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)

2020-06-01(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.
2020-05-09(D) Kevin Sanders vs Eric Topp American (USMC) winUS win (based on SK rules) - US needed to knock out both Japanese tanks. 1 Baz scored clean kill. Other Baz hit, rolled Boxcars and got an SK kill (no dud in SK)....US marginal win.
2020-05-09(A) Eric Topp vs Kevin Sanders Japanese winMarines had to knock out both Japanese tanks to win. BAZ hit but then Dud!
2020-03-29(A) John Smith vs Scott American (USMC) winAn utterly failed banzai charge halfway through the game decided this one. The elite USMC were able to mow down an entire banzai charge (5 squads) plus the 9-1 leader coming off the hill towards the village. The Japanese armor proved ineffective, and the equipment subpar, experiencing something like 3 broken MGs and a broken MA. The Japanese were never able to recover and it was not a good day for the Empire of the Rising Sun.
2020-03-28(D) Dmitry Klyuykov vs Fedor American (USMC) win
