Saipan:LVT's

[campsawyer]

I have no clue whether this is a better approximation of reality but i would have carried on until the landing crafts hit the beach and then implemented the decapitation.

My interpretation is men would have landed and then asked what now?

Such interpretations do not bother me at all but then again, I am not adverse of calling a mulligan and starting over if I see a better strategy for either side after just a few turns.

I understand what you are saying and leads to other questions about beach landing I have posted to both recent PG developers. I took the rules as is for now.

As for starting over, I have stopped thinking about doing this as I have come to discover that with PG as time goes on other thing occurs that may give the game back over to the other side. In this one there was a couple of moments like this. I figured once the marines hit the beach and got out of the LVT's they could then close on the Japanese which they did, but 2x42 and 1x30 plus onboard mortars put a quick stop to that with racking up more losses. At that point one might call the game, but with firepower and leader ratings of the marines they are bound to do something to get themselves going. They did but ran out of time and not clearing enough beach.
