Leyte 1944, Scenario Forty-One: Imahori’s Blockhouse

An interesting start to a bloody battle as both sides start staring across the river from each other. Not for long as the American send a green wave of troops at the Japanese positions led by a massive creeping artillery barrage. Planned better than my recent scenarios and the Americans with an 8/6 morale, plenty of support weapons, some armor, two Engineer Flame units and two plan Engineer units to help take entrenchments and dug-in Japanese troops.

The Americans start to get the upper hand right away when on turn 8 Japanese reinforcements enter from the north and for the first time in my PG career two RCN infantry units from both sides exchange direct fire with each but in the end the American’s massive green wave of units and off-board artillery pushed the Japanese off the northern road and giving the Americans a Major Victory, achieving all three of their objectives. The Japanese lost 23 steps, while the Americans lost 6 steps.
