The Marines set up along the river line as the victory conditions involve Japanese occupation of hexes east of the river. The Japanese set up in a line along their entire front to advance on the Marines. As the scenario starts, the Japanese advance along the southern edge against the Marine left flank. The Japanese keep the tanks and a force near the Marine right flank to keep them occupied. Tha Japanese right flank continues to advance and eventually enter into assault with the Marine leaft flank. The dug-in Marines get first shots, but they are ineffective. The Japanese get some effective rolls in assault and the Marines suffer some casualties. The Marines try to send in some reinforcements, but that just weakens the center. The Japanese take advantage of this and begin to pour into the center. The Japanese maintain pressure on the Marine left flank using assault, and the Japanese center moves to assault the Marine center. The Japanese now occupy five hexes east of the river, and the Marines no longer have an effective counter attack force. The Japanese win!
