This is going to be a very tough go for the Americans, as they have to essentially boardwipe the Japanese with a short turn count and limiting casualties. Its probably basically impossible but not to my standard to get a "1" so its a very low "2".

I suspect the American setup info is wrong, in that they do not have space to fully set up, and they are quite a distance from the Japanese. So much so that they will spend a third of their turns just crossing the map to engage the Japanese. They do so without much trouble, maximizing the open/grass terrain to get in more activations while moving forward against FOW.

The Japanese intended to limit the impact of the road, and American DD (although these are fairly useless in actuality) while also increasing their chances of causing casualties against the weaker Army morale by setting up densely in the south. The USMC in the north does speed along the road and swing south while the Army has a more direct route to contact.

Battle ensues once the Americans break the jungle line, but there are just simply too many Japanese and not enough time. Japan wins easily. Probably aided by a broken setup instruction.
