Leyte 1944, scenario Seven: The First Ridge

Historically this might have been a close match but in my game the Americans rolled incredible the whole game, 12s, 11s, 2s and 3s while the Japanese seem to roll 7s as their favorite number. This never happened to me in a scenario this much before. Even the U.S. Navy aircraft had fantastic results. Needless to say, the Americans won this scenario 13 to 1 in points. The Japanese lost 7 steps and a leader and the American lost only 1 step and controlled all the 60 meter hexes but one to add the an extra 6 points to their totals. This small scenario certainly favors the Americans but it’s a good learning scenario on how to take a hill in 16 turns with combined arms.
