A renewed attack west along only the coast, this time with no worn out regiment at morale 7. This is much easier on the Marines but they still have to be extremely casualty adverse, so the Japanese are going with their usual suicide assault strategy to roll step losses and diminish the firepower advantage the Americans have. They focus their assault groups in the south so they can have as much power in one spot as possible, while their entrenchments hold their HMGs and SER and 37s as a placeholder.

Americans set up with all their HMGs at the far north, in the safest spot they can find overlooking the Japanese northern entrencment, and the rest set up 3 deep to try and fend off assaults, one group in the north by the HMGs ready to pounce on the trench and the others in the south where there is room (tight set up space).

OBA rolls decently throughout the game and helps reduce the northern entrenchment which the marines eventually swarm and take over. With this fallen the rest of the local positions fall in quick order, at the expense of 2 HMG steps to Japanese OBA.

In the south, the suicide counterattacks do their job and get enough casualties for the VC, and pin half the marines in place down there. The combined OBA is enough to eliminate the SER/37 dorks on the Southern trench and the unpinned marines clear out the rest of the VC area.

Ends in a draw with both sides winning.
