Scenario Guad013

This is not a bad little scenario for learning the ropes in the jungle. It's also playable solitaire since it uses no hidden units. That said, it seems very difficult for the Americans to win. The Japanese start holding the victory hexes and the Americans have to move through the jungle and drive them out to win. The Japanese just need to hold to win.

Both forces are elite (9/8) so they can shrug off most morale checks. My Americans drove on the two victory hexes and tried to hammer them with fire and artillery. They occasionally drove a Japanese unit down to distrupted, but never did enough damage to cause the Japanese to pull back or to make an assault viable.

Because it can be played in under and hour and uses a small map area this should make a good training scenario. It's solo friendly setup means I'm likely to try it again.
