the Japanese. |
| 2025-03-15 | (D) Dave Mareske | vs | Jeff DeYoung | | American win | | March Madness 2025 |
| 2024-10-06 | (A) S. Slunt | vs | Colin Jeschke | | Japanese win | 4 hrs | The Americans set up a min board set up. The Japanese entered heavily on the on East side. The Japanese were able to Banzai on turn two.
The Americans conceded at the point they only have 1 hip'd squad left. |
| 2024-09-30 | (A) Steven Cummings | vs | Peter Palmer | | American win | | I was shellacked. My inferior tactics could not withstand so many low rolls by Peter. Over after Turn 2. |
| 2024-09-28 | (D) Tony Fermendzin | vs | Steve Boro | | American win | | Americans contested the Japanese entering the map. |
| 2024-09-10 | (A) Craig Renier | vs | Mark Thompson | | American win | | The Japanese attempted to strike the American left but were cut down by a forward defense and interlocking fire lanes. Conceded at the end of Turn 2 after taking heavy losses to include all but one leader killed. |
| 2024-05-19 | (A) David Garvin | vs | Andrew Luden | | American win | | |
| 2022-11-04 | (A) Shane Pask | vs | | | Japanese win | | My start was not aggressive enough and let the .50 cal hold up my advance. My first T-H hero failed to reach his target but absorbed so much fire before being wounded that the rest of that flank made it past. For most of the game, I thought I had no chance (forget exiting off the south edge!) including losing two CC - one at 2-1 odds in my favour and one where I had the ambush. I did not break any Philippines until turn 5 but had destroyed both GMC - I flamed the first one in CC after it had been stunned, immobilised and malfed. My last mortar with smoke placed a couple of screens on the last turn to allow me to capture two buildings to give me a one point victory. |
| 2022-07-16 | (A) Michael Rodgers | vs | Ed Akehurst | | Japanese win | | Japanese won against up front American defence. Points were from CVP and building locations. |
| 2021-11-27 | (A) Martí Cabré | vs | Ramon Povill | | Japanese win | | The Americans put an up-front defense that I was able engage with a couple of banzai charges, then he retreated and I slowly reached the first buildings but then the battle stalled there. I destroyed a vehicle with a T-H Hero and got one single smoke that landed on the .50 MG, being able then get close and break it. Finally with two truns to go I started taking buildings and the American had only one GO squad left and the gun and he conceded. |
| 2021-11-27 | (D) Adelaida Soler | vs | Juanjo Esteban | | American win | | Vaig fer una defensa dispersa. En perdre dos líders, el meu oponent va fallar la seva moral i vaig poder defensar les posicions sense gaires problemes |
| 2021-11-13 | (D) Asad Rustum | vs | Jacob Elmqvist | | American win | | An up-front American defence with an effective Ma Deuce was able to stop the Japanese onslaught |
| 2021-03-21 | (A) Will Willow | vs | J. Suderman | | American win | | VASL |
| 2020-09-24 | (A) Mike Grogan | vs | Dale Wetzelberger | | American win | | A bright start by the Japanese but stumbled in the middle against a well thought out American defence. |
| 2020-08-08 | (A) Rich Weiley | vs | Dave Wallace | | Japanese win | | My opponent went for an upfront defence, so the first 3 turns were a real slugfest but I gradually wore down the defenders on the US right flank and then ensured a breakthrough when a light mortar got a critical hit on the half track, squad and MMG defending in the woods on the board seam and he yahtzeed the random selection roll. By turn 5 I was well ahead on CVP having killed the second halftrack with a well timed THH. With only about 3 good order squads still in play, and Japanese units starting to gobble up victory buildings in the village, my opponent conceded. His cause was not helped by having the .50 cal malfunction on its second shot and stubbornly failing to repair for about 3 turns. |
| 2020-04-03 | (D) Eric Topp | vs | Ron Oxford | | American win | | Japanese took heavy losses approaching the town. The attack stalled short of the L7 building |

| 2020-03-22 | (D) Dave Mareske | vs | Kevin Bradshaw | | American win | | Even though the Americans lost both halftracks to a Banzai charge and great ATR shot they managed to decrease the attacking force little by little. The HMG got three spray fires on one turn. Great game, lots of options for attack and defense. |
| 2020-03-21 | (A) nathan wegener | vs | Francis Biss | | Japanese win | | Forward setup made the first turn tough but once the Japs reached the main line it was easier. LOTS of banzais! :-)

| 2018-11-03 | (D) X von Marwitz | vs | Björn Lorenzen | | Japanese win | | Grenadier 2018. Wanted to play the attacking Japanese this time but got the US. The Japanese entered exactly as I had hoped and sprung about every trap I had laid. Unfortunately, they consistently got away with it. On top, I have made three crucial mistakes throughout the game. Altogether I managed to stripe two Japanese units, wound one leader and kill 1 squad equivalent - in the ENTIRE game. So this playing was a complete disappointment. I am still convinced it is a very good scenario, but sometimes things are just meant not to work out. |
| 2018-10-30 | (A) Jeff B | vs | Elmo Menon | | Japanese win | | Japanese went for a hard sweep from the west, with a couple MGs and the ATR in the Z9 building to limit the American's ability to shift. It seemed to be a good approach as most of the resistance they met were scarecrows. The scenario is probably built for early banzai, but I was very wary of the three FL-capable weapons the Americans possessed and decided to hoof it a bit slower. Thus half my game was spent just getting to the bamboo thicket. And then there was the matter of going around it, something that would take another couple turns. At that point I was questioning the wisdom of my approach, but the shit all hit the fan the last couple turns with two consecutive banzai. First to breach the town, then to sweep the town. In the end all but one building was captured, with the CVP count being fairly even. All Japanese leaders died in the end, and probably half the Japanese casualties were from berserker charges. As hard as it is to not use the guns on the HTs to meet the headlong charge, I think they need to be safely tucked away in the village for the final stand, the rowhouse being the key building to hold (8 points). Fun scenario, if not a little bit tough for the Japanese. |

