Skill vs Numbers

Now if I can remember how I did the first pictures... (note to self, add attachment)


   
The end of the first turn. Things have already not gone as planned for the US troops. Besides the US troops moving toward the town you can now see the Japanese Americans at the bottom of the map moving on. 


   
Note the lack of the poor 700 Lieu that was sent forward. The Germans took offense at this tactic and moved a platoon forward and captured him. Then they responded in kind and road moved a leader up onto the hill where they had LOS to the US troops marching. Knowing what was coming the US tried desperatly to take that leader out dropping 3x18 oba onto his head but all it did was rattle him a bit. The German oba was then called onto a 3 stack of platoons rolling a 12 and getting 2x! Boooo. The remaining 2x18 was dropped onto the German leader who ducked his head and then calmly called in the onboard artillery onto the the guys that just saw their buddies blown to bits and rolled an 11 for another X. How's the battle going guys? Situation normal, AFU.


   
Things got a little interesting at the bottom of the map. I had not expected the German reinforcements to come in on the bottom of the map but the top. He aggressively moved a half-track with a Gren and the uber Serg 922 down and unloaded him near the edge of the map. Before the game had started I set my units up at the edge where I wanted them to come in and those Germans were right in front of an attack force that was going to put pressure onto the road and castle. Having better initiative I took a chance and moved a 3 stack of HMG's and a 3 stack of Inf right up to the Germans

You can also see the other Nisei units moving to contact.
