The Japanese set up along the river with the 37mm AA in the village, and the 70mm at the river bend. The Marines set up south of the village in two seperate forces. The game begins slowly as the Marines advance towards the village. The western force advances towards the Japanese along the river and the eastern force advances towards the village. As the western force nears the river, they stay out of sight and continue north with the intention of approaching the japanese force fromthe north. The eastern force continues toward the village, as Japanese fire opens up with no effect. The western force continues its slow march north, and the eastern force moves adjacent to the village. Japanese fire results in morale checks, but to no avail. The western Marine force begins to close with the right flank force of the Japanese. The eastern Marine force pulls back from the village and heads for the Japanese force at the bend of the river. The western Marine force moves adjacent to the right flank Japanese, and the Japanese assault the Marines. Over several turns, these two forces exchange fire in the assault with the Marines eventually losing two steps, and the Japanese force eliminated. The eastern Marine force moves adjacent to the 70mm hex. Bothe sides exchange fire at this location for several turns until the Marines eventually eliminate the gun. The remaining SNLF retreat from this position, as the Marines advance. The Marines close back on the village, but Japanese reaction fire only causes Morale checks which the Marines pass. Fire and assault eventually take the village for the US. The Japanese are close but no longer have any full strength SNLF units to try and get that last step loss on the Marines. The Marines have the village, so US victory!