| 2018-07-03 | (D) X von Marwitz | vs | Alex Koestler | | American win | | Excellent scenario! The VC/SSR are typical Gary Fortenberry: Some subtleties hidden and maybe even a bit of a red herring. (C)VP calculation and outcome is kind of hard to forsee. I played the defending Philippine US Army. It has to make the approach of the Japanese costly, because if the latter don't suffer substantial casualties, then the US will be overcome. At the same time, the US has to carefully balance when to pull back. Remaining too long up front might invite disaster. Furthermore, the US has to keep a constant and careful watch on the (C)VP-Tally. In our game, the Japanese had quite some casualties before they were out of the Kunai and crossed the road. The latter was sigificantly eased by the exceptional Smoke performance of the Japanese MTRs laying 4x Smoke in Adjacent hexes practically blinding the US schwerpunkt of defence. This allowed the Japanese to close in but at the same time allowed my US defenders to pull back under Smoke cover. A tricky business is the scarcity of only 3 Japanese leaders. Eventually, I managed to kill two (lethal wounds) and to wound the third. My US guys managed to form a fall-back line and having inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese. I took watch for my ht's and the ATG not get too exposed to the Japanese, though the Sniper did manage to recall one of the ht's. Throughout the game, both sides were seriously whittled down. The US was doing well firing but the Japanese almost made up for it by being successful in CC. Eventually, there was not much left to hold the Japanese back with. For a second time, the Japanese MTRs managed to put down 3 or 4 Smokes/WP on the second line of defense, blinding much of it. However, we had a Mild Breeze coming up, so drifting Smoke became not only beneficial but also a bit of a bane for the Japanese as they simply could not see some of the US units any more. Again, the Smoke helped me to fall back into final positions. With the Japanese beginning to capture buildings and bagging broken US soldiers, things got close in the end. The US managed to pull off a win with 37 to 33 points, building locations being 7 to 6 in favor of the Japanese but CVP being 25 to 19 in favor of the US. The CVP show that this was bloody business. |

| 2018-06-10 | (A) jon smith | vs | yanks | | American win | | Bordering on a non game at end of turn 1. 6 from 8 NMC failed on box cars as the japs made their way onto the board meant they just didn't have enough forces to make a game of it. We played it through and the banzai charges were fun, but no competitive edge to it once japs lost 6 4-4-8 squads on NMC box car checks. |
| 2018-05-10 | (A) Simon Staniforth | vs | | | Japanese win | | |
| 2018-01-01 | (A) Michael Rodgers | vs | David Gillies | | Japanese win | | Good use of smoke and Banzai brought the Japanese into the village with few casualties. Americans conceded on Jap turn 5 because of lack of good order units. |
| 2017-07-09 | (A) Ron Garcia | vs | Darryl M. | | Japanese win | | |
| 2017-03-26 | (D) Jeff B | vs | Pierce Mason | | American win | 8.25 hrs | Japanese ATR did its job taking out both HTs, but not before their big guns did some early damage. Japanese leaders had a hard time staying alive or unwounded, slowing the attack. Axis accidently shorted themselves 2 mortars whose smoke-generating capability could have been a factor in the approach. At the end the Filipinos just lined up a wall of bodies to protect the village and the Japanese didn't take a single building. |
| 2016-12-29 | (A) Andy Beaton | vs | Blake Ball | | American win | | Japanese just kept getting whittled down and ran out of forces before I could get into the village. Borked the last CC which left an American HS alive on the road. |
| 2015-03-30 | (A) leo zhu | vs | Erwin Lau | | American win | | Best scenario for learn Jap's tactics.Wind changes during our play.Jap's sniper made two M3 stun three times.The last VP is 40:41, only lose by 1VP.Excellent game! |
| 2014-06-14 | (D) Andy Beaton | vs | Richard Hooks | | Japanese win | | I was doing a good job of slowing and whittling down the Japanese until the big banzai charge when all my guys stepped on rakes at once. Once the Japanese were in the village, it came down to a lot of CCs where I was crushed. |

| 2013-04-14 | (A) Paolo Cariolato | vs | Andrea Pagni | | American win | | It was the rematch of the previous game, the japs fared better but filipinos prevailed |
| 2013-03-10 | (A) Paolo Cariolato | vs | Andrea Pagni | | American win | | Andrea managed to CH with the 75 on the first turn, all my leaders were dead by the end of the first turn. After 3 more KIA that cost me 3 more squad I throwed the towel on turn 2 |
| 2012-12-01 | (A) Will Willow | vs | L. Davies | | Japanese win | | VASL |
| 2011-10-08 | (D) Edward Fritz | vs | Ed Fritz Sr. | | Japanese win | | This one was brutal and bloody - perfect for a face-off between my dad and myself. My dad had five (5) squads go berserk in this scenario. I couldn't keep up with the attrition. |
