Leyte 1944, Scenario Thirty-Two: Hill 380

It seemed like a pretty straight forward scenario, take the 60-meter hill mass, clear the east-west road and have a two to one step lose advantage as the Americans. However, the American’s FLM Engineer gets demoralized in the first assault, the Japanese off-board artillery is just as deadly as the Americans and the minefields forces the American armor to skate around terrain and get clogged up in that terrain. The Americans manage to clear the east-west road but they do not control the hills and have actually lost mores steps than the Japanese. The Japanese lost 10 steps and 1 leader, while the Americans lost 12 steps and 1 leader, giving the Japanese a minor victory.
