This was a fast game. A battalion of Marines with a few cannon-armed LVT were spread out in a skirmish screen behind the beaches. The Japanese had a battalion of infantry with the mission of breaking through the perimeter and reaching the beach. They decided to concentrate at the south end of the Marine line, hoping to overwhelm the Marines locally before the rest of the skirmish line could react.

The Japanese aggressively moved against 2 Marine platoons at the end of the line, who immediately began to dig in rather than opp fire. This paid off for them as they rode out the fusillade of gunfire and held on until reinforcements began to trickle in from the north.

The Japanese plan was to block reinforcements with a platoon of infantry and half a platoon of tanks on the high ground just north of the attack, but the Marine LVTs made quick work of the tanks and a Marine assault cleared the heights.

As more Marines showed up before the initial attack made any progress, the Japanese commander pulled back and attempted to establish a corridor off the board within which to withdraw, but the Marines on the high ground got around their flank and sealed the Japanese in a pocket. After two hours of game time the Japanese battalion was surrounded and badly mauled.

American victory.
