Leyte 1944, Scenario Twenty: Crossroads of Death

This was a fast and furious scenario with only 15 turns and still with the American Green Division and the 7/6 morale but this one was an interesting puzzle to solve, for both the Japanese setup and the Americans attack plan. In 15 turns and by the luck of the dice on some rolls, the Americans were able to achieve 2 out of 3 of their victory objectives for a minor victory on the last two turns clearing the north-south road. While they controlled the towns and roads, they did not have a two to one advantage in step loses, close but no cigar.

The Americans lost 8 steps and leader while the Japanese lost 15 steps, 5 leaders and the game. But this was still a very close call, so I can recommend this scenario for a nail-biter!

Errata: For the All town hexes victory condition it should say map 83, not 82.
