The Allies set up on the east slope of the hill and dig in as the Axis approach from the east across the muskeg. The Axis suffer a number of units becoming mired and several more failing their forced march die rolls. This disjointed the Axis advance. Only one Axis stack was able to reach the now dug in Engineers. When it got there it assaulted at first opportunity. This assault was successful in eliminating four Allied steps over several turns as the Allies fed units in to replace those lost and demoralized. Eventually time ran out. At that point the Allies had lost four steps and the Axis only one. Game over. Axis victory despite the fact that only this one Axis stack had reached the hill. The rest were still struggling to come up through the muskeg. But it didn't matter the Axis had scored enough to win. A little had gone a long way.

This completes the Alaska's War scenario set. The arctic conditions were terrible. They were as much an enemy as the opposing forces were to each other. You don't hear about any veterans' tours going back to Attu. They're not going back and neither am I!
