Leyte 1944, Scenario Sixteen: Road to Dagami

I should have called this one, The Long Road to Dagami. The Japanese place one of the wrecks on the bridge hex on map 100, setup two defensive lines, a strong one on the hills overlooking the approaches on map 100 with one entrenchment there and the second line of defense along the road and town hexes on map 83 and a entrenchment in that area as well. The Casemates buffered the entrenchments and the 47mm AT Guns were in the entrenchments with supporting Infantry and weapons.

It took the Americans a long time to get through the Japanese first line of defense and at one point late in the game I decided I wouldn’t be able to control all the north-south road hexes and I better get units of the north edge of the map as I had a two to one advantage already in step loses and I better go for at least a minor victory instead of a loss. So just barely on the last turn the Americans exited steps 17 and 18, for a Minor American Victory, by a hair at that.
