The Axis set up on the 40 meter Arctic Hill on the southern end of the ridge dug in. The Allies enter on 0301 on 1st turn & march north on clear terrain making two columns. On turn 3 the Allies get the initiative and begin to move across the muskeg toward the ridge line. Needless to say the advance became ragged with several units becoming mired. Then the thunderstorm came just as the allied units were becoming visible to the Axis mortars. This gave time for the Allies to close up their strung out column. Just as the Allies got to the 20 meter hill line the cold weather set in. Despite this the Allies were able to knock out the southern most axis position opening the way for the rest of column to gain the 40 meter heights. At 2130 the Axis decided to counter attack & assaulted the northern most Allied position. This assault eliminated 3 Allied steps. At 2145 the Allies counter attacked & eliminated a Japanese step and demoralized another. This pattern of assault and counter assault went back and forth for several turns. When the smoke cleared the Axis had only 3 steps left. The allies though had scored only 19 points to the Japanese 10. Japanese victory by one point. Close one. This scenario was fun but difficult to play for both sides. Both sides could win most certainly. A single demoralized unit on the 40 meter hill was the difference in this scenario. My Lt. Presley O'Bannon (8-0-1) survived with a net gain of 2 points. He was heavily engaged in assault four times and under direct fire three times. He failed MCs twice but passed four others. He eliminated 2 Axis steps in assault.
