Overview:

As part of the invasion to capture the southern Marianas Islands, the 2nd Marine Division landed on the southwest coast of Saipan on 15 June. Lt. Gen. Yoshitsugu Saito chose not to expose the bulk of his troops to an American shoreline bombardment, but instead deployed the 43rd Infantry Division and 9th Tank Regiment inland where they could counterattack the Marine beachhead as it formed. The Marines landed under fire but quickly pushed off the beach. Saito took advantage of the relatively level and open terrain to launch a combined-arms attack, headed by Colonel Takashi Goto's 9th Tank Regiment, to smash the Marine position before the Americans could bring their forces to bear against him.
Attacker: Japanese (136th Infantry Regiment, 43rd Infantry Company and 4th Company, 9th Tank Regiment)
Defender: American (USMC) (Companies, A & G, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division w/Company Reserve)

2020-10-04(A) Eric Topp vs Mark Dennehy Japanese winA Japanese Banzai charge through the kunai chilled the hearts of the US defenders (three cowers in a row). The Japanese were able to grab the J5 and H6 buildings at a minimal cost in lives. The CHI-HA tanks snuck into H5 and I6 then stayed in Motion. The Marines could not knock them out in CC and the game was over.
2020-08-08(A) Vilis Pavulans vs Matias Dahlbäck Japanese winMatias as usual rolled a large number of well placed boxcars and 11s and a few 10s and 9s as well. The americans were almost wiped out, with both japanese AFVs and a few squads in the village by turn 4 and we called it a day.
2020-08-08(D) Matias Dahlbäck vs Vilis Pavulans Japanese winThe horror, the horror.

When it was time for the reinforcements to come in on turn four the Japanese had already overrun the village and there was only one American squad left standing in there. The rest had succumbed to FtR and HtH CC.

A humiliating defeat.
2020-07-28(A) M T vs N.N. Japanese winThe Japanese got in a phenomenal PFPh with their MMG, which coupled with an armored breakthrough resulted in a bunch of FtR's, collapsing the American firing line in the south. USMC player called it after turn 3. Good game!
2020-06-01(D) Kevin Sanders vs Rob Brown American (USMC) winRough game for the Japanese. Lost 9-1 leader to long range fire from MMG. 1 Baz squad held out against tons of fire to stall the Japanese advance. Lost a tank and called it...rough bit it is still a fun scenario..USMC just got very lucky this time.
