Overview:

As part of a larger offensive designed to drive Japanese forces away from the Matanikau valley, two battalions from the 5th Marines and elements of the 1st Raider Battalion attacked west from the Lunga perimeter on October 7, forcing an infantry company from the Japanese 2nd Division into a pocket on the east side of the Matanikau, where it formed a strongpoint. Rainy conditions on October 8 slowed the pace of the Marines operation, and that evening, as night began to fall, the remaining Japanese trapped on the east side of the Matanikau made one final push to get across the river and break out to the west.

2025-09-29(A) Alex Schröder vs Davide Japanese winThe Japanese managed to make break for it and won. The Americans were unable to stop them. Crucially, the squad manning the MMG at the forest's edge broke and reinforcements didn't manage to change that around and a big stack of Americans at the western end of the beach were unable to stop the Japanese rushing along the road.
2025-08-19(D) Alex Schröder vs Davide American (USMC) winI had the Americans set up guarding the sand spit and my opponent tried to be very cautious at the beginning. This was our first night time scenario so it was unclear to us how to take advantage of it. In the end, the Japanese lost too much time in the cautious approach, lost too much time in the barbed wire and never managed to break through.
