Overview:

By the fourth day of fighting at Nhpum Ga, the Japanese had completely surrounded the 2nd Battalion of the 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional) -- popularly known as "Merrill's Marauders". The 3rd Battalion's morning patrol from Hsamshingyang encountered a strong Japanese trail block about 400 yards north of the 2nd Battalion's perimeter at Nhpum Ga. The patrol tried to break through but finally had to withdraw back to Hsamshingyang. Colonel George McGee then decided to break the trail block from Nhpum Ga and carefully thinned out his perimeter to form a strike force.

2020-05-27(D) Matias Dahlbäck vs Vilis Pavulans Japanese winWe used the Japanese balance, removing a 8-0 from the American OoB.

A collapsing defense, combined with a banzai where the Japanese danced around all the bullets. This was promptly followed by some expert marksmanship (read: really, really, low dice rolls) for the Japanese at the advancing Americans. The 10-2 went down to a 24+1 firegroup and took two of his own squads with him. With four squads and one leader left against an almost equal number of Japanese there simply wasn't enough time and resources to stop the Japanese from maintaining a presence on or near the road.

2020-05-12(A) Kevin Sanders vs Rob Brown Japanese winSolid collapsing defense helps the Japanese along with a couple mistakes by US. US forces to lat 2 squads near Victory hexes and the Japanese sly move to adjacent to road for win on final advance phase, ---arg
2020-03-26(D) M T vs American winI played the Japanese and found the scenario tough going - managed to eliminate a few US squads and the 10-2 but was overrun in the end by overwhelming firepower and numbers. My setup might be at fault here though. I did a collapsing defense along the road, maybe the Japanese need to setup further into the terrain and move up to the road later in the scenario.
