Leyte 1944, scenario Nine: Drive for Carigara

This scenario is kind a continuation of scenario 8 but the next day with a lot more artillery support and ground units for the Americans. This is the first time I got to use the American M7 self-propelled gun in the Pacific theater but not to be confused with the Marine M7 Rocket Truck or Mk-7. With all that mentioned about it, the M7 SP got too close to the action and was eliminated in my game. Maybe that was the highlight for the Japanese as they lost this scenario as the American gained a Major Victory achieving all three of their objectives. I will say the artillery off-board on both sides was murderess! At the end of this bloody contest, the Americans had lost 12 steps and a leader, while the Japanese lost 26 steps and 6 leaders and the game.
