I gave this scenario a variable. I rolled the dice to see if the Japanese found the trail. They didn’t, and rolled a 6 for six hexes away. Most of the scenario involved the Japanese mired in the muskeg, only getting close to the hill in the final three turns. The US by then had LOS and brought fire on the slowed Japanese. The Japanese suffered several disruptions and were unable to even disrupt a single US unit. US victory.
